One of the Bratz

Melbourne Age Jan 7, 2007

It appears that there may still be hope for the future -- if you have the time (and the patience!) to wait for the current crop of tweens to reach maturity.

Apparently the marketeers have decided that the teenager is yesterday's generation, and have shifted their sights to the tweens -- the six to 12-year-olds.  And Barbie and Ken are so, well, last century, and only appeal to the kindergarten set.  The “must haves” for the tweens are the Bratz, and this sample (from an article in the Melbourne Age; Jan 6, 2007) is emphatically corsetted.  So perhaps this generation will grow up to regard corsets as the norm.
