![]() ![]() Outraged parents felt they should not have to explain this novelty feature to their children, when they discovered it on their own. Surprise Dolls were found to be flaunting tattoos, suggestive lingerie, etc.that become visible only after being submerged in ice-cold water. Faced with accusations of encouraging pedophilia in 2020, Mattel rival Hasbro was obliged to recall its Trolls World Tour Poppy doll, which giggled and gasped when the button between its legs was pressed. The negative reaction to Growing Up Skipper seems pretty tame in comparison to two recent scandals in Toyland. Not quite the 1970s coloring book, but not as different as you might expect… She is more than happy to help her totally awesome big sister (who looks like she stepped out of Frozen) make sure Mom makes her project deadline. In Sisters Save the Day (New York: Random House, 2019), which belongs to the series Step into Reading starring Barbie, friends, and family, when the power goes off, Skipper is coaxed into being a good sport and goes camping with the family. But she’s not a sulky, antisocial brat who can’t put down her phone. Now rocking a colored streak in her hair, Skipper is obsessed by her smart gadgets and all things technological. In 2009, Skipper’s beachy, party girl vibe was toned down in yet another redesign. The long checklist of the Skipper brand in the Wikipedia article is defined by the traditional preoccupations of popular high school girls–their figures, clothes, sports, and boys- Funtime Skipper, Sunsational Malibu Skipper, Beach Blast Skipper (shown at the left), Olympica Skipper, Hot Stuff Skipper, Great Shape Skipper, Teen Fun Cheerleader Skipper, Dream Date Skipper, Sleeping Beauty Skipper, Wet ‘n’ Wild Skipper, Pizza Party Skipper, Phone Fun Skipper, Disney’s Peter Pan Flying Tinker Bell (played by Skipper), and School Going Skipper (available only in India). The sweet teenager of the 1970s seems to have been pretty well erased in the redesigns of the 1980s and 1990s. Cute without being overtly sexual, Skipper is the perfect daughter, gal-pal, friend, and student. Her new look is approved by her best friend Ginger before they rush off to class on the first day of school. She works so hard that her mom proclaims, ”Skipper, you’re growing up to be a mighty big help to me.” But her friend Brian, whom she waxes at ping pong without disarranging a hair in her new do, notices something different about her, but can’t put his finger on it. To repay her mom for all the new clothes, Skipper agrees to help out at the Roberts’ backyard barbeque the next weekend. Growing up doesn’t change her, thank heaven. Except for the merest suggestion of swelling on her right side in a few illustrations, she is almost, as was said in less enlightened times, as flat as a board. Incidentally, none of the illustrations show that the long-waisted and impossibly leggy Skipper has filled out. Mother, who instantly sizes up the situation, proposes that they go shopping the next day to address the crisis in the closet. Experimenting with hairstyles for a new look for the first day of school, she discovers that her clothes don’t quite fit. The Mattel/Whitman paper doll/coloring book of 1978, which was published after the dolls were discontinued in 1977, presented Skipper’s maturation in a much more indirect and wholesome way. In light of the controversy about the gimmick the newspapers and parenting magazines stirred up, giving Skipper a friend, Growing Up Ginger, in 1976 was not an especially astute move on Mattel’s part. Hence the slogan on the box, “Two dolls in one for twice the fun.” The process of transforming the little girl doll into a willowy teenager, was demonstrated semi-graphically on the marketing videos, which are easy to find on the Web. Rotate the doll’s left arm counterclockwise and the torso grew an inch and petite breasts sprouted on the rubber chest. Mattel decided in the mid-1970s that eight-year-old Skipper had to change and the new Growing Up Skipper doll, designed to bloom before its owner’s eyes, hit the market in 1975. Created in 1964, the doll was supposed to be the answer to fans requesting a mommy Barbie as a better role model for young ladies than the sexy career girl. Skipper has been an enduring character in the plastic-fantastic Barbie world. One shows that the gender expectations for Skipper, Barbie’s little sister, in the books did not quite align with the toys and accessories rom the very beginning. Although the actual dolls are out of scope for the Cotsen collection, it does have a handful of the authorized books about them. ![]() Mattel’s Barbie dolls project toxic stereotypes that have shaped American girls’ ideas of body image since the 1960s. ![]()

While other people can support you in your endeavors, they cannot make you believe in yourself. The one thing about believing in yourself is that you have to be the one to do it. Believing in yourself can be a determining factor in your potential success, as it gives you the confidence that you need to endure challenges. If you don’t believe that you can do something in the first place, you won’t put forth your full effort in trying. “ But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain’t gonna have a life.”– Rocky Balboa As long as you can change your attitude about adverse or unfavorable situations, you can demonstrate resilience. If you want to build resilience as an adult, you can change your attitude by becoming actively involved in problem-solving when issues arise, remembering that change is always an opportunity for growth, and responding to stress in an objective manner. ![]() Also, children who have nurturing caretakers who support their sense of confidence can also grow up to have a strong sense of resilience. Research has shown that overcoming stressful situations early in life can set you up to be more resilient as an adult. Resilience is developed through your personal experiences. Having resilience helps you thrive, even during troubling times, and turn potentially catastrophic situations into opportunities for growth. Even more than knowledge or training, having resilience in the face of hardships and unexpected changes can be the determining factor in whether you succeed or fail. The key to coping with stressful times and coming out on top is resilience. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” This is when Rocky says, “But it ain’t about how hard you’re hit. There is one line in this speech that really encompasses resilience. Aside from just owning your mistakes, this means showing people that you are reliable when it comes to delivering on your obligations, and showing other people that they can trust you to do what you say you’ll do. Practicing behaviors that make you accountable will strengthen your sense of personal responsibility. Being able to do this will help you evaluate the outcomes that have come from your actions and design a plan to prevent future mistakes. ![]() In this Rocky speech, he points out his son’s tendency to blame others when things have gotten difficult for him, suggesting that doing this is the easy way out.Īlternatively, people who accept personal responsibility are able to acknowledge the outcome of their decisions without accusing other people of any wrongdoing. Making excuses to dispel responsibility when you make a mistake will prevent you from creating any real changes in your life. When something doesn’t go exactly how it was planned or if you make a mistake, who (or what) do you blame?

![]() Relatives - Don Diego, Rory McDuckula, Charles Duckleton Įnemies - Danger Mouse, Penfold, Jeopardy Mouse (HC*)Īge - 878 (Original age of 1st Count) / 34īirth date - October 23rd, 1154 (Original birth date of 1st Count) / 1994 All in all, Bart does have a heart, but it depends on what he feels about the other person. Never biting her to make that somewhat complete. Once he finds Heather, a girl that was left out in the village under Castle Duckula during one of the nights he would come down to have his “fun”, he originally intended to corrupt her for his own dark intentions, but instead he grew to care for the girl and he treats her as his own offspring. He does however, care for people, as he watches out for Igor and Nanny, no matter how badly she can get on his nerves sometimes. He is currently trying to learn how to use fencing swords in battle so he won’t have to feel so brutal and predictable. With that said, he isn’t weak at all, and pretty risky when it comes to fights that match on a similar level to his strengths. It just happens to be that death, gore, and torture are some of the ways he finds that enjoyment. He does enjoy the pain of others, as it has fascinated him since he was reincarnated, but all he really wants is to have something that will enjoy himself. Summary - Balthazar is one of the ancestors of the current Duckula, and while he isn’t the most vicious or cunning one, he is probably the most gentlemanly one while still being a vampire. Likes - Intelligence, Corruption, Manipulation, Fun, Excitement, Blood, Other vampires or citizens of upper class status, Nanny’s impudence, Igor’s traits and intelligence, and Heather’s moody personality.ĭislikes - Vampire hunter weapons, Crudeness, Indecency during a public event, Annoyances, Know-it-alls and Muscle heads.

He hates things that have romance, but he has a fascination with bats, and while he will outburst to make his opinion or stand, he will generally cease it if it from his master or there is no point to continue. He shares a very good bond between himself and Balthazar Duckula, the current count’s great-grandfather. Over the course of time he has continued to outlive his various masters, reincarnating them each time the moon causes a special effect every century and so he can wreck havoc with his newly established master. Cunning and calculating, Igor isn’t one to be fooled so easily. ![]() He has went to a school that taught about the means of being an evil henchman, and excelled is his class for his thirst of evil. Summary - Igor is an old vulture who one day in his youth sought out a plan to turn his master (Count Duckula the 1st) into a vampire, and succeeded. Likes - Blood, Anything related to blood, Bats, Vampires, Werewolves, Evil, Maliciousness, Torture for others, Weapons and Red meat.ĭislikes - Vegetables, annoying or stupid people, Nanny’s impudence, Duckula’s refusal to be a true vampire, Goosewing and his contraptions, Sweetness, Kindness, any type of Good in general and Good morals as well.

With Toyota's new Sienna out now with edgy looks inside and out, all-wheel drive, and with hybridization promising 10 MPG more overall, the Odyssey will need to do more to keep its lead in the people-carrier segment. And even then, nobody wants a minivan, you only need a minivan. Fuel Economy The 2021 Honda Odyssey consumes 8.0L/100km on the combined cycle. It’s mated to a continuously-variable transmission (CVT). The Odyssey is the best-selling in the segment currently, and has been for a staggering 10 years running with incredible loyalty, but unless you have lots of kids, that's literally the only reason I can think of why you'd want a minivan. All 2021 Honda Odyssey models are powered by a naturally-aspirated 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine producing 129kW of power and 225Nm of torque. At this Honda's high asking price, you'd have to conscientiously choose it over so many other options, and in many cases, you're paying more for a minivan. So I wasn’t too surprised that, during my week with it as a press car loan, I ended up liking the 2021 Odyssey and all of its tech-savvy features and luxurious. 2021 Honda Odyssey Highlights Revised front and rear styling New electric brake booster Enhanced active safety hardware now standard across the board 2021 Honda Odyssey Pros: Heaps of.
