I did some grocery shopping today (more ingredients for cookies, mostly) and walked all the way around the WalMart (good traction, climate control, total lack of snow) while I was out. Jeans aren't quite comfortable yet -- I changed back into sweats as soon as I got home again.

Is it just me, or do the Bratz dolls look kind of tarty? I generally avoid the toy aisles of the WalMart because I don't buy that shit, but since I was trying to get in a sufficient amount of walking, I wandered through.

Glad you resisted. They have music videos? This is for their table-dancing gigs, right?

It was seriously the most awful, generic, poorly-animateed..... I don't even know. I can't summon a memory of more than like a couple frames, or the music, but it was baaaaaaad. I mean...ok, I remember when I was little, my sister had this barbie that came with a cassette of songs, so it's not like this is a new thing. But WHY? And, Barbie is hoochietastic enough for me--why does some company think that America needs prepubescent dolls slutting it up? I get that middle schoolers think they are hot stuff, but that adults are buying into this instead of going "oh, that's so cute, now put on some pants" is baffling.

So in essence: Yes....and it is even worse than I imagined.
