As a new mom, I assumed it was "*sigh* yet another one of THESE things again." I'm pleased however that that's not the case and there are people like you speaking out about it. I'm not a pollyanna and I'm not naive. Girls do things like this in real life, yes. But to promote it and laud it? Wow. Just wow. Thanks for this.

It's sad and disturbing but not all that surprising. Have you seen the books that they are marketing to girls these days? The ones that talk of nothing but boys, booze, drugs and shopping? Sigh.
