Looks like Strawberry Shortcake and Dora the Explorer both hired the same stylist. Wow. This chick is a far cry from the Strawberry Shortcake I played with until she no longer smelled of Strawberries. I was a little old for Dora, but what I know of her involved a chubby belly and little yellow crew socks- not leggings and a baby doll top.
Strawberry was probably due for a makeover-- what 30-something girl couldn’t use a haircut and a new outfit? I must admit that these new dolls are super cute, but I’m not sure why they were redesigned. Was there a Revolt-by-3-year-old incident I didn’t hear about?
Were the makers just keeping their products current and growing with thier clients, or succumbing to the sexy-little-girl epidemic (most obviously illustrated by Halloween costumes)? What do you think?
