The Rundown
Our new First Lady is not happy about the fact that Ty, the toy company that brough you Beanie Babies, has come out this week with Sasha and Malia dolls. The company says the dolls have nothing to to with the new first tweens, but the Obamas aren't buying it.
What do you think of these new dolls? Is it sketchy to capitalize off the Obama girls' popularity, or a smart business move? It's our 1 o' clock fight! We'll have with us Eric Masoncup, co-owner of Geppetto’s Toy Box, a three-year-old store in Oak Par, and Janet Barker-Evans, a VP at Chicago ad agency Draftfcb.
THEN
At 2pm, stay tuned for a conversation with Chicago historian Timuel Black. This south side legend knew Barack Obama coming up and will talk with us about the Inauguration and how Chicago might change as home to the nation's first black president.
