More on girl toys


and no, not THOSE kind of "girl toys."  If that's what you're Googling for, please unplug your computer and phone your parole officer or clergyman.


Strawberry Shortcake and her friends had hair that smelled like different kinds of fruit.  Did anybody O.D.?  That is a RHETORICAL question, but at the same time, somebody by default, in life, had to do the absolute most Strawberry Shortcake head-smelling ever.  Just a girl (I hope) in her room, all alone.


"My Little Pony" possibly the most boring children's toy ever.  There should have been a bad guy that ate them.





Most VERY little girls have "baby dolls."  Usually more than one, which I have to say is a pretty realistic system.  Some of them can cry and/or wet their pants, but only some.  Not all.

Easy Bake Oven?  Not too useful unless your way-older brother is a pothead.

She-ra?  Lame.  Imagine the marketing decision.  "He-man with a VAGINA."

Every line of BOY action figures has at least one token girl mixed in.  G.I. JOE had "Lady Jaye."  and Baroness.  They should have fought and then started kissing, at least once.  (I suppose we could still make that happen, but who has the time?)

WAY long ago little girls used to have PAPER dolls.  Kids also used to get yelled at for "playing with matches."  Coincidence?
