He has the Mexican flag on his chest and was part of a USA exclusive collection called the International Collection. which is a little bit ironic. As far as I know, I don't have any of the other international bears. I don't know what the name Osito means. I tried to look it up. It feels a little… On the nose in a way. I've also never heard it before. I don't think it's anything, I think it's just a little bit of microracism of the time.
Oh, look at this embroidery here!

Across the waters of the Rio Grande,
lies a beautiful and mystic land… Mmm. I don't like that rhyme… Across the waters of the Rio Grande lies a bee-yoo-tiful and mystic land.
A place we all should plan to go,
known by us all as— No, they didn't even do that one right okay.
A place we all should plan to go,
known by all as Mexico.

Hello producers, patrons, friends, and family. It is I, the Beanie Baroness, coming to you with an audio update that we can call pre-production update number one. I have been working; yesterday I was on set in terrible weather, trying to make money, learning a lot.
I didn’t even get a chance, I don’t know if anybody’s been keeping tabs on the actual work output I’ve had here at Beanies 4 Screenies headquarters, but I never even completed the Olympic themed winter sports pack. I just forgot, it just fell out of my grasp because I had so much work to do.
That being said, I have posted online but I haven’t gotten such a good response so I want to reach out to my, the people who know me in general:
I am now hiring what I would call an “intern,” so if you have a teenager, a young adult, a very smart dog, or ten-year-old who just needs like a hundred bucks to buy video games, I’m now hiring.
I’m looking for an intern, primarily someone who can copy and paste information and materials that I create. But I need time to create them; copy-pasting and waiting for things to load takes up such a large portion of creative time. I need somebody who has the ability to take the 20 minutes out of their day with material that I have taken the 20 hours out of my day to create. It’s really just those last little bits, it has nothing to do with creativity. To keep it simple, I’m gonna put the ad I posted on Craigslist in the body of this post.
We’re seeking an online, observant, and trend-aware administrative intern to assist the CCO with market research, spreadsheet management, and social media. Not a content creation gig but ideas and skills are welcome!
Ideally, the role will be less than 5 hours a week, mostly virtual to start. The first task would be fixing our Facebook page because I have no idea what our CFO did. After that, I will probably ask you to look up something random and put results in a spreadsheet, then come up with some hashtags based on current events. Otherwise, we are looking to build duties around the skillset of the intern and hours/tasks/credits needed. Non-students are welcome, however we cannot offer fulltime pay at this time.
The position comes with potential for growth, a flexible schedule (work from home or from your other job), and potential reimbursement on pre-approved business purchases. PLUS occasional fun things like nights out, random free stuff, and haircuts. (Prefer 21+ for event attendance, will consider younger.)
To apply, please email your educational situation, work history, and details of availability. (Personal computer required for work with Google services.) Please use the subject INTERN and include a brief response to this query: In these present conditions, should a small business maintain a TikTok?

Glory was born, obviously, on the 4th of July, 1997.
Wearing the flag for all to see,
a symbol of freedom for you and me.
red, white, and blue, Independence Day.
happy birthday, USA.

Glory is available with the rest of their teammates in the Winter Beanie Teamie Six Pack for a generous $1,000 donation. Glory is available as an individual thank you at the $200 donation level. Always remember, individual gifts are tax-free up to a million dollars.

He features a carrot nose, which is common in snowman lore. A lot of times that I remember building a snowman— I say a lot of times as though there were more than three—When we got around to making the buttons for the snowman outfit, we would use extra coal that we got from the grill in somebody's backyard.

There was a snowman, I've been told,
that plays with beanies out in the cold.
What is better in a winter wonderland
than a beanie snowman in your hand?

That is kind of cute. I can't help but like my twin just a little bit. Snowball, the obviously C-string, rotund bench warmer of the Winter Sports Team is available for a $5 donation, or as part of the Winter Beanie Teamie Six Pack for a generous $1,000 donation. And always remember, individual gifts are tax free up to a million dollars.

[You know, this is a little bit of an organizing tangent. I am a bit relieved that these bears, that these holiday bears were born on their holiday, because I also am releasing these on their holiday. It’s good to know that Ty Warner and I were not thinking that much in advance.]

Look at how cute this guy is!

Perfect for the winter sports season, the 1999 Holiday Teddy features a full snowflake print head-to-toe bodysuit and a matching… Well, it’s not really matching… A non-detachable snowflake scarf in a different pattern, which if you know, you know, that clashing is actually tres chic.

Peace on earth as the holidays grow near.
This season is all about giving good cheer.
With love and joy in your hearts,
let’s all be friends as the century starts.

[That was so long ago at this point, isn’t that wild? Anyway.]
The ‘99 Holiday Teddy is available for a $10 donation as an individual bear, ~OR~ as a 6-pack with his other teammates…
With his other Winter Sports Teamie Beamies!

And always remember: individual gifts are tax-free up to a million dollars. =]

Let's see what the poem in her tag says:
Velvet loves to sleep in the trees,
lulled to dreams by the buzz of the bees.
She snoozes all day and plays all night,
running and jumping in the moonlight.

Celebrate your black friend this February by donating $200 towards a Velvet Beanie Baby today!

Rainbow's date of birth is October 14th, 1997. Otherwise a nothing day, but then rainbow blue appeared! The poem on his tag reads:

Red, green, blue, and yellow,
this chameleon is a colorful fellow,
a blend of colors his own unique hue,
rainbow was made especially for you.

This is a misprinted rainbow in the blue/green color scheme. Rainbow also comes in "rainbow" tie dye. Rainbow is a chameleon who does get confused for Iggy the iguana, because Iggy also comes misprinted-- in rainbow!-- as well as blue-green tie dye. However, Iggy is referred to as "green" in colorway.

Check out Rainbow in Blue!
