Pink Stinks!

In the words of reynardo:

When two sisters launched an "anti-pink" campaign two years ago to liberate girls from a toy industry dedicated to churning out pretty princesses for girls, they had no idea of the fuss it would cause..

Pinkstinks. Because girls don't have to be just beauticians or nurses - they can be doctors and scientists if they want to.

I hate the whole concept of girlie LEGO. Also, is it me, or did fashion dolls used to come with far more accessories that weren't pink? My Sindy dolls had a yellow beach buggie and a blue carriage from what I remember. Just thinking that there's a whole other conversation my characters could have regarding whether to buy Business Executive Barbie (just like Auntie!) and Barbie's Ranger Rover (just like Auntie's) or whether that's going to involve an excess of pink (when Auntie wears more muted colours and drives a black 4x4).

I don't know, because my sister and I never got accessories for our barbie dolls, we made our own.

Something else for me to research...
