Does anyone out there actually allow their children to play with these dolls? Presumably they must, because I think the sales of these things are through the roof.
Look, I may not know whether or not I do or don't want kids, but here's what I do know:
If we do have children, they will not be allowed to play with these dolls.
Anything that compels our prospective children to aspire to be hookers is simply not okay.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy wearing lipstick and heels, but I'm not 8 years old.
And is it just me, or are all of these things practically carbon copies of each other, with barely perceptible variations on skin, hair, and gloss color.
The fact that these things are called Bratz, (spelled with a z mind you), is an even bigger turnoff.
I'm gonna keep this one short and sweet. I frickin' HATE these things.
Madeline the girlie girl...who you have met. WILL NOT HAVE ONE OF THESE DOLLS!!! I may have to give in to Zach on his Justin Bieber Hair... But, I do not have to have the doll in my house.
ReplyDeleteFor awhile they were being discontinued due to a lawsuit between Mattel and MGA. However, a higher court changed it and Bratz are back in production. They are rumored to have a new look...but I think I'll hate the new look just as much as the old one.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter will own a Bratz the same day she wears pants with writing on the butt. Which will be never.

What Stacy said. These dolls are vile. My kids have never had one, ever. My SIL got pissy with me one Christmas because I let them all know they were not allowed in my home.
ReplyDeleteHee hee - Stacy I second the writing on the butt. That's an absolute no no as well.
ReplyDeleteGiraffy - vile is a great way to put it.
And um, anonymous - do not cave to the Justin Bieber hair. Please don't do it. I can't bear it. I just can't. If you absolutely must, fine, but don't invite me over until he's passed that phase.
Blech -- I'm lucky: my girl is not into that stuff (she's 9). She already rejected Barbie on her own and has recently announced she will no longer be wearing pink.
ReplyDeleteYep, yep, yep. No Bratz in my house. Gross.
