Moxie Girlz

Are they really any better than Barbies?

dd and I can't abide the adverts. So, no.

Ahh, we don't have tv so can only go on what they say on the box. There's a lot of COURAGE and STRENGTH and CONFIDENCE, which is gooood... but they're still skinny dolls with unfeasibly long hair and mini skirts...

But that's why dd would like them I suppose.

still lots of horse riding, dressing glam and the like. Am sure the positive wordings are just there to sucker you in.

yes it's not like they actually have short hair and are wearing dungarees, is it?

dd hasn't discovered Barbies yet but from what I remember of a friend's dd, hers used to spend all their time beating each other up and playing football. The child playing with the doll can project the values they want onto it, end the end, but they can't do anything about the physical appearance of the doll, so all that talk of living life to the full and wanting to be a famous film director is probably a bit pointless really if the doll has waist length hair and a huge pout.

in the end (typo)

Why would the doll (or the girl for that matter) be more likely to be a film director if she had short hair and dungarees?

oh give over, they are definately better than Bratz dolls

Fuck me they're hideous, and that website is just bleurgh.

I think the point is that the dolls all look the same, booboo.

Why do they all have stripper names?

my dd is called Sophina

lol, sorry, that is the most normal name to be fair!

I really don't like that the little girl on the front page has visible makeup.

Just not my cup of tea sorry.

Lexa, Bria & Avery?

all that hair would get in the way on the set BooBoo. And most of the pics I have seen of film directors at work show them (both sexes) wearing jeans.

I have to admit, Avery (who doesn't seem to have a career plan though she is currently head of the rock climbing club) is wearing things that appear to be a cross between dungarees and a corset.

There aren't many jobs you could do with that much hair all over the place. It would be a health and safety hazard even in an office environment (can you imagine if it got caught in the printer?)

of course I am joking, she's called Crystal really

though you could be a Hooters girls I suppose.

oh, ok duh

But little girls looooove long hair. It's like small girl crack.

Every evening when I clean my 4yo's teeth I tell her funny stories about all the things I am scrubbing out of her teeth - we might find squirrels scampering about, a gentleman going for a stroll on her molars, a fossilised dinosaur, some ducks laying eggs, a field of pumpkins ... and one time I mentioned a lawer with really long hair sitting on a bench eating her sandwiches. Dd is obsessed with this woman. how long is her hair? Is it down to her bottom? Is it wavy or curly or straight? Does she have to put it in a ponytail for lawying? Does she have ribbons in it? What colour are the ribbons?

God, I've never heard of them before but they look possibly worse than Barbie! It's the made-up-like-adults faces I really, really don't like.

rofl, I am impressed how much imagination you put into tooth cleaning!
I remember loving my Barbie's long hair. (Until I cut it and discovered it didn't grow back.)

I never liked dolls at all. I wonder what that means...

Or ponies or fairies or dolls houses...

I wonder what the ELC would do with a child like me these days?

I was in there the other say and noticed that all of the "craft" activities are in pink boxes. Is there a rule that boys don't like making things now? Unless it's "proper" carpentry/building stuff? That's pretty shit.
