I pray I can keep them out of our house if we have a girl,and they are still popular, or just any toy that lends girls to have a horrible body image to start their teenage years with.

(Ugh, I so hate that I can now refer to life in "years ago" terms!) I despised them and she loved them. I tolerated them for awhile but at every opportunity I spoke with her about how inappropriately they were dressed, too much make-up, etc. Finally one day I was able to make them "disappear" without her even giving a second thought to them! And while I agree Barbie "looks" better compared to Bratz dolls, our home is still Barbie <i>doll</i> and all Bratz parenphenalia free. (I do let Sweetpea have the Barbie movies. They are actually nice movies with all kinds of classical music and moral story lines.) Sweetpea got some of those Bratz dolls in McD’s happy meals a few years ago.

(It is so odd though! They do look more like they are going to turn tricks on corners than say, um, be astronauts and teachers and vetrinarians....)
