I remember hating how my barbies looked. I never noticed their sexuality, but I noticed that they looked all wrong, and not like 'normal' people. I much preferred a later doll I got that was a 50s design (sorry can't remember the name) and was much more like a real girl - normal shaped body, flatter feet, brown hair (!) and so on.
I definitely agree with the statement "the Bratz dolls are trashy, over-sexualized dolls who wear too much makeup" - but the barbie dolls aren't much better. However, because they come in ballgowns or ordinary clothes, kids see them as either princesses or mums, which is the way it should be really. My little sisters (10 and 11) play with bratz, and I can really see how their clothing choices have been affected by these silly dolls that dress like sluts rather than fashion queens.
