We love you Alyson!

We here at Kooky Kidz along with many others in Tampa are very sad to say goodbye to our dear friend, Alyson Hobbie. Alyson was just one month into 40 when she lost her battle with breast cancer approximately 1 1/2 weeks ago. Alyson will always be remembered as a wonderful lady, fantastic mother, a super brainiac who loved to read & an overall outstanding person. Alyson leaves behind a super fantastic son, Beau, only 7 years young. We look forward to many years of having Beau around to love on. Please help out the Hobbie family as they adjust to their role of being caretakers of Beau. A trust fund has been set up on behalf of Beau...please donate to: Attn: Asela ManteconInvestacorp, P.O Box 9320, Miami Lakes, FL 33014. A fundraiser will be held in Tampa, FL on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. & from 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. Please contact Mrs. Kooky @ kookykidz@verizon.net if you are interested in attending or donating any funds to help Beau out. Anything you can do to help the Hobbie family will be greatly appreciated.

Gasparilla is in the air in Tampa!

Gasparilla is in the air in Tampa! If you are unfamiliar with Gasparilla, it is a huge annual celebration of the pirate invasion (similar to Mardi Gras). It is beloved by all the locals (& many even come in to town for the event). Kooky Kidz kicked off the Gasparilla season by having a Buy Your Booty, Sell Your Booty Pre-Gasparilla Girls' Night Out last night. It was a huge success! All the vendors involved (Nicole Geller Photography [http://www.nicolegellerphotography/], Cazou [www.shopcazou.com], Two Swings Studio [www.twoswingsstudio.com}, The Silver Diva [www.thesilverdiva.com], Ava's Twinkle Toes [www.avastwinkletoes.com], Golden Canyon[www.mygc.com/tampacandles], Arbonne [www.kimberlydavis.myarbonne.com] & A Gem Quest [www.agemquest.org], including Kooky Kidz, all had merchandise and themes directly related to brining in the Gasparilla season. It was truly a great way to usher in this Tampa holiday! A good time was had by all! Please check out our one-of-a-kind skirts by Jenny Meg - they are great for Gasparilla or anytime!
