1. How glad am I that my daughter no longer plays with dolls when this is

what the market has to offer? Remember when Barbie came in a swimsuit and you bought different outfits to dress them in?

4. Greatest natural resource=Greatest market potential

The toy industry has kids read. Kids are so manipulated-watch Saturday morning TV and see what I mean. I would've liked to have been in on that meeting when they brainstormed this idea.

They look normal for today, and have finally left the 1950's behind.

8. ok. I'm old.

I think the clothes kids wear today are really, really ugly. And I never thought I'd say this because I have some definate feminist leanings, but I'm a girl and I like pretty things. I rarely see a young girl wearing something just plain pretty anymore.

7. In fairness, the "Flavas" do have some token black friends

Hang with Tre, Tika, and Kiyoni to get yoself some street cred:
