They weren't allowed here either. I also think that Bratz crossed a line that Barbie didn’t. They weren’t allowed here either.

Those dolls were the stiff incarnation of far too many girls I see in class, on the street, in the store not reaching for them any more. If the idea of a doll is to have something to care for and to interact with in quiet moments, then why not have a doll that looks like mommy and big sister? Not everyone can relate to the saccharine sweetness of the American Girls dolls, with their wholesome accompanying books, or even Barbies with their implicit message of perfection to be attained. A doll, I think what counts is how the girl interacts with it, and not its tattoos or outfits. Bratz, I guess the name says it all.

"But they're gone now?" "As of 2009 they are." "Good. I don't have to add them to my things to worry about list."
