Well, not quite, but close.
So flashback to the year...2006 maybe? I'd just got accepted into the MA program at GIPIS and we were spending some time before I left with our great great friends Daniel and Christy Hughes. Somehow the talk got on to a perennial topic where Meridth and I are concerned: our mutual hatred of Bratz and Barbie dolls and that whole schtick. (I mean really, big surprise that!) I mentioned in jest that the only way I'd get our kid a Barbie was if she came with a rotary cannon.
Anyway, back to present day when I got done with basic and I finally moved back in with Meridth she presented me with a thoughtful gift from Daniel: this attractive action figure woman armed to the gills. Charming. I let is sit in the box for several months but I finally had to yank it out and have a lookie-loo. Wow! 'Destiny' is as cool as advertised. And I'll bet she can field dress a moose too.
And ah yes...lest I forget there was in fact a Sarah Palin action figure released. True story. I guess it's tapping into her 'bad-girl' 'librarian-gone-naughty' appeal. Yuck.

Uh, yeah. Bratz dolls. Me no likey. Or anything where a "Z" is substituted for an "S". It'z a pet peeve of mine.
Agreed. Anything that is missing a nose and makes up for it having Angelina Jolie lips is a no go.
Blech.
Down with highly sexualized dolls for little girls.
