For kindergarten?
On the show today, we talked about the toy choices available out there for girls and how a lot of them are...how can I put this? Skanky.
My husband has declared a moratorium on Bratz in our home. We'll see how long that lasts. In the meantime, I decided to try to find some clothes for my daughter's Barbie doll (given to her by a classmate last Christmas; I gritted my teeth and said "thank you"). My goal? The least skanky possible outfits.
The pickings were slim. Here's what I came up with.
At first the outfit on the right seemed great—a long-sleeved top, long pants. Hooray! Then I saw the shoes. Platform boots with a heel that would be four to five inches on a real human being.
Next up....
Not safe for recess.
The other outfit was a little pink for my taste and I wasn't thrilled with the halter top, but I thought it was OK. Then I saw the shoes. Strappy, pink sandals with a heel that would also be four to five inches on a real human being. I showed the outfit to Alison this morning and she immediately exclaimed, "Eww, look at the fishnets!" I hadn't even noticed. Sigh.
