Naturally Princess LOVES it. She can really see herself scooting around the campsite next summer on this, stopping only to gloss her lips and paint her toenails in front of an envious band of cohorts. Me? I think it epitomises all that's wrong with little girl toys. I think it is barf. Sports equipment should not have to be pink in order to get girls to do physical activity! And to have to add in the bribe of make up? For a five year old? Urgh....and yet...I know I would have loved it when I was seven too. But what's wrong with just having a scooter?
It's £29.99 as well, so not something I'm just going to pick up to present to her on a whim. If it was £5....well, maybe. It really is disgustingly girly icky though, isn't it?

Woolworths?!! I loved Woolworths! They're no longer in the US though. And the scooter? I agree bleck. Why does everything need to be color segregated? Blue for boys, pink for girls? I had a red scooter back in the 60's. Loved it! Wish I had that baby today. Very cool with a stand and everything.
A friend of mine was going round a roundabout on her scooter, in the days when that meant a sort of sedate lady-motorbike, and all her stuff fell off the back, which included her make-up. Instead of heading for the nearest branch of Boots as I probably would have done, she said, 'Sod it, I'll see how long I can do without it,' and she did. She's never worn any since. Perhaps there's a lesson here.
But I agree with you: Barbie should be called Barfie.
Very disgusting indeed.
Yuk! Mind you, I like the idea of the storage compartments, ideal for filling with invisible ink, magnifying glasses, interesting finds and all the other things I loved when I was a kid (hmm, looks as if I wanted to be a spy, when really I was into nature study).
It's my 6 year old niece's birthday next week and the request is for Barbie. I growlingly compromised by getting her Barbie with dog that really poos and pooper scooper. Which isn't pink.
Barfie
I love it.
christmas makes me more and more glad that i have boys. except, actually, here, toy guns are practically de rigeur. great.
