Here is a collection of my four year old daughter’s dolls and toys, except for one. One of these items is sold as a “toy”, but I do not allow my daughter to play with it. Instead, I use it in my Redefine Girly media literacy workshops for parents as an example of sexualization of girlhood and gender stereotyped toys offered to girls. Throw in a little body image conditioning, too.
Can you guess which one it is?
One of these things is not like the other ones.

She’s supposed to be “Fashionista Barbie”, complete with miniskirt that does not cover her assets, skin tight boob shirts that reads “Miss Sassy”, and hooker boots.
On the back of the box they show her as a rock star and cat walk model.
