Inappropriate Princess Dolls

Afternoon lovelies,

Right so a few months ago I saw something in a supermarket that absolutely infuriated me and it only recently occurred to me to blog about it. I saw this doll in the toy section, it was a doll of snow white, you all know her, the Disney princess? This one-

And this is the doll I saw in the shop-

It absolutely revolted me, not only because I am a huge Disney fan, it upset me because of the abuse they had given the traditional beauty of snow white. Girls from the ages of 4+ are the target market for dolls, so these girls are shown that that is what a princess looks like. Its warping the minds of these young girls, making them feel that the only way they'll find their 'prince' is if they dress like this. 

Evidently they haven't mirrored the original snow white, her hair was never up in a high bun with a tight sleeveless corset and short yellow skirt. Her hair was short and curly and loose with a beautiful blue and yellow ankle length dress and black and red cape. 

I don't want to get all feminist on you and start bringing in tonnes of statistics but I just don't think it's right. At my age a lot of girls I know think they should wear their skirts half way up their bums and plaster loads of makeup on, if it's to make you feel better about you it's SLIGHTLY more understandable, but the reason they don't feel secure with their natural selves is because from a very young age their shown their favourite idols and heroines dressed in a ridiculously inappropriate way. I found another few examples of 'kinky' dolls-

 How wrong is that? To give those to a toddler/young child who will then think it's the way to dress.

It's not that I have a problem with short skirts/dresses, I myself own quite a few, but that's the thing I'm 14. I think as a girl gets older they should definitely embrace their feminine bodies in any way they wish, when they are at an age to make their own logical decisions for themselves. What I object to is these kind of dolls, sorry but when did Sleeping Beauty and Belle wear sarong's? I actually cringe when I see little girls dressed in crop tops and mini skirts and wearing makeup and heels at the age of 8. Yes 8, I have seen girls that young trying to be a certain way.

I think if they're going to be given any kind of doll they should at least look like the beautiful girls Walt Disney created-

Anyway, rant over. Tell me what you guys think :) Comment below!
