Peaches and Cream Barbie FTW! That dress was awesome! And my Barbies made excellent cat toys. Ken was the evil oppressor against the My Little Pony/Care Bear/She Ra rebellion.

I see your point with Barbie. And really, I'm more terrified of Bratz dolls than anything. I think it's just a matter of being a parent who also provides an outside voice to counteract media messages.
