I love the 80s

Well, apparently the toy manufacturers do, anyway. Today we learn that Strawberry Shortcake Brand Tops $500 Million in Worldwide Retail Sales in 2004.

The Little Ballerina is equally obsessed with My Little Pony and the Care Bears. Our playroom looks like the set of a VH1 episode. What's odd is that she knew what all these things without any input from me. When we went to buy her "big girl" underwear the first one she wanted was that master of all merchandising, Hello Kitty.

She's reliving my childhood.
