But it's not right for six and seven year olds to want to be sexy.

Oh no, probably not. I just think it's sad they're just...ending it. You know?

However, I think part of it is that with the inclusion of that, with the ending, it almost makes it seem like they're going to focus more on the whole sexy thing.

It's like those horrible Bratz dolls. Those are messed up good lord.

I get the draw towards super heroes and stuff but no more princesses? That's just kind of encouraging girls to focus more on being hot and cool.
