In a newspaper recently I saw a most upsetting article. Bratz was pulled from the scholastic book catalogs. The reason was that their were complaints that the dolls are apperently too skimpy in their cloths. The examples in the pictures they showed had nothing to backup their reports. Honestly, a white strapless thigh length dress is nothing to fret about. I've seen many wedding dresses like it. The rest of the Bratz on the covers were dressed like any other trendy girl. Shirt and jeans. OOOO how scandelous.
I had an interesting debate with my mom inlaw. And of course because she's a conservative christian who hasn't raised any daughters, she thought that the Bratz are not good roll models. Even though she has bought candra Bratz dolls.
So, let me clear up some exaggerated misconceptions. If you really pay attention and watch the movies and the shows and read the books you'll see their clothes are all about a sense of modern fashion. And, yes, it can seem a bit skimpy to those who are not used to the fashion world. Barbie was no better a doll, either. She had a few moments herself, what with that chest that stuck out so far.
The stories in bratz is all about friendship and accomplishing your dream. These are teen girls who make it far by using their talents whenever they get a chance. The own their own magazine and rock band, for heavens sake. I guess thats not the ideal jobs parents want for their kids.
I let my daughter play with dolls and havent had any issues. She is six. She loves to sing along to the songs and play fashion games and pet care games on the computer all having to do with Bratz. I do NOT believe for a second she is being sexually exploited in anyway. She dresses normal. Has a sense of taste in fashion that does not rely on brand names. She is actively fit. And loves to make friends. This is what the Bratz are trying encourage. I have not once seen anything pertaining to sex or the like. It's rediculous what people will do when they have insecurities to the point they are jealous of a doll.
I fully support Bratz. Apperently I'm the only one
