Tom is solid, steady and true. He’ll go along with anything and has complete faith in his fellow band mates. Even if they sometimes play pranks on him or tease him just a bit he can take it because even he admits that sometimes he finds it hard to pay attention to anything that’s not rock ‘n roll. He knows what he likes and that playing makes him happy. That, and food.

Axe-L is a total spotlight hogging diva. He can’t help but think he should always be the center of attention.  Both on stage and off. He’s serious about practice because he knows that discipline is what it takes to succeed. He’s sure of where he wants to go in life and if you have to pay his rent and support him while he goes for it, that’s okay with him. He’s got big dreams, big ambition, and a big ego. But man, can he play!

Part of theBandMates™, DJ MC Square is one cool dude. Totally chill but with none of the ‘tude. His grooves are heavy but his flow is smooth. He’s always into jamming with you. He understands what makes the world go round and he keeps his feet firmly grounded. He’s got mad beats that will make you move, yet he’s the one you can confide to.

This is Mike. He fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, just like he was meant to be there. He’s a fast talkin’ kinda guy who thinks he has all the answers and definitely wants to have the last word. Unfortunately, he has no ‘indoor voice’ – his volume is always turned up.  While almost too dynamic for his own good, his verbal skills allow him to talk his way out of almost any situation he leads his fellow band mates into.  He surges into life and wants to scream and shout and dance all about.

This kit is based on the premise that the key to learning how to draw fashions is to understand the body shape that is under them. Girls can pose and sketch the mannequin, then gradually add on their own unique fashion designs. "The design guide show step by step techniques on how to understand proportion of the body. The posable mannequin is a nice addition to the kit for a visual item to sketch and practice from," Sarah Koth, PR coordinator for Fashion Angels Enterprises, told TDmonthly. Launch date: 2008.
