Get groovy, Shelley Gang, because it's time to talk about lava lamps. What is a lava lamp, you say?

Shelley defines them as, "When I think of a typewriter, it's the kind that's...like...kind of looks like an old-timey cash register...kinda stands up in the back... and then the keyboard in the front... and you put the paper in... and there's the, like, kwish kwish kwish that puts the paper in. And then you type away, and then you take it out... and then put another paper in." Imagine that in Tom Hanks' voice, though.

A day late and a girlo short, Shelley Gang. The Chatfield Girls are without a sister expert as they traverse the ins and outs of Rainbow Hair. Shelley termed rainbow hair as, "You have hair on your body, but usually this procedure is only done to the hair on your head. And, uh, you get it all dyed beautiful, rainbow-y colors... maybe not the traditional six rainbow colors, um, but some sort of varied/many colors." And she's right! Plus, the segment "Million Dollar Ideas" has two ideas that'll knock your nasty boots off!

Tuesday Jan 01, 2019
The Shelley Gang is going to chomp on the dispensable candies of wisdom that the Chatfield Girls shared about PEZ. Shelley described it as, "It's a little thing that is a mix of toy and dispenser. It's got usually maybe a cute character or fun something on the outside, and when you open its mouth and/or neck, it gives you a little candy you can eat. And the candies are many flavors... but one flavor at a time." Plus, there is a visit to Shelley's dreamscape in the segment "Shelley Had a Dream," and the girlos gape in awe at its oddness.
