What's Up With Fashion Dolls?

By Doug Taves


If you've read any of my previous articles you know that I'm just a guy who has a website that features dolls. No, I'm not into dolls. I just like internet marketing and I discovered this to be a good, but untapped niche in online marketing. And, because I don't want to pretend to be something that I'm not, I write articles about dolls from my point of view; a man who has learned quite a lot about dolls, giving advice to others who know less than I do.

Today I want to talk about fashion dolls. I'm choosing these dolls because I just wrote a page for my site on the subject and I was a little appalled. The subject is Monster High Dolls. Just like any doll category, I find the dolls that can be marketed, create a store section for them, and then research the doll so I can write an article about them. When I looked at the dolls, I had two initial thoughts. First, that they reminded me of Bratz Dolls and second, they look like young ladies who use Halloween as an excuse to dress like a slut.

Lets first examine the category of fashion dolls. Be definition, fashion dolls are those that are intended to be dressed to reflect fashion trends. This by nature is not a problem. In fact, Barbie dolls are fashion dolls. I realize than many people take issue with the bodies of some of these dolls, but at least they have some class. But, some of these modern dolls are introducing young girls to a style of dress that most dads wouldn't approve of.

These dolls are unbelievable! You know the type; they look like young girls that have been pushed into prostitution. They put on lots of makeup, wear skimpy clothes and high heels. Trust me, if you saw your daughter dressed like this you would flip. Bratz dolls are the standard for this and they are disgusting.

My first thought is to be upset with the manufacturers, but then again, if parents weren't buying these items, then no one would make them. So parents, what's the deal? Do you really ant your little girls wanting to modelling this behavior? Please stop buying these kinds of products so they go away.
