Chloe, Yasmin and Cameron

I am not sure what I think about them, but I wanted to tell you about the fact they exist. I didn't know until I came across them the other day.  So what am I talking about?

Bald dolls. Yep, that's right, little dollies with no hair.

"Bratz" have launched a line of their dolls with no hair called True Hope Bratz. They have even given these skinny, street cool dolls cute and funky names. It is, I believe, in the spirit of raising awareness of hairloss. Some of the money raised is donated to a children's charity.

So I guess it's a good thing.

Whether it is good or bad, it has definitely piqued my interest.

Raising awareness on taboo subjects is always provocative. Yet where should it stop? An amputee doll? A scarred doll? A doll with hairy legs?

I am fascinated by it. Is this just a marketing scam?  Is it a real ploy for awareness on hair loss?  Is it the start of  a new generation of "real life" toys?

Should I even buy one for my girls? Do I have a morale obligation to subject such ideas?

This fashionistas amongst you, will be pleased to hear that these dolls, named Chloe, Yasmin and Cameron, come equipped with a hat, a second outfit and a bracelet. This I think is very cool, as bald people love looking good as much as others do. Possibly even more so.

Either way, bravo to Bratz, for doing something different. There is something great about selling toys to children demonstrating unconventional beauty.
