Just discovered via Feministing that Mattel is making a line of toy cars for girls. Yippee, right? Cars aren’t boring! Even better, they aren’t washing machines! Hooray!
Oh, wait.
- “[T]he 2007 lineup of Polly Wheels™ includes 50 different “models” in an array of stylin’ candy colors with glittery details and fun names such as Bling ’N Blush™, Splashin’ Pink™ and Glitter Peach™.”
- “Extra “options” will include the Polly Wheels™ Race to the Mall™ track and playset available in June.”
- “Other new features for the fall lineup includes fruit scented Polly Wheels™.”
Race. To. The. Mall.
Race to the mall in your fruit-scented, bling ‘n’ blush-colored car.
Sometimes, progress makes me want to cry.
