My daughter loved Bratz dolls and has several stored away(I don't throw out dolls). When I asked her about them yesterday, she said 'Yea, they're hooker dolls, but by the time I found out what a hooker was, I didn't care about the dolls any more'. I doubt that was the idea behind them, just someone's idea of what a brat would be.
There is NO freakin way I would have allowed her to dress like them; thankfully, she never gave that a thought. In fact, she wrote a pretty damn good essay in 8th grade about how girls immitate the looks of things like Bratz dolls, music video babes, etc. and how those girls were seen by others.
I allow Catherine to make her own choices regarding her appearance; generally, she dresses in black, likes skulls and macabre things on her shirts and straightens her currently-dyed-black hair Morticia Adams style. Thank the gods she's emo!!!!
