Look at the horror. This was part of an article on MSN news about ten women in the world who make you want to cringe. Paris Hilton, Caitlin Flanagan, Marabel Morgan and Phyllis Schlafly were among the others. This however seemed to be the most poignant when giving a view point on corruptive and de-modernising female role models.Bratz Dollz
Many mothers worry when their daughters start to play with Barbie. The moms fear that their daughters could develop a skewed sense of body image thanks to Barbie’s unnatural proportions
But for parents worried about that, Barbie’s got nothing on the Bratz Dolls—a big head, skinny body with the lips of Angelina Jolie and overly made-up come-hither eyes. And these are dolls that girls as young as 5 years old want to play with.
For heaven’s sake, girls don’t need dolls that look like streetwalkers. The social and behavioral cues girls get from the sleazy Bratz dolls are far from empowering—at least Barbie has been a doctor and an astronaut.

my 8 year old cousin made me watch the bratz cartoon with her. enough said.
i am so glad that someone else thinks this...my friends little sister is obsessed with bratz and it kind of upsets me that someone as young as 4 or 5 is having this body image and dress sense ideals pressured on them for such a young age.
