Good god no that is long gone. Sophie is into Barbies life in the dream house on Netflix. That has got to be the most god awful piece of garbage I have ever watched.

Happily my own little girl's Frozen and Tinkerbell phase morphed into PowerPuff Girls and Breadwinners, with only occasional MLP. Unfortunately my son enjoys a bit of Barbie on the QT so it's not all plain sailing. Good to see you back, V - what did ya make of TFA?

Loved it, so did the lad. Plenty of similarities to ANH but will give the benefit of the doubt to see where the next two films go. Just waiting for the Rogue Squadron film now.

Ah come now Tordela, your son's into Barbie so what? So long as he's happy! Get him onto Powerpuff girls ASAP mind you!

And the answer is Buttercup, BTW.

The answer is always Buttercup. She's clearly the best.

It's not boys liking Barbie I have a problem with (I myself have a drawer full of Padme and her handmaidens in all available costume variations, after all), it's the godawful nature of her cartoon adventures, as ably illustrated by Vzzbux's link there. Shudder.

I'll grant you that, she's no Legend of Korra.

The Barbie movies are, at best, drivel but that Netflix series makes you just want to drown yourself.

In a sadly transparent attempt to turn my missus' thoughts to romance while in bed the other night, I mused aloud on our upcoming anniversary: 'I wonder what the traditional present for a 27th anniversary is?', I fished.

Came the unmoved reply: 'Batteries'.

Well it saves you the trouble.

It's the sincerest form of flattery. Apparently.
