As Told By Ginger Toolkit by d. krassner

SHOW SYNOPSIS

I’m only 12-years-old and being thrown to the wolves - in Lucky Junior High School! Teetering at the edge of teenhood is not as great as I thought it would be. In fact, I’m finding it totally confusing. I think I’m shy, my mother calls it self-conscious. The boys I want to notice me don’t notice me but the boys I don’t want to notice me notice me. And when I have two friends, Dodie & Macie, why do I even care about being friends with Lucky Jr. High’s most popular girl, ? And if I do get to be friends with Courtney, will I have to be nice to her henchwoman, ? Will my little brother, Carl, and his best friend, Hoodsey, embarass me out of town so it won’t matter who I’m friends with anyway?

(Hmmm, which sounds cooler?)

CHARACTER BIOS

This is me, Ginger Foutley. Mom says I'm a pretty typical pre-teen girl ( ) - self-conscious ( ), wanting to be noticed but not wanting to be looked at. I'm totally loyal to my best friends, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't kind of like to be friends with some of the popular kids namely Courtney Gripling.

One of my best pals, Dodie Bishop, to hear gossip and spreads it without meaning to (it can happen, y'know). More than me and Macie, Dodie would love to be a part of the , but that doesn't seem likely.

My other best pal is Macie Lightfoot. She's quiet, shy and allergic to . I think the word "neurotic" was made up to describe her. She has a nasal voice and knows a doctor for ails you. 3

CHARACTER BIOS

Courtney Gripling is a snob who’s always had everything handed to her. She is leader of the and loves to manipulate everyone around her. But she really seems to like me. She even said I was . That’s a good thing,

Miranda Kilgalen is Courtney’s right hand girl: scheming, and cruel in her desire to be the queen of Courtney’s inner circle, which she is. And she finds a real threat.

CHARACTER BIOS

Darren Patterson is my guy friend in the whole world. We have a couple of classes together this year and we practically have lunch together. He really looks out for me. And I try to do the same for him. Wanna know something weird? One night I had a dream about him and Dodie and Macie said the dream meant I liked him as a boyfriend. Lois Foutley is my mom. She’s single, ever since my dad left. She works as a hospital nurse (that’s how Carl got the eyeball). I’d say mom is nonsense and protective of Carl and me. But that’s how moms are,

Robert “Hoodsey” Bishop is Carl’s best friend and my best friend Dodie’s little brother. He’s gullible, chubby and neurotic (you’d think he was Macie’s brother!) and Carl can guilt him into just about . Oh, and he got his nickname ‘cause he always wears this purple sweatshirt with a hood.

CHARACTER BIOS

Carl Foutley is my little brother. He’s bizarre, uninhibited and he loves to shock people, which he does fairly often. Like when he went to school completely covered in synthetic hair pretending he was "wolf boy." His most prized possession is the petrified eyeball he keeps in a jar.

Blake Gripling is Courtney’s younger and (if you can believe it!) brother. He’s around Carl’s age. And for some reason he finds my little brother and his weird hobbies . I guess that’s why he stole my brother’s petrified eyeball. 6

You’ve just got to think back on that time of your life when you were a teen. Then you’ll know what it takes to make Ginger products and promotional stuff totally awesome. But in case you can’t think back that far , here’s some inspiration:

, without being flash-in-the-pan (my mom told me that one!)

Girl-Powered, NOT Down-home design (like it’s "homemade") SO, LIKE, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Well, I’m called a typical teenager. And like a typical teen, I like stuff that’s really . You know, reflects my personality and stuff. But isn’t (another great saying mom taught me!). So think about what got you excited as a teenager. Make sure the products you create are involving (me, Macie and Dodie love to do our hair and wear totally awesome accessories to really dress up our

outfits-7

)--smart (definitely not juvenile)...and legal!

SOME INSPIRING WORDS:

PHRASES FOR THOUGHT:

Attitude adjustment On-the-Edge All the rage Keep it real Laid back You can’t be serious! Stream of Consciousness PRODUCT CHECKLIST:

You can’t fit all aspects into every product, but try your best to include at least one or two of the following into each. Fresh (not trendy) Girl-inspired (not girly!) Age-Appropriate (that "what am I?" time between "you’re too old for that" and "you’re not old enough") Conspicuous (not flashy) So as you go through this diary, you’ll notice the patterns, designs, and artwork are divided up by sections: Schooltime, Hangin’ out at Home and Slumber Party. These are the three main themes we’ve created for Ginger products to give you an idea of how we’re thinking. 8

FONTS I LIKE!

I especially like to see BlindFish used for Headlines.

Bokka Half Shadow AND Cocon Reg. are great for

marketing blurbs.

BORING IMPORTANT INFO 27

Getting Approval from the Higher-Ups: Sorry guys. But it seems like teenagers have to get permission for EVERYTHING. You just have to get permission for this stuff. Any usage of As Told by Ginger Foutley character’s names or likenesses must be approved - in writing - in advance of use. And the only way it’ll be approved is if it is based on character design that follows models and colors ...follows correct relationships between characters ...is appropriately integrated with products and advertisements ...uses correct typefaces ...blah, blah, blah. All the “how-tos” to get it right are somewhere in this guide. And like my mom always says, if you can’t find it, ask.

The year to include in this notice is the year in which the design of the product is first distributed to the public. When it makes its big debut! Around here, they like it best when you place the legal info on the bottom of the box front. If this isn’t possible, put it on the back of the package, bottom right side, near the licensing logo. In addition, the symbols ™or ®, as applicable, should appear next to the first or most prominent use of the name Nickelodeon, As Told by Ginger Foutley and any character names when they appear in a piece of licensed merchandise or in any advertising copy. On packaging, and in print advertising, the required notices must be applied in a legible (we’ve gotta be able to read it, right?) and permanent format utilizing BlindFish, Bokka Shadow, Dear Diary and/or Cocon Regular.
