Polly Pingmold is the lonely wife of Ivan Pingmold. She has never
gotten over being cheated out of going to her high school prom by
a vicious prankster, Long Duck Dong Pontana. Today, she is
obsessed with wearing the pink prom dress that she made and
never got the chance to wear. Some people say this trauma
caused her to be a social outcast since high school. Over the
lonely years, she’s become obsessed with solving the Rubik's
cube - over and over again. It wasn't until she married Ivan two
years ago that she started being accepted by others.
Base Squealey is the obnoxious lead singer of the '80s rock band
called "Hug". Base is known for being a womanizer - even though
most ladies avoid him like the flu. Base, a notorious one-upper,
carries around a mirror and frequently views himself with it.
Believing he is irresistible by doing so, he sings to women rather
than talking.
Melinda Parnile is the tough-hearted front woman of the pop band
‘The No No’s'. Melinda is a notorious compulsive liar and the best
friend of the pop rocker, Cat Fenafar. Melinda adores her little dog
‘Bangles’ more than the people around her. She’s known for being
cold-hearted and insensitive to those around her; however, fame
has its privileges and she’s got more than her share of people in
her inner circle willing to cater to her every need.
Cat Fenafar is an intolerable, high-maintenance pop star. She is
known by Hollywood insiders as being difficult to work with and
extremely demanding. Rumor has it that she once made her
roadies sort out hundreds of green M&M's for her dressing room
with no intentions of eating them. Because of her fame and
success, she gets whatever she wants from her troupe. Cat
Fenafar often forgets that she came from a poverty-stricken
childhood and is the ultimate snoot to everyone around her. Except
Melinda Parnile, of course, who is a dear friend to her.
Ivan Pingmold, the newly hired CEO of Baqua Net Hairspray, is
the organizer for 'Hair Aid' - a fund-raising concert to develop new
techniques in making larger hairstyles – to sell more Baqua Net
Hair Spray! He married Polly Pingmold two years ago after she
settled on a ten-year mental anguish law suit against Long Duck
Dong Pontana, the boy who purposely stood her up as a mean
prank for her senior prom. Ivan used Polly's law suit settlement to
start up his ghost catching business on the side and quickly
catapulted himself to international fame...and often ridicule. He
has a huge flatulence problem and often blames the stench he
makes on the ghosts around him.
Kelly Goobalo is a narcoleptic ballerina who aspires to be a
famous break dancer. Many years ago, while sneaking into
underground break dancing clubs without her parents' knowledge,
she met Turbozone Goobalo and soon after, married him. To no
avail, Turbozone has desperately tried to teach her to become a
break dancer. Kelly cannot seem get the moves right and her
narcolepsy causes her to fall asleep in weird positions during
practice. She has also recently inherited an extensive Mogwai farm
and is known to carry a few around with her since she thinks they
are so cute and cuddly. This might prove to be a fatal mistake one
day if they eat after midnight!

Turbozone Goobalo is famous in the break dancing underground
scene. On the surface, he is a fun-loving party animal but every
move he makes is secretly designed to help raise him to fame and
fortune. He is a compulsive rhymer who is never found without his
Boom Box named ‘Rad’ as he loves to show off his break dancing
skills - especially for people who can wire him into the Hollywood
scene. He despises the fact that his wife inherited what he calls a
‘Gremlin’ farm...Mogwai creep him out.
Bo Pontana is a famous NFL quarterback and three-time Super
Bowl Champion. He prefers not to speak much since he has a bad
stuttering problem and sprays saliva when he talks. Some people
deem this non-communication as antisocial or apathetic, but Bo
actually cares about the social scene. Due to his NFL fame, he is
wired in to the Hollywood network and ladder-climbing schemers
love to befriend him.
Mr. D is the incensed leader of an underground troupe of soldiers
of fortune called the "C Team". Known by Hollywood's finest to be
for hire, the "C Team" can be called upon to solve any problem.
Mr. D is often included on ‘Hollywood's Most Wanted Invite List’,
even though it is well known that he suffers from severe anger
management issues.
Lany Lou Metton is a kleptomaniac Olympic gold medalist
gymnast. She’s no stranger to behavioral therapy, but she still
can’t keep her hands off of things that don’t belong to her. She is
attending this benefit for Baqua Net Hairspray as Bo Pontana's
date. However, her real motive for attending the party is because
she secretly has a major crush on Base Squealey of the band
‘Hug’ and got a hold of
inside information that he will be there. This might be a case of ‘a
love-struck fan turned stalker!’
Jamey Cakker is the most scandalous television evangelist the
‘80s has ever seen! Jamey is currently under investigation and
intensive media coverage for over 10 alleged crimes of adultery,
embezzlement, fraud, illegal gambling and even an Olympic game
scandal. The slimy evangelist won't stop at anything to get what he
wants, even if it harms those closest to him or lands his mug on
the front page of the trash tabloids.
Fammy Taye Cakker is the wife of TV Evangelist Jamey Cakker.
She is the head of the Cat Fenafar fan club and is a compulsive
gambler. She has a lacrimal gland dysfunction and her eyes
constantly water and streak mascara down her heavily made-up
face. Some say she streams tears for sympathy because her
husband is dealing with multiple scandals in the media.

Hannah Shell is an insanely crazed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
fan and the fanatical President and founder of the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtle Fan Club. She stops at nothing to get new members

Turtles!

the ‘it’ item to buy.
