Bratz dolls?

Question

The more I see them advertise Bratz the more upset I get.I feel our influence on tweens is already big enough,why do we have to introduce a doll such as this?It is a parents responsibility to teach children "this is a doll,not real life.And you will not dress like your doll."But MANY parents won't teach their children this and this is what upsets me.

I hate how the dolls emphisizes their small waist,big lips,makeup,scantily clad dress and high heels.Not to mention their advertising does nothing but advertise materalistic tendacies (Bratz diamonds?)

Maybe I am just an old geezer(19years going on 30)but barbie is a classic.There is a doctor barbie,holywood barbie,and every barbie you can imagine!They come in all colors and ethnicities!Yes you can dress barbie in a nice litte half shirt and short skirt,but barbie is not marketed that way.

I would not buy this doll for my child.I can teach them proper ways of acting without having a doll that contradicted everything I am teching them.

Answer 1

i totally agree  they are weird and stupid

Answer 2

not at all there just trying to get the girl to have more sence in fashion

Answer 3

I'm 100% with you! I always had Barbies, never Bratz because my mother felt the same way. She didn't want me to grow up thinking I have to look like that and I am thankful for that. It is sad that people think to get others to buy their doll they have to make it "fashionable", that is if you call "fashionable" dressing like a hooker. =|

Answer 4

I completely agree!
