One of my favorite things is how she calls us 'Mr. Paul' and Miss Jennifer'. Miss Mara loves the Bratz. You know the Bratz, right? Little whore Barbie-style dolls? They're dreadful. The other day she asked 'Mr. Paul, will you play Bratz with me?' Paul agreed but told her that he did not know how to 'play Bratz'. She explained that you introduce each other and compliment each other (in Bratz voices) etc. Mara wanted more Bratz for Christmas, and she got plenty. So many in fact that she got two 'Yasmin's and she decided to give her second Yasmin to Paul so they could play Bratz together. So, Paul's only Christmas gift this year was a 'Bratz play Sportz, Yasmin Fitness doll'. Love it.

And, since I'm posting pictures, here, have another picture of my babies! I call this 'Both Crammed into the Last Patch of Sunlight in the Computer Room'.

Lol. All the babies here are beautiful.
I have a six year old daughter who wants me to play Bratz too. I get to be Chloe though and I make her wear non sleezy clothes that I steal from Barbie. Yep, my kid'll need therapy for sure one day.
Heh, it makes you wonder. Which is more "harmful" to a developing girl -- trying to achieve the impossible physical perfections of Barbie, or match the utter sluttiness that Bratz is?
The older I get, the more this stuff bothers me, but overall I don't find it that big of a deal (though I think I'd still prefer my kid to have Barbie over Bratz). I think 99% of girls realize it's just "pretend" anyway and don't digest it too much. The 1% who do and end up doing crazy shit like plastic surgery to look like Barbie, etc. were probably kind of fecked up anyway and need help no matter what.
And the dogs are cute, though Smeagol's face is a face only a mother could love!
