Un-Tye Preteens from these Gals

1004287235_c2fff13abf.jpgCheck out this new doll, a TyGirl named Jumpin Jenna. She's the latest novelty for preteen girls. 

Now tell me what my daughter learns from Jenna's bee-stung lips, streaked hair and tight sweater? Does she learn that even if you're six inches tall, you need to be a hot mama?

Back in the day, I had books about Susan B. Anthony and Marie Curie to teach me about role models. Today's pre teens have televsion shows about a "real girl"/rock star.

We just gave up the Bratz dolls -- not into them, says my daughter. However, these aren't any better. They're just more bad stuff for the hugely profitable pre-teen market. 

Give me a doll that both parents and kids can agree upon. There's the gold, folks.
