I added a few other odds and ends, including some photographs of babies wearing the embroidered “Ellen” diapers and washing instructions from Kelly’s Closet. In case you are wondering, the Rumparooz, Fuzzibunz, and Bottombumpers diapers were sent free of charge for the package. I paid out of pocket for the Zany Zebra (Which I wasn’t even supposed to get but there was a mixup so I felt obligated to pay, long story, and why I have 2 cupcake diapers for Ellen’s niece, Eva) and the embroidery on the covers which were used for the video shoot. The covers themselves were donated by Kelly’s Closet (5 of them). Kim from Rockin’ Green gave me the sample but she had no idea it would end up in the package. I bought the Wiggly Gigglers (in case you are wondering, I made a Shake Weight for Babies video to send to Ellen for laughs)
As suggested by the title, this is my last effort for Operation Fluffy. I have put a lot of time, effort, and money into the operation. If this doesn’t work, nothing will. This package is literally being handed to Ellen Degeneres by someone in her staff. Let’s just say I have a friend, who has a friend, who has a friend that works at the show. ’Nuff said.
I want to thank everyone who has been involved in Operation Fluffy. It has been a fun ride! A special thanks to the generous companies who sent in items for the video and the package! And a thank you to Jillian’s Drawers who allowed me to invade their community room to film the video (which is being edited still, it will be in the package.) A VERY special thank you to the moms and dads who brought their babies to be filmed in the video! I can’t wait to share it with you all. If these adorable diapers don’t convince her how cool cloth is, nothing will.
If you listened to me last Sunday on the Cloth Diapers Rock radio show from The Feminist Breeder then you know part of what is coming up for #operationfluffy. If you didn’t listen, you should anyway just to hear Gina and I blab about cloth diapers etc.
June 8 I will be filming an awesome video of babies dancing in embroidered cloth diaper covers (donated by Kelly’s Closet!) with the phrase “Cloth. Dance. Ellen.” on the butt. The diapers are being embroidered by Bottombumpers. Mandi from Jillian’s Drawers is letting me invade her community room which is housed in her brand new store in Ithaca, NY. I will be filming the babies there. Where am I getting all of these babies? I have asked some local residents in Ithaca to let me borrow their children. My own son will be dancing as well!
I have something even more awesome for the video planned that is sure to make Ellen smile. It involves a Shake Weight and babies. You will have to wait and see if I can pull that off!
Once the video is finished I am sending it to her along with some custom embroidered diapers. She is getting a Bottombumpers AIO with “Cloth. Dance. Ellen.” on the butt and her niece, Eva, is getting her own custom diaper with an appliqued cupcake and her name on the back. I will also be including a few other brands of diapers in the box to show her how amazing modern cloth diapers are.
I am really excited about what is coming up. Even if we don’t get the diapers or the video on her show, rest assured it will get some traffic on YouTube. And any exposure for cloth diapers is great!
