When Transformers, Strawberry Shortcake and My Pretty Pony made a recent comeback, I cheered. Well, not so much for My Pretty Pony… but Transformers and S.S., YES!!! But like many 80s stars before her, rumor has it that Strawberry Shortcake has had a facelift… no, more like a full body lift….

Check it – S.S.’s yarn hair has been yanked for long extensions. She’s got real human hands now, mind you. Five fingers – not just a fat thumb and a mitten hand for the rest. She may be wearing Crocs, I can’t tell. And I’m sad to say, the fine kitty Custard, doesn’t appear to be around anymore. Let’s hope he got another life. Here’s to you, Custard! Good kitty….

Word on the street has it that Strawberry Shortcake’s people have plans for a big comeback for the fruit-scented princess. On top of a new toy line, S.S. gets a new computer-animated movie and a new TV series in what her reps are calling a “fruit-forward” move. They said “fruit-forward,” not me….

A recent New York Times article dishes the scoop on this 80s sweetie. Take a look…. You’re lookin’ good, Strawberry Shortcake, real good….
