| Local kids' clothing co. gets $10K for Office 2010 viral video - Seattle Post Intelligencer Posted: 13 May 2010 07:20 PM PDT Binh Nguyen beat out a dancing janitor and a "The Office" homage to win Microsoft's $10,000 prize in a contest for making viral videos about Office 2010.
His video (posted below) takes the viewer back to 1992, when he founded his kids' clothing business, Questkids Clothing, in Seattle. Back then, Nguyen struggled to keep organized and meet deadlines, but he says Microsoft Office now keeps his shop running smoothly. Microsoft and the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce held the contest as a promotion for Office 2010, which was released to businesses Wednesday. Nguyen's video was among the three finalists announced last week – the others were 4th Avenue Media and Thinkspace. Seattle magician Nash Fung, of Nash Fung Entertainment, also won $1,000 for submitting the best foreign language video. A local self-employed photographer, Inti St. Clair, won another $1,000 for best video by a woman-owned business. Fung's and St. Clair's videos are also posted below. Microsoft said there were 33 entrants to the contest. Companies had to be based in Washington and had to have seven or fewer full-time employees. More info here.

| EdenHome.com Adds Over 100 New Organic Baby and Kids ... - YAHOO! Posted: 14 May 2010 01:11 AM PDT EdenHome.com, where organic style comes naturally, has just added more than one hundred new organic, natural and eco-friendly baby and kids clothing, toys and accessories to their site to create the largest collection of organic baby and kids' gear online. (Vocus) May 14, 2010 -- EdenHome.com has added the best organic products from the top organic companies in a range of prices to meet a new parent's need for safe baby & kids gear regardless of budget. "We are so excited to introduce all of these new organic baby and kids products and truly be the one stop shop for new moms," says Alexandra Smith, owner and senior buyer at EdenHome.com. 65 new organic baby and kids clothing items were added to the Eden Home site from top organic clothing companies such as Kate Quinn, Manny & Simon and Frugi. Organic baby clothes are chosen by Eden Home for being 100% pure from start (manufacturing) to finish (processing) and they are also chosen based on being highly stylish and fun. The organic cotton animal tees and coordinating wooden toys from Manny & Simon are a great example where the organic baby shirt is designed with a dinosaur print going from front to back and the print matches the dinosaur wooden toy rocker and push toy too, all made by Manny & Simon from 100% natural materials without chemical finishes. Eden Home also added 33 new organic baby toys from top organic toy companies; Gund, The Maple Landmark Organic Toy Company, Manny & Simon, Green Toys and Sprig Toys. These new additions include dozens of new wooden toys, organic soft toys as well as a few BPA free plastic recycled toys. Organic toys from EdenHome.com are not only safe and fun to play with, but they often have an eco-friendly story or message that makes a child's play experience more meaningful. Take the Recycling Truck Wooden Toy from Maple Landmark for example. With this wooden toy, less is definitely more since it is simply carved from plain natural wood and it also has a great message for children about recycling. In addition to organic toys and clothes, Eden Home added 20 new organic baby accessories including the famous Baby Bjorn baby carrier that is now made with organic cotton.

| Kids have keen fashion sense when it comes to shopping - Vancouver Sun Posted: 14 May 2010 03:27 AM PDT Time was, little kids wore what their parents put them in. These days, even kindergartners are right on top of each season's trends and guiding use of the parental wallet. "I can tell you one of my employees has six-and four-year-old daughters," Kevin Meloche, Zellers' general merchandise manager for children's wear, said in an interview. "She had to meet them at the mall yesterday. "They have an opinion. They were walking by, and one little girl saw these rubber rainboots -- chocolate brown and pink polka-dots -- grabbed them and had to have these, and she's six. That's real young," Meloche said. In case you are among the uninitiated, chocolate brown and pink is as hot as you can get. Wired kids have up-to-the-minute knowledge of the trends and are more fickle than ever, Meloche said. As a merchandiser, there is no room for error. "You better have the right trend on the floor, because if you don't, it's not going to sell," he said. While adult runway fashions used to take a year to appear in the children's market, they are now appearing in the same season, he said. This spring, think '60s love, peace and flower power mixed in with '80s high colour penetration. Think citrus bright, acid-washed and tie-dye, he said. "The graphics are '80s-inspired. They are vibrant; they are bright ... In girls it's all about butterflies and small floral prints. Lots of peace signs." You'll see colourful leggings beneath casual tunics reminiscent of the movie Flashdance, and plenty of that aforementioned brown and pink, Meloche predicted. Boys' clothing is all about extreme graphics with skulls and crossbones, iron crosses and eagles. It's a skateboarder feel, Meloche explained. Even the polo shirts have extreme graphics across the shoulder or on the bottom of the shirt. Also big this spring is nautical styling -- wide-legged sailor pants, with a crisp red, white and blue colour palette, said Stefanie Missler, an owner of Dandelion Kids in Vancouver and Port Moody. Vans has created a boat shoe with a "cooler, skateboard-y thing going on. It's got lacing and is in navy," Missler said. "The traditional deck shoes are the domain of preppy teenagers. This is a bit edgier and not as literal. It has a thicker sole and the tread is really flat. "We're seeing lots of jumpsuits, which I love," Missler said. "We have one in particular, with beehiving and balloony pants. It's a voluminous and comfy, funky little outfit they can still climb trees in for ages one to nine years." For girls, she's seeing little tunics with tiered ruffles in small floral prints and punchy '80s colours. At the top end, Laura Spencelayh, manager of Babes on Fourth said Burberry is their most popular line this season. "I think it's because there's a real big trend of parents wanting to show off their kids," Spencelayh said. "It's only our second season with Burberry, and we are just amazed at how popular it is. It's a very traditional, classic look. . . . We have a fabulous white, yoked girl's raincoat ($300). It's one of those you could buy now, put your kids in it and save it for your grandkids." Other popular items this season are, for girls, polo tops with puff sleeves in the traditional Burberry plaid with white Bermuda shorts, and for boys, black cuffed shorts in both Hugo Boss and Burberry with orange, blue, red or white polo shirts. Babywear reflects trends in children's wear, said Lisa Malcic of Beba Bean, which sells baby gifts and apparel in Coquitlam. Pantone, the colour company, has chosen turquoise as its colour for spring-summer 2010. In baby wear, it translates into soft turquoise, and for tweens, it's almost fluorescent. Lisa Will of Stonz children's outdoor wear, which makes its product at Venables and Commercial in Vancouver, said plaids are so big she's had trouble finding them for her boots. Parents might choose conservative tans for themselves, but they are adventurous with kids' clothing. "Dark brown with dusty rose or denim blue is still our bestseller," Will said. "Brown with lime green is also hot." Vancouver Sun jennylee@vancouversun.com Five Filters featured article: The Art of Looking Prime Ministerial - The 2010 UK General Election.
