And when Abercrombie and Fitch marketed thong underwear for little girls I thought that was so irresponsible!  And a pedophiles dream.
My granddaughter turned ten two days ago, but wants to look much older. There is far too much out there for them to emulate that I consider too much and it is getting worse by the day. I am so thankful to not be raising kids. It is stressful enough for me to watch my grandchildren dealing with all of the stuff that is constantly shoved in their faces on television, movies and games. I am so sick of viagra ads on tv that I could croak.
But.... back to the dolls....I would never watch those killer/possessed type doll movies. They were far too freaky for me too! But those that look like babies...I just love babies!! So I just love those dolls.

I dont hate you for that! LOL! As a matter of fact, I hated barbie as a girl. I remember my grandma got me one for my birthday and I had to pretend I liked it because I didnt want to hurt her feelings. I didnt want to play with a grown woman!! I wanted babies!!
I refuse to step foot into Abercrombie because of their sexual marketing. For my kids or myself.
