I can always expect to rely on your honest reviews before deciding whether to purchase a new doll or not. On your blog, you give very insightful opinions and that's very much appreciated, and on doll boards, you give very to the point comments and it's also very entertaining to read. There is no law requiring you to elaborate more at one place or the other and with a doll board being for people to express their opinions on dolls, they should respect your right to express yours. Keep it coming! <br /><br />With that being said.. I just have to say, a lot of ugly dolls have been made in the past, but that Gaga one seriously takes the cake.

The doll is unattractive. Who cares? Lately, the W Club seems to be more like the Barbie Fan Club ... with a handful of sycophants cheerleading Integrity's every move (and they seem to be the ones who enjoyed the convention the most - just an observation). Perhaps one can call the W Club "BC2" [or Barbie Club Squared]?

At least you're honest about it. I guess the person felt that as someone in the limelight, when you don't like something, it is a too powerful opinion that might cause people not to buy the doll.

Some more stupid drama I missed. I'm sorry people treat you this way. It's true what they say, I guess. Honesty hurts, but who is it hurting? A company makes dolls and we either like them or we don't like them. How does one explain "ugly" or "pretty" when people are so different and what one thinks of as ugly is another person's pretty? How can "constructive criticism" help in this case? It can't! It's your opinion and you have a right to it! And you're absolutely right--you bought the doll! You pay money for this company's dolls. That company needs to get a grip and stop taking things so personally! And brown-nosers?

She is. You didn't need to elaborate on your opinion. It's an unattractive face mold that doesn't look like Josephine Baker or Lady Gaga. What's unfortunate is that they used your candor to address a personal grievance. A personal grievance does not negate your opinion or how you choose to express it. <br /><br />All I can say is that you handled it well and may you continue to give your unbiased opinion on the boards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-11411517359340747302010-11-09T16:57:51.919-05:002010-11-09T16:57:51.919-05:00Oh Terri, I don't know if it's because we&...Oh Terri, I don't know if it's because we're both New Yorkers that makes me adore you or posts like this.

I'm sorry, but I don't have to look beneath the layers to like or dislike anything. If I don't like it I don't like it. It's MY OPINION and I don't owe anyone any explanations for it! And if I change my mind later, it's my right. And I have every right to express my opinion in that forum, regardless of it being constructive or not. Why do I need to "provide insight"?
