Martha Stewart Loves Snoop Dogg's Junior Robot Necklace

A few months ago, two Rockettoro fans spotted Junior around Snoop Dogg's neck when he appeared on the Martha Stewart Show (Nov 18th 2008). We've been looking for images and video to confirm, and here they are. The video quality is a bit low, but it appears that Snoop Dogg does have a Junior (in white and clear) and that Martha Stewart loves it.

Watch the video below and check out these pics. If you're a Snoop Dogg fan and have a more clear photo of him wearing his Junior please send it in.

Martha Stewart: “You look great” (reaches for Snoop’s Junior Robot necklace)

Martha Stewart: “What’s this little-”

Snoop Dogg: “That’s my little robot man”

Martha Stewart: “Oh look how cute! Did you design that?”

Snoop Dogg: “No – I had it made for me”

Martha Stewart: “That is so cute – robot man. That is beautiful!”

Snoop Dogg: “Thank you.”

Blossom Pendant on NBC's TODAY Show

Rockettoro.com's Blossom Pendant featured on NBC's TODAY Show Mother's Day Guide. "This Mother's Day, give a memorable, A-list gift; TODAY's Bobbie Thomas on Tinseltown's top items for your shining star."

"Fergie (Black Eyed Peas) flipped for these for her mom. This is Rockettoro. It's a little glass mini-vase that you can plant a bud in the soil and actually grow a little flower or you can stick a fresh cut flower in it - and you can wear it around your neck. It's a different way to keep flowers close to your heart." - Bobbie Thomas (TODAY Style editor and author of the Buzz column for In Touch Weekly) with Lynn Harless (Justin Timberlake's mother). May 7 2009

New Blossom Pendant Images

I was walking back to Rockettoro Studio the other day and noticed these beautiful little blue flowers growing by the side of a busy street in downtown Toronto. I stopped after a few steps, turned back and picked a few - there was something so subtle about them; I just had to see what they'd look like inside a Blossom Pendant. Here a the resulting images from the photoshoot. Just another reminder that inspiration can strike at any moment, always carry your Blossom Pendant with you.

New Eve's Apple Images

Eve's apple is one of my favorite pieces to make. I love using this "striking" glass color. Red glass starts off fairly clear and dull, but once I heat it up to the right temperature it glows a brilliant red - strikes - and darkens to the deep red that you see in these apples. This is also the same type of glass that I use to add the little light bulbs to the heads of Junior and Robot. I think this tone of red really pops when contrasted with the emerald green leaves resting on the top of the apples. I've often been asked if I can make these apples smaller, the answer is yes, just e-mail before ordering and I'll be glad to customize.

New Junior Robots

These are 3 recent Juniors. I was playing around with some new ideas and color combos. The first is my favorite - he's got three tones of transparent blue and little black spots underneath. Below the Blue Junior are a Radioactive Green Junior Robot and a Bubblegum Pink Junior Robot. These are one of a kind and are available - although there's only one of each. I'd love to know what you think - leave a comment - let me know which you like best and why. If you're interested in owning one, please send me an e-mail.

Here's a glass Kookie pendant that I made for one of the show's hosts, KoffeeKid Smalls. He's a chocolate chip cookie dipped in milk and wearing headphones (just like the show's logo).
