The same can be said about the bibbidi bobbidi boutiques. Puke but little girls who love the princesses with parents who are willing to spend, eat it up. We in our American society have been conditioned to be crass about things like this, especially when the intention is to capitalize on a profit making doll. We are smarter than that which is why Duffy is a failure in the states. In Japan the Japanese love "cute". They will eat it up. My position is … to each his own.
