Sylvanian Family toymaker drops lawsuit against Irish social media account
The 'Sylvanian Drama' seems to have come to an end as the Japanese company behind the popular Sylvanian Family toys has dropped its lawsuit against the Irish creator behind the viral sensation. The account, called Sylvanian Drama, is run by Thea Von Engelbrechten from Co Kildare and became massively popular during lockdown. The acccount uses the Sylvanian Families toys to create soap-style storylines, which can often get quite dark and murderous, and has accumulated around 1million followers on Instagram and 2.5million on TikTok. The 'Sylvanian Drama' seems to have come to an end. Pic: Sylvanian Families As the page's fame rose, it caught the attention of Epoch, aka the company who first launched Sylvanian Families in 1985, who later filed a lawsuit in New York alleging 'copyright infringement' and 'irreparable injury' to the brand's reputation. Brands such as Marc Jacobs, Sephora, Netflix and Kate Spade, however, were massive fans of the page, collaborating with them on advertising and engaging in sponsorship deals. One of the page's most popular videos, which has more than 3million views on Instagram alone, sees a character be asked if she wants to 'relapse' tonight, but she explains she is happily married with children now.

The parody account submitted a defence of 'fair use', with Vincent Allen (the managing partner at Carstens, Allen and Gourley law firm) telling RTÉ News: 'She is introducing these characters in a completely different way than Epoch ever dreamed that they will be used and she's creating entertainment.' 'What is she copying? She's just using their toys in a way that they don't like.' The case was due to go before a judge on August 14, with Epoch dismissing all claims on August 8. The court documents read that the dismissal was 'without prejudice, with each party to bear its own costs, expenses and attorneys' fees.' No details of the settlement were released, but it is understood there will be some changes made to the social media accounts. RTÉ claimed that neither Epoch nor Ms Von Engelberg responded to their request for comment.

Doja Cat transforms into '80s blonde bombshell for album promo
Doja Cat has entered full promotional mode ahead of her highly anticipated fifth album Vie. The rapper, 29, debuted a blonde new look as she promoted her new single, Jealous Type. Posing on a poster featuring a number for fans to call or text, the Say So artist resembled an 80s star with striking blonde hair and bold blue eyeshadow. Yet, this 80s aesthetic will hardly surprise her devoted fanbase, as Doja has spoken at length about the decade's influence on her upcoming record. She first teased the inspiration with her look at this year's Met Gala, a collaboration with designer Marc Jacobs, who has since featured a snippet of "Jealous Type" in his own campaign. 'I just wanted to feel like a little gangsta, I just wanted to feel like the madam,' she said in May. 'And I feel like [Marc Jacobs] brought that, like the strong shape to the shoulder. All of the exaggerated shapes I feel like he's the master of... I feel like I've just been inspired mostly by the '80s a lot lately, so this was kind of what I wanted to incorporate.' And in July, Doja told V Magazine that her new album, "Vie" - the French word for life - would feature a heavy 80s influence. 'I have so many things that float around in my brain when it comes to the '80s,' she explained. Born in 1995, the Paint the Town Red singer conceded that she has 'no experience of the '80s or any relation to it in that sense,' but this has not deterred her from romanticizing the era. She views the '80s as 'a dream world concept, or dream-core,' and clarified her intent to 'play with that nostalgia by using these Lo-Fi sounds and samples and things that reminded you of something from your childhood, but it wasn't on the nose '80s'.

She submitted a counter notice insisting her videos, which are also available on Instagram and YouTube, are a parody. Sylvanians are marketed as 'an adorable range of distinctive animal characters with charming and beautiful homes and accessories'.
