04.01.2006 || NEW SOTM + RARE IMAGES
       Era | + Posted at 08:54AM +

Firstly, i'd like to announce that we have a new Site Of the Month! I have chosen MALESE JOW ONLINE as Refreshing Aly's SOTM becauese of the generous contributions that it's webmistress Ayame' has done to Refreshing and of course, for having an awesome Malese Jow fansite that has the latest and current updates of it's star, Malese Jow!
So do visit their site and check them out! I have made them our top affiliate too. ^_^






On another note, i have found three very rare images of Alyson with Missy Elliot. The last two were a continuation from a previous post that i made where Alyson was carried by Missy onstage whilst accepting an award for favourite Music video or sth. The first one was of Alyson in 2003 dancing alongside Missy at some award show. I think that was the first ever ALyson Appearance on stage! You can spot her on the right side of the image in case some can't spot her. ^_^





Thanks to Ayame' and Flora, now i have tons of HQ images that i can share with you guys! So maybe, i'll make it a twice in a month HQ giveway so check back often! And thanks so much for visiting Refreshing Aly!

To kick things off with the new year, I will be opening the HQ Photo Gallery today!

Check out the gallery by clicking on the banner below!



Do tell me whether you would like to continue to see more HQ images, cos' if there's no one who likes them, then i'll just have to close that HQ gallery then. ^_^

By the way, does anyone out there ever had an ALyson autograph emailed or signed to you exclusively by ALyson before?? If you do have one (or more), and would like to share with the rest of ALyson Fans, please do send them to me and i'll fully credit you for them. I'll be creating an Autographs section if many of you do send in yours. Thanks in advance!


And that's about it for now! Enjoy your New Year's Day! =)

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! Yup, it's already December 31st here in this part of the world!

I've got a rare backstage pictures of Alyson with Missy Elliot, Timberland and some other people at the VMAs! Again, they're tagged but worth a look. ^_^

    30.12.2005 || CBTD2 CLIMBS TO NO.3 ON BOXOFFICE
       Era | + Posted at 9:02PM +

Cheaper by the dozen 2 has climbed up the ranks of the box office ladder to land itself on the former No. 3 spot of Fun with Dick and Jane's comedy movie. Eventhough it has suffered under the harsh critisms of movie critics, fans proved that a bit of laughter can never hurt anybody, and kids want to see CBTD2 irregardless of what adults want.

To check the full box office rankings chart (for those who cared for these kind of things), you can visit BOXOFFICE MOJO.

I have yet to see the movie cos' it comes out January 29th where i come from,but i'm just glad that Alyson fans enjpyed the movie. With all the positive reviews praising Alyson of her performance in the movie, we can only hope that her career begins to fully blossom once people see the talent that she has, besides dancing of course! ^_^


On the site updates, you can see that there's a new banner on top. Well, i've also included a new service where you can send Alyson themed e-cards to your friends! Just click the banner to choose the images that you'd like to use and customize your own e-greetings. It's an add-on courtesy of Bravenet.

    30.12.2005 || CBTD2 PREMIERE PICS + EXCLUSIVE
       Era | Posted at 9:02AM +

Firstly, i'd like to say thanks to the few who commented on the previous post. ^_^ Their comments meant a lot to me cos' at least i know that there are at least some people who visit this site. The state of this site, whether it's going to be temporary or permanent will depend on whether i will have time in the future to maintain this site. But in the meantime, i shall continue to update regularly with alyson pics and news! =)


Moving on, i've found a few new angles of ALyson at the Cheaper by the dozen 2 premiere, though as always, they're tagged, but still viewable. I wish i could get a Wireimage account, but i don't like online payments.




And also thanks to a poster at AF.NET forums, there's a rare photo of ALyson in her basketball gear (i think).



That's about it for today! It's one more day to the new year of 2006!!! Let's hope next year would be a bigger year for ALyson! I've also changed the picture above to celebrate the upcoming new year. Feel free to take it if you like. But please, no HOTLINKING! ^_^

    29.12.2005 || JAMMX PICS + NOTICE
       Era | Posted at 5:51PM +

I've gotten a few pics of the Jammx Kids at the PS ARTS event with Randy Jackson. This event was held a few months ago i think, so, even though it's not new, the images are kinda new to some. They're tagged by the way, since' i couldn't find untagged versions. So if anyone can find other images, please send it in to me. You'll receive fuul credit for them ^_^



On another note, i've found out that some people have been hotlinking images from this site and my Graphics site (ERA_STYLE) and as a result, my bandwidth might be stretched too thin. I appeal to all of you to please stop copying the url's and image codes from those images and directly placing them on your sites or send them out in emails. That eats up the image bandwidth and will result in red crosses if other people want to view the images from my site. Please also do not do the same for any other website on this internet. If you want, you can save the image and upload them onto a free host. Still confused, visit this site to know all about hotlinking. I seek your coorperation.

If this continues to happen, looks like this site and my other graphic site will have to close shop. :(

    27.12.2005 || CBTD2 RANKINGS & SITE UPDATES
       Era | Posted at 10:44PM +

I'm not sure whether you guys are interested in how well CBTD2 is doing at the box office, but i figure, what the heck. It's for your information. CBTD2 came in fourth after Dick and Jane but higher than The Family Stone, though i'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not. Nevertheless, who cares whether the movie does well or not, as long as the fans enjoy it! ^_^


On another note, there's not much news or new images for now, since' i just got back from my holiday trip. Nevertheless, i've changed the Picture of the week (or month maybe),added new affiliates to the site, including a top affiliate, TOTALLY HILARY so go ahead and check it out!

Until later. ^_^

    25.12.2005 || ALYSON IN TIME FOR KIDS
       Era | Posted at 1:28AM +

Alyson was featured in a new interview by TIME FOR KIDS where there's also a new picture of her from Cheaper By the dozen 2!




Here's a snippet of the interview.
TFK: What was your biggest challenge in preparing for the role?

Alyson: Everyone expects me to be a tomboy. In the movie, I?m more mature, so I had to get ready to have my first kiss on screen. It was difficult not to be nervous.



TFK: In addition to starring in movies, what other show business experiences have you had?

Alyson: I?ve been involved in many things like the Missy Elliott music videos and the Disney Channel?s Mike?s Super Short Show. I?m a spokesperson for NetSmartz, a website that promotes Internet safety for children of all ages. JammX Kids is another one of my projects. It?s a group of young actors that sings and dances to encourage youth to stay healthy and fit.

    24.12.2005 || MSSS UPDATES + NEW LAYOUT
       Era | Posted at 9:28PM +

NEW LAYOUT!! How do you like it??? I initally intended to revamp the site after X'mas day, but since i'll be going off on a holiday this Monday, i've decided to revamp the site now so at least i won't need to take time when i come home from my holiday.


On another note, there's a new MSSS out on tv so for those who have Disney CHannel, hopefully you can catch a glimpse of ALyson hosting for the newest released DVD, Emperors New Groove. For those without Disney channel, you can catch the clip at the MSSS OFFICIAL SITE! Alyson looks really pretty with her hair down. Here's a few screen shots from the site.



Happy Holidays everyone!!! Oh, and check out the newest SITE OF THE MONTH!.

    24.12.2005 || ALYSON IN ARTICLES + PREMIERE CLIP
       Era | Posted at 6:39AM +

Happy X'Mas Eve everyone!!! Well, it's already 24th December where i lived, so it's quite appropriate. ^_^

There are no new images to share today, cos' i haven't looked for it, but if anyone finds any exclusive or rare images, feel free to send it in! You'll get full credit of course.

Anyways, i've got a truckload of reviews of the movie CBTD2 and whilst the critics have a negative pov of the movie, i'm glad fans still enjoys it. Come on, it's a family movie so it's supposed to be fun and laughter, not serious and one thats aiming for an Oscar or anything. Nevertheless, Alyson rocks in the movie, since a lot of critics did mention her performance. Below are some snippets.There are a lot more on the web, but these few says something commendable of ALyson.


OC WEEKLY - Near the beginning of Cheaper by the Dozen 2, Steve Martin?s character is urged by his wife (played by Bonnie Hunt) to change outfits?to which he responds: ?Every dad is entitled to one hideous shirt.? Perhaps, but is every successful family comedy entitled to one hideous sequel? In contrast to many overproduced sequels (like, say, Father of the Bride Part II), CBTD 2 never becomes outright embarrassing or offensive; the story of the supersize Baker clan?s trip to Lake Winnetka and their rivalry with the Murtaugh family is simply a choppy collection of stagy slapstick set pieces and ersatz Kodak moments. Every scene ends with someone either falling into the lake or learning a ?valuable life lesson.? What keeps the film afloat (barely) is the sheer charisma of Eugene Levy (as the Murtaugh paterfamilias) and the young Alyson Stoner (as Sarah Baker, a tomboy in the midst of her first crush), who manage to find emotion and laughs in the tritest of dialogue and the flimsiest of scenarios. The movie may play better on video screens in the back of minivans, but I suspect even seat-belted children will remain unimpressed. (James C. Taylor) (Countywide) - Read article here.



AZCENTRAL- The kids are nicely played, especially young Alyson Stoner, who gives a sweet, spunky performance as adolescent Sarah. Tom Welling (TV's Smallville) is fine as the kind of big brother every kid dreams about. - Read article here.



PHILLY- The Bakers' tomboyish Sarah, played by the winning Alyson Stoner, is discovering boys, a Murtaugh boy to be precise.. - Read article here.


I've also found another video clip from the CBTD2 Premiere where you can see Alyson on the red carpet. They interviewed Hilary, Bonnie, Eugene and Steve, but none of the younger cast. Nevertheless, it's still a fine clip to watch! Jacob Smith fans can also spot him in the background!

Edit:Woops! Sorry, for got to give you the link.
You can watch it here or access it through here.

    23.12.2005 || NEW CBTD 2 POSTER

You can view the poster below. I've got a larger scan, but if i won't post it unless someone request for the huge version.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us
Anyways, since the movie is already out, i'm sure some of you have seen it in theatres. I'm collecting reviews of the movie from fans themselves and i'll put it up on the site for others to read! So, if you would like to share with us your reviews of the movie, do send it in to alysonraestoner@gmail.com with your name (or pseudonyme/alias) and i'll put it up! I'll be revamping the site after christmas so keep a look out for it! ^_^


On another note, i've found this exclusive behind the scenes pictures but although they're not of Alyson, it's worth a look! There's one image of Eugene Levy posing beside President G. Bush! Hahaha...but they're photoshopped of course. Not by me though.
