Even Fictional Characters Get Makeovers

As if I need a reminder about my age, now I have to see the things I enjoyed in my childhood getting a new look. Have you seen Strawberry Shortcake lately?

Yes, the dress and bloomers are a little Raggedy Ann, and the shoes are orthopedic (and totally don't match her red and pink ensemble). But did she REALLY need the who thing? Look at her! She's like a little pink sex kitten with her long hair. What is going on? I know she's not incredibly hip, but she doesn't look like an innocent plastic friend who smells of sweet berries.

Ahh...the simpler times.

If you want the real story, go here.
