You know, I wasn't entirely sure there was anything else as potentially nauseating as Barbie Girls. But, thanks to Tech Digest, I stand corrected. Never mind Editor Stu lamenting the lack of cool girlie sites for old men, I lament the existence of the likes of Stardoll in the first place. It seems Avril and Hilary are taking advantage of the dress up site to stream music and vids as well as plug virtual wear for their avatars.
Call me a fusty old lady, but playing dress up should involve a chest full of stuff your mum should have thrown out in 1964, and paper dolls should be slightly crappy and tear under the slightest provocation. And a pre-teen social network shouldn't be full of illustrated images of celebs in teeny smalls because, and here call me a cynical old lady, that looks like a magnet for just the kind of user who turns out to be a 45-year-old man with a computer the police would really like to look at.
Oh well. At least this way I can make sure she cover up, damnit. She'll catch her death otherwise.
