Are Bratz Trashy?

There seems to be a strong set of individuals who feel as though the Bratz girls are a bit, ahem, trashy. The group I refer to are frequent visitors on a Bratz game website, and don’t seem to mind the games, but are a bit concerned about the morality of the Bratz dolls. By that I mean they are flat out calling the dolls skanky.

The primary focus was on the Bratz Halloween costumes. It seems that there is a Halloween costume available for the dolls that is very reminiscent of the Playboy Bunny. Does having this costume make the dolls trashy? It’s up to you.

Some feel that any doll designed for children should reflect a high set of morals. Others feel like the costume is just the same as the ones you see in costume shops and party stores around that time of year. It’s hard to say whether a single costume makes the girls a bit skanky, but there is always an option available to those who’d like to play with the dolls. If you’re concerned about the morality of your own Bratz games, simply opt for the angel or pumpkin costume instead.

Bratz Games Are Too Much For Some

There is a line drawn in the proverbial sand of cyberspace. While many love Bratz games and don’t mind that the dolls seem to be a bit too sexy for the younger crowd, others are starting to boycott the games because they don’t think the games are exactly suitable for all audiences.

Boycotts!
Every now and again a concerned group will start a protest of one kind or another regarding a certain manner of game, clothing brand, or food store. In this case, the Bratz games are being targeted by those who don’t like the message they believe the dolls are sending. In their eyes, the dolls are too sexy for young audiences and this makes Bratz games an inappropriate toy.

Too Much?
The only problem with the boycott is that for every individual who is not playing Bratz games, there are plenty more who love to dress up the sultry little dolls in cute, urban gear. Are the dolls too much? That’s hard to say. Personally, I think the dolls are fine for older girls who love real fashion. If a parent thinks the dolls are too much, don’t buy them. It seems it should be as simple as that.

Bratz Games Romance

One of the best parts of playing Bratz games is that you can match up the adorably stylish Bratz dolls with their Bratz Boys. Sure there are supposed to be actual matches, but many girls enjoy making more complicated scenarios for their dolls to enjoy romantically. Some of the favorites include:

The Bratz Love Triangle
Cloe loves Cameron, or at least likes him a lot. But Cameron is completely oblivious to this because he secretly longs to be with Yasmin. Yasmin is, naturally, obsessed with Eitan who really likes Sasha. The drama you create is outrageous, but that’s just the start of the fun when you get to create fights over the boys and turn friends against each other over the love of a man. But hey, it’s just like real life!

The Perfect Romance
As much fun as it can be to twist all the romances into a giant mess, it’s also fun to make two of your Bratz dolls fall desperately in love with each other. The two become an exclusive item and their fashion sense propels them to the mall on the weekends and the prom every chance you get.

Why We Should All Be Bratz

I’ll admit that I have a certain longing to be a Bratz doll from time to time. No, I’m not just dying to become a small plastic creation with great hair, I just want to live out the ideal, fabulous life that I usually give my own dolls during various Bratz games. If I were a Bratz doll, I’d:

Be wonderfully fashionable. Have you ever noticed your Bratz doll not decked out in something great? The fashions for the dolls are always trendy and cute, and if I had my way, my closet would be full of coordinated outfits especially designed to make me look like I pulled them together at the last minute.

Have great hair. Bratz always have good hair. I’d love to have the chance to brush my hair once a day instead of once an hour to keep it looking good, but until I grow plastic strands, I believe I’m stuck with what I have.

Be part of an awesome pack of friends. The Bratz group would be so much fun to be part of. The girls have a good time shopping, talking and catching up. Of course, my friends now are fun, but maybe we can all become Bratz together to take advantage of a near perfect existence.

What’s So Hot with Bratz Games?

Bratz games get plenty of people hot under the collar – why? Because the Bratz girls are, well, a bit hot. Bratz dolls are designed to be attractive with their big lips and even bigger eyes. They dress in a sexy way and look very hip and urban.

This makes a lot of people uncomfortable – why? Because they are uncertain about whether or not they want their children playing with the dolls. This means, that Bratz games are too hot for some audiences.

Is it true?

It’s up to you. It’s definitely true that Bratz games are a bit edgier than Barbie and her friends. The Bratz wear clothing that’s a little bit tighter and low cut than more traditional fashion dolls, but that’s the style today. In fact, if you dressed as well as your Bratz dolls, you’d be doing a great job in the fashion department.

So what do we do about the dolls and games that are too hot for younger audiences? I’m sure the experts have many different ideas on the topic. As far as I’m concerned, give them Barbies to play with and leave the good games to the more experienced girls of the world.

Three More Reasons to Love Bratz Games

Think you know Bratz? Bratz games are definitely fun and they are a great way to spend time with your favorite characters, but now there are even more great reasons to love your Bratz games.

1.Bratz games are even more controversial. With the recent lawsuit, the future of the Bratz dolls and Bratz games are up in the air. This makes the games a bit scandalous, and that makes things just a bit more fun. After all, who doesn’t love a bit of adventure.

2.Bratz games are constantly changing. There is always something new and different out there on the web. It’s rare to find two of the same Bratz game, so you should always be on the lookout for what’s new and exciting – every time you’re online. You never know what you’ll find – Baby Bratz, Bratz Boys, or just the original Bratz ready for a fashion makeover.

3.Bratz games are fun to share. Now you can share your fun even more easily. Simply email the games to a friend, and then play together while sending each other different versions of the same doll or totally different creations.

Bratz Games Under Attack

Bratz games have always been under attack it would seem thanks to pouty mouths and skimpy outfits, but sometimes competition is a bit painful – at least for Barbie. She’s been alone in the fashion doll kingdom for eons it seems when a pack of urban fashionistas shows up to give her a hard time.

Unfortunately for the Bratz, Barbie knows how to fight back. A court battle came about regarding who actually owns the ideas for Bratz dolls, and Barbie actually won. While this might be the biggest battle Bratz have fought, it’s also likely the first they have actually lost – and with good reason.

The most popular argument against Bratz dolls is how alluring some of the dolls are in their urban outfits with flirty eyes. Yet, even though some people call for a ban or a stop to production, all that boycotting simple makes the Bratz more popular. A few years ago, Bratz very quietly overtook Barbie as the more popular fashion doll. The Bratz games were able to do this quietly because everyone else was shouting for and against them.

Now times have changed just a bit and it’s not sex appeal that’s under fire – it’s the future of the dolls. Bratz games are under attack, and the winner isn’t at all clear.

Is This The End of Bratz Games?

A bad thing happened to the Bratz dolls recently. Barbie sued the dolls and won. Now Bratz are going to have to pay up, and the amount of money involved might make it hard for the Bratz dolls and games to continue the way they normally do. In fact, there is talk that Barbie, or really her company, Mattel, might get to have the Bratz line of dolls and there will be nothing left of Bratz as we know them.

Is this the end for Bratz dolls? Not likely. Here’s why:

The Bratz dolls make a lot of money. In each of the last four years, the dolls have earned over $250million in profits. They have to pay a $40 million fine. If nothing else happens, the fine will be paid and the Bratz games will continue in the same way as they have for the last five years.

The Bratz dolls make plenty of money for anyone. If the dolls change hands, Mattel might be mad, but it’s not a foolish company. The entire line of Bratz dolls are worth a lot of money. Mattel, if it knows what it’s doing, will simply continue the Bratz the same way. This will bring the company as much or more money.
