That's not true, they teach us to be true to ourselves and wear what we want to wear! Not all girls want to dress like Bratz! I love Bratz! I'm a huge collector and I don't dress like them...in fact I've never seen someone dressed like them except maybe on halloween....I have yet to see that though! And hello Barbies are the ones that have the outrageous bodies!! Their toothpicks! Their just dolls, I don't think anyone wants to dress like a doll!! By the way...Barbies are designed after a T.V. prostitute! ♥always&&forever. Listen here,

I am a nine year old girl and I think that they are wastes of money and space, they she be disallowed in every household. They are teaching kids like me to cover up there true self with tons of glossy make-up and horrible clothes. They are teaching little girls to not show who they trueley are! I despise them from every aspect! Eww! I am a nine year old girl and I think that they are wastes of money and space, they she be disallowed in every household.

If the dolls only embody negative stereotypes, they're not improving the representation of women of color by including them. They're really just saying all girls - white, black, hispanic - are vapid "My Sweet Sixteen" consumer hoarding idiots.

But that's the only upside of them that I can see... On the positive side Bratz are slightly more varied in terms of skin-colour. But that’s the only upside of them that I can see…

These disgusting dolls send the message that little girls are really just sexually-charged young women in children’s bodies, ready for action, and have nothing in their brain other than shopping & behaving like a diva, with no aspirations, no dreams.

I'm glad to say that I stood my ground in refusing to purchase any Bratz-related garbage for my daughter, despite her crying pleas that all her friends have them. When I first saw these things, I had an image of a blow-up doll in my head. These disgusting dolls send the message that little girls are really just sexually-charged young women in children's bodies, ready for action, and have nothing in their brain other than shopping & behaving like a diva, with no aspirations, no dreams. Vapid little airheads. They have nothing that any child, any teenager, any young woman can relate to. I love dolls, I played with Barbies til I was....well, old enough not to be playing with them anymore....but at least with Barbie, she had a goodness about her image, she had qualities, you could play & create a world that was similar to yours, and she always seemed to have a job or career, she was doing things. In other words, you could create and imagine anything you wanted with Barbie. With these Bratz porn-star look-a-likes, there is nothing remotely connected to the lives and dreams of young girls, their personnalities are fixed as spoiled brats with attitude who wear impossible outfits and shop while talking on their cell phones. Well-written post (as usual).....love your blog. Chantal :) The scariest part is that these monstrosities are marketed to under 10-year-olds.
