Strawberry, we hardly knew you
For any readers who may have stumbled across this blog who aren't parents, the toy industry tries to make money off of us by re-selling our childhoods to our children.
Recent years have seen the return of Care Bears, Cabbage Patch Kids, and Strawberry Shortcake.
I guess old Strawberry hasn't been earning her share of the market, because she has been refashioned as a pimped out ho-bag.
Okay, so maybe she's still one step away from the vapidity of a Bratz doll. But please, was this necessary?
I don't even have girl children, but I'm weeping for them.

Thank you! Poor Strawberry, she's not the gal she used to be :-(
Oh no, Strawberry! Say it ain't so...
My kids drew all over my Cabbage Patch's face. I guess my e-bay cash cow is over. Oh and Mrs. Beasley too. *sob*
I don't have a problem with the Bratz obviously :) But I do agree, like with Holly Hobbie, Strawberry Shortcake was unique in her oufits and look and now both doll lines have "updated" the styles. I loved the HH Little House on the Prairie look, I liked the "Once Upon A Time" look of SS. I guess if they don't stop making the older styles okay but what a sad loss if they drop what was cute and unique about them. They were different and that what was nice to me.

I'm so sad. Poor Strawberry ... they've taken away her dignity. So sad, really.
Next we'll see SheRa the porn star.
