At least Monopoly-for-girls is still a fully functioning game.
Yeah, except it teaches girls that their choices in life are going to the beauty salon, the spa or the mall. Although that telescope is a total scandal.
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh. I hate the pink backlash. I just wish they'd make pink stuff in the same strength as the non-pink stuff. My pink handwraps aren't as long as my black handwraps, and the pink boxing gloves don't come in 14oz weights, so you can't spar in them.

In light of the Monopoly for girls, I give you Pink Stinks
That was what my feminism rant this morning was about. Good site, that!

Wait. I don't remember showing my boobies to Buffistas at large. Are you extrapolating from how well they fill out a semi-colon t-shirt?
I'm pretty sure I've seen them in just a bra. And in shirts cut low enough that the quality was evident.
Even when they're "covered", Buffista women like to show off the girls.

I don't think that the Buffistas at large have seen my boobies. Juliana and smonster have enjoyed the largesse, possibly meara, but I can't think of anyone else.
*sigh* I remember a time when it was rare to be in a group where no one had seen me naked. Good times.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's kind of funny inthe ironic sort of way that Joe's shooting a film for class most of the weekend, so I will be bribing our child into submission by creating a Fancy Nancy bedroom for her.
Which is ALL pink and purple.
Or rather, fuschia, which a fancy way of saying purple.

Eh, I don't know. Does regular Monopoly teach kids that their only choices in life are to be real estate moguls? Does Star Wars Monopoly teach kids that their only choices in life are rebelling against the Empire?
I feel like with the avalanche of inferior pink "for-girls" products out there, I can't find the energy to get mad about this one. I have outrage fatigue.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I always think of fuchsia as a pinker shade of purple. Which, of course, is a pinker shade of blue...
Now I have Whiter Shade of Pale in my head.
