Do we really need this?

I'm sure all of you moms out there have heard about the new look they are giving Dora. I understand the marketing plan behind it, but why do they have to make her just like all the other dolls out there. I read in the article that you will be able to go online to her new website and change her hair and clothes. I have a real problem with this. Dora is a teacher to our young children, why when she "grows up" does she need to be vain? Can't she still be a teaching tool for the older girls? Girls already have a tough time when it comes to people put pressure on them to look a certain way, do we really need another doll to help further that idea? I would really like to see them change her, but keep some of her ideals in tact. I will leave you with a picture of the new Dora. You tell me what you think.....
