Happy Holidays Barbie
Moxie Girlz – Dolls that Empower Young Girls?
You will see Moxie Girlz everywhere this year. They are edging out Holiday Barbie 2009 in sales this year!
These dolls are marketed as dolls that help empower girls to do and be whatever they want. And you can’t argue with that! They also promote fashion and makeup, and there are some who do argue with that.
Here’s how I see it. Although it’s easy to be a slave to fashion, these dolls promote dressing however you want. They promote individuality. They are so not Barbie dolls.
Yes, they have huge made-up eyes and pouty lips, as is the current fashion in the world. But who wants to be a dag? And every single one of us goes along with the fashion of the day to some extent, no matter how individual, or even rebellious, we are. It’s part of living in our society.
The Moxie Girlz website proclaims ‘Every girl has the strength to do something amazing. Anything is possible as long as you stay true to yourself and never give up on your dreams.’ Wow! That even inspires me, and I haven’t been a child for a long time.
There are four Moxie Girlz, and each one is an individual, showing her own kind of moxie.
Lexa is playful, silly and creative. She thinks that life is meant to be fun, and here’s her moxie: fun means being yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks.
Sasha is decribed as being friendly and clever, with a positive attitude. She encourages her friends in whatever they want to do, and helps them to see the bright side of any situation.
Avery is strong, determined and energetic. She believes that anyone can do anything they want if they want it enough and really go for it.
Sophina is warm, thoughtful and caring. She is always thinking about the world around her, and thinks we can all make a difference if we really want to.
I would be over the moon if my granddaughter learned these attitudes as a natural way of growing up.
Why is the collection called Moxie Girlz?
Well, it’s hard to justify the ‘z’ from the point of view of correct English. But it does give it a modern feel, and really brings the dolls into this age of texting and domain names that run together and use unusual spelling.
The website defines ‘moxie’ like this:
1. Positive attitude and confidence.
2. The courage to go for it.
3. Energy in everything you do.
Gotta love it.
And there are beauty shop games. But taking care of one’s appearance, wearing lipstick and nail polish, does not necessarily make a woman superficial.
I’m happy that these dolls and their accessories are so popular. They are thought-provoking and mind-opening for young girls who are at an age of being easily influenced.
