A description of my blog. http://www.my-site.com 6629500540606733994 Take This, Bratz™! 2007/02/#6629500540606733994 2007-02-03

When I was a kid, little girls played with the likes of Holly Hobbie™ and Strawberry Shortcake™. Today such wholesome characters have been replaced by edgier models. Dolls today -- or should I say "action figures," as in "G.I. Joe™ went into town looking for some...." Anyway, dolls today need to have attitude. They need to be a little naughty and dangerous to interest the future skanks of the world. At the forefront of the revolution are the Bratz™ girls (or is that grrlz?), who bare their midriffs, sport gaudy jewelry and wear more makeup than Lon Chaney at a Gwen Stefani concert.

Not to be outdone, Mattel has recently upped the ante with their latest line of Barbie™ dolls. Coming soon to a Wal-Mart near you, it's:

Crack Whore Barbie™!



And no, this probably wasn't worth the amount of time I spent on it. In case you want to admire my mad photoshopping skeels, here's the original image.

In other news, you may have noticed that I've killed the Dispatches. They will be returning in a slightly different format shortly. If I can wrassle Blogger into submission.

I'll be finishing The Kite Runner this weekend. I'll post my thoughts at Central Booking tomorrow. Next up: Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstader suggested by Wolfe from Wolfe's Musings.
