It stands to reason that every now and again, like every 90 years or so, a makeover is in order. Have something lifted, something tucked and something sucked (I'm talking liposuction you sickos. Jeez. Do NOT make me pull this blog over and come back there.) Well that's what's happened to the Sun-Maid Raisin girl. Yes, the sweet young damsel who has graced the packaging of a bunch of shriveled grapes for almost a century has gone digital and gotten a lot different. The newly revitalized icon (who was not hot enough at the time to make Adam's Standing Eight list of female mascots) will appear in TV spots and more now that she can walk and talk. Say what you will but she looks a little Stepford-ish about those grapes she's holding. [via The Beat]


1. She looks just like a Barbie doll now.
