The Doll That Shaves And Plucks... Dangerous?
Is a teenage werewolf doll who feels the need to constantly shave sending a dangerous message to girls? That's what some are saying. Mattel's line of Monster High dolls features Clawdeen, the 15-year old daughter of a werewolf who has one "Freaky Flaw," crazy hair growth on her legs. As she says, "Plucking and shaving is definitely a full time job but that's a small price to pay for being scarily fabulous.
Here's what some are saying about Clawdeen:
Psychologist on the Today Show:
"When we have these ridiculous models -- sexualized children, and horses with long eyelashes that are flirtatious and all of that -- it sets up this ideal of beauty and body image that kids have to pay attention to because they can't not pay attention to it. And they feel less good as they're trying to develop a good sense about their own bodies."
Mattel is defending Clawdeen by saying they haven't received any complaints, and the doll illustrates diversity, and shows it's OK to be different.
"...she has to shave and wax and pluck between classes. Girls of a certain age know about the embarrassment of unwanted hair in unwanted places."
Yahoo's Shine blog comes back at Mattel:
"Are these people at Mattel nuts? If Clawdeen Wolf and her pals accepted imperfections, she wouldn't have to wax and shave between her classes—she'd be accepted for the hairy werewolf she is! Teaching five year old girls that body hair is embarrassing and that they must obsessively wax their body hair in order to be accepted is pretty screwed up."
Where do you stand? Is this doll sending the wrong message, or are we getting too caught up in nothing?

Did You Know...
...that the British hate kids? Ok, that may be a stretch, but when it comes to travel, Brits don't want kids anywhere around. A new survey of 5,000 travelors found 83% want adult only areas on commercial flights, and 31% went a step further and want to ban kids altogether.
Ok, if we're going down that route, I'd like others banned, including:
-People that stink.
-The guy that jams his headphones so loud that you can't understand why his ears aren't bleeding
-Mrs. "let me tell you why my child's school sucks for the entire flight"
-Old people. Why not? If we're banning the young, let's ban the old.
-The guys that are kicking off their long golfing weekend away from their wives and started drinking long before they got on the flight.
-Can you add one?

The difference between cats and dogs.
A dog thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me... They must be Gods!
A cat thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me... I must be a God!
