This annoys me

Really annoys me.

Dora - loses her way « PinkStinks: the campaign for real role models

Let's face it, Dora isn't perfect, but at least there's problem solving while climbing mountains and reading maps. At least she sets out to achieve something. Yes, sometimes as a princess. And there's nothing wrong with that either. Be a princess by all means. But be one with a brain.

I am sad. Really sad. Yes, I call my daughter Principessa, but nothing on this earth will stop her attacking her brother with his own lightsabers while wearing her crown and frilly dress. (We have tried to stop her. Kind of)

We have loved Dora, all of us, for a very long time. She's no Lola, but that's okay. I really don't want to see Dora glammed up, thanks very much.

Ugh. I have my issues with Dora, but she's a way better role model than some stick-insect tween with a passion for fashion.
