my mother buys Lily all this stuff- Baby Phat, Apple Bottoms, Baby Juicy. She gets em on clearance for next to nothing (Macy's addict) and she thinks they are soooooo cute. Sometimes they are, sometimes not. It's not like I'm putting lipstick on lily to go with the outfit.

Besides, Lily always "ruins" every outfit with a totally funky mismatched shoe choice, which ruins the "image" my mom pictured so it's fun to watch my mom's eye twitch. "You don't REALLY let Lily pick out her own shoes... " hells yes. Every day!

I file this under the Brats Dolls meh-ness. Do I like them? No. Are they a signal for the end of decency and childhood? Nah. It's not as if she's dressing in padded bras or thong diapers (ew, and heh). The hair on some of those girls is a little out there. Does anyone have kids who would put up with getting it styled that way?? :) And those hats would last 2 minutes before it was "NO momma, dolly hat"
