Princess Rosela

Much to my surprise the Rosella doll I bought today for my 2 and 4 year old is wearing a thong!.....This is the Island princess doll in the white dress. I just thought it was crazy.... I guess its not a thong but her bottom is barely covered, unlike all the other Barbie's I have seen, who at least wear bikini briefs.

this is the newer style they are making. I don't know why??? I wish they did make little undies for the doll to wear so they weren't naked all over

My five yr old daughter has never shown an interest in dolls- only cars, trains and all her stuffed animal babies! Though I do see the Barbie and Bratz dolls and how sleazy they are dressed. It is just so scary what our children are subjected to with the toys, games and television shows today. I really dread when she gets older and can only hope that the morals and values we instill in her will lead her in the right direction. We can only do our best and pray for the rest.

My daughter is 3 and no way are the Bratz and Barbie the ho that teaches anorexia coming into this house. I still have my Mandy doll from when I was little and I ordered her friends Becky and Jenny online with lots of clothes. She will be playing with them.

What ever happened to dolls being dolls and toys being toys? I'm sure this is offensive, but why does everything that our kids play with have to deliver some sort of message?

It's up to you, the parent, to teach what is right and wrong. Personally, I see nothing wrong with the dolls, my girls learn self-esteem from me and my family.

Sorry, but this is just one of those things that irritates me. Just as you argue that these dolls give your daughters a bad image to try and become, you could also argue that boys who play with dolls will become crossdressers.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
