Rock the vote on Project Open Squish!Not too long ago, Squishable announced Project Open Squish, in which fans of the spherical, squishy plushes would submit their own designs to see if they will be turned into a new stuffed friend for purchase. Well, after countless sifting through entries, the Squishable team has released the top 50, leaving them to be voted on by collectors like you. There were quite a range of animals on the ballot and you really must check them out for yourself. I won't tell you my favorites lest it be misconstrued as trying to influence your votes. Here's how it works: First, you need to create a site account (it takes, like, 30 seconds). Then, all you have to do is vote on as many or few designs as you wish. You rank them from 1 to 5 (5 being "absolutely love it") and can leave comments, if you so choose. You can even ask to be notified if the design gets approved. You have until midnight Pacific on November 2 to vote for your choices. What are you waiting for? Head on over there and do your civic duty! Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
