The Toys Our Children See
In a post regarding the inappropriate names of a line of Victoria's Secret makeup, a reader brought up the Bratz dolls and how the dolls resemble strippers and prostitutes.
In yesterday's New York Post, Kirsten Powers write about the doll section in FAO Schwarz.

A 4-year-old girl was mesmerized by one of the dolls with the flowing cleavage. Next to her was another doll wearing just a black bra and panties, set on a mini sofa, with legs splayed. The girl's father mindlessly pulled her away, seemingly unconcerned. |
Michelle Malkin picked up the story and has a small photo of the dolls mentioned.
Unfortunately, this is only going to get worse until parents start letting these "toy" companies know these are not the products we want our children seeing in toy stores.

Being a father of two girls aged 7 and 9, I couldn't agree more. Fortunately for us there is the American Girl dolls. Not only are the cute, but they come with a history lesson as well. http://www.americangirl.com/

That's pretty cool. I've heard about this company but never really knew what it was all about. I'll be spreading the word about these toys as a healthy alternative.

It still boggles the mind how a parent could consider buying these (BRATZ) dolls. Of course, my hardest decision right now is what color My Little Pony my daughter needs.
