Thank you for your refreshing common sense
Echhh! Why? Why?
I pasted the article below for your reading enjoyment. :)
Bratz Dollz
Many mothers worry when their daughters start to play with Barbie. The moms fear that their daughters could develop a skewed sense of body image thanks to Barbie’s unnatural proportions.
But for parents worried about that, Barbie’s got nothing on the Bratz Dolls—a big head, skinny body with the lips of Angelina Jolie and overly made-up come-hither eyes. And these are dolls that girls as young as 5 years old want to play with.
For heaven’s sake, girls don’t need dolls that look like streetwalkers. The social and behavioral cues girls get from the sleazy Bratz dolls are far from empowering—at least Barbie has been a doctor and an astronaut.

And I found this picture and thought it was too cute, so I had to share it:
He's a cucumber, not a pickle

i think they are trying to give a more ethnic look to the dolls, but i can't explain the slutty look! I just hate them.. and then there's the name! Bratz.. Why do they have to be called that?? I think we can all agree that we don't want our kids to be brats.. And we don't want them to look like Bratz dolls! lol! They're just dumb! Check out the black Prince Derek in the Barbie aisle! It's hilarious! HE really DOES look like Elvin from the Cosby show!
I love Larry the Cucumber...and I couldn't agree more on the Bratz dolls...they make me sick!
I have said before, "I hate those dolls. I think they are ugly!"
Love you, Aunt Daphne
