Barbie has been an American icon for 50 years. She does it all, she been a veterinarian, a pilot, a doctor, and many other things. But did Barbie get challenged when other female toys such as Bratz came out? Bratz were dolls made with more chic, pop almost made to stand out.They 
wear skimpy modern clothes. They also wear entirely to much make-up. Barbie was constructed to have permanent high heeled feet and people thought that was to stereotypical for Barbie to always have heels on. But the Bratz dolls have different shoes that snap on. Now I don't know about you but I don't like wearing shoes all the time but Bratz have no choice, they either wear shoes or have nub ankles. At least having Barbie feet is more realistic then having snap on shoes! Bratz also never had the type of success Barbie did. If Barbie was a real person she would be a very w
ell raised successful person. Bratz on the other hand are not so successful. They are always portrayed as the partiers. They never have doctor Bratz, its always rock roll Bratz or fashion show Bratz. Bratz are the type of dolls that encourage girls that its OK to wear ten tons of make up and to dress like street walkers.Bratz are portrayed as ungoal orientated uneducated asperationsless females. It all about beauty to them. Barbie was also know to have a family 
and a male caller. Nothing ever happens between Barbie and Ken because of Barbies fierce Independence but at least she had family members and an education and actual jobs that are realistic. Lots of people complain about Barbies unrealistic body proportions well have you looked at a Bratz doll lately? I would so rather have Barbie's body. Bratz are created with barely any breast and she it always wearing something skin tight and revealing. Bratz have no curve or figure, they are built like an 11 year old girl. So in reality if Bratz were really 11 and i was her mother, oh i would be pissed. I would have a low life daughter that wears to much make-up that dresses like a slut and is either a rock star or a model, yeah no thank you. Bratz to be should be considered the black sheep of girls toys.

In My Opinion Barbie Wins!!!
What I can appreciate about the Bratz is that their features look like a cartoon character. Unlike Barbie the Bratz are distorted for a reason(I hope),they are dolls they should like something of a fictitious nature.
ReplyDeleteEver since bratz dolls came out, I have utterly dispised the idea of them. Like you said, they are basically low life tramps. They teach little girls that it is ok to be stuck up, selfish, dependent on others, lazy, and slutty. The first time I ever saw a bratz commercial I was enraged! because why should a young girl play with a toy, where in the commercials its shown that all they care about is hooking up with boys!! I was never much of a doll kid growing up, But I agree, Barbie has this one in the bag.
ReplyDeleteYes, Barbie wins for me as well. I really like that Barbie has lots of professions. I think that in a way, Barbie tells girls that they can be anything that they put their minds to. But Bratz just tell girls that they don't need to do anything other than look good, party, and hang out with boys.
