The big new toy: America’s Next Top Model dolls
There are many TV shows that are a natural when it comes to making dolls and action figures for them: Lost, Heroes, Star Trek. Maybe even those bobbleheads of Dwight from The Office. But dolls for America’s Next Top Model? That makes as much sense as a line of dolls for The McLaughlin Group (”I’ll trade you my Pat Buchanan for the Eleanor Clift!”), but they’re here, and they’re scary.
I think this is going to screw up kids even more, as if image and weight problems aren’t already a problem with girls approaching their teen years. I’m terrible at math so I can’t really figure out what those dimensions mean, but something tells me the waist size on these dolls wouldn’t make sense in the real world. Not that the world of modeling is the “real world.” Just look at the names of these dolls: Paisley, Sienna, Sidney, and Tascha. Are those the names of people or colors for a new clothing line this spring? Remember when George dated a girl named Sienna and Jerry said, “yeah, he’s dating a crayon.”
But it’s good to see that little girls around the world can now have the world of anorexia, bulimia and bitchiness in their own households twenty-four hours a day!
