Danielle & Kay Panabaker
March 26, 2006For Christmas Cassie got a DVD of Sky High. It's a Disney film but I didn't buy it for her. Actually, I didn't even know it was on her "Christmas List." Her grandparents got it for her. She ended up watching it over and over again and loved it. I actually got sucked in during one of the showings, and I have to say it's a great movie. It's cute, fun and clean - apparently a rare mix these days.
One night while I was surfing I looked up Sky High and didn't recognize any of the kids in the movie. That made me curious, and I hunted around and ended up at Danielle Panabaker's website. Danielle was the co-star of the movie, playing the romantic interest of the main character. She was also a super-heroine that could control plants. (Ah. Super-heroes, you say. It all makes sense now...) The website was good but I thought I could make it look a little cleaner. So I found a contact and emailed, offering my "pro-bono" services.
A quick aside: this is proof, Alert Reader Tammy would say, of how I would never stop working if I hit the lottery. Of course I won't since I don't play the lottery, but that's another story. She insists I have this "work issue" that crops up like this from time to time. I say that it's more of spotting a need and filling it. Of course, there are a lot of websites out there so I probably won't be finished any time soon.
In any event, the contact wrote me back to take me up on my offer. So I started working on a site, and suggested I could redo her sister Kay's site at the same time - which I did. Meanwhile, both Danielle and Kay sent autographed pictures to my kids, which they were thrilled about.
I finished the sites recently. There's are some screen captures below, and you can find Danielle Panabaker's site here and Kay Panabaker's site here. In addition to being gifted actors, they're both apparently brilliant. Kay, for example, has a college degree at 15. At 15 I think I hit 1,000,000 points on Activision's Laser Blast. I even took a picture of it and got the Commander's Patch. Okay you can stop laughing now.
