Lev 17:11
For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life.

As far as catfights go, this is a doozy.
Barbie, long the reigning queen in the doll world, has suddenly been thrust into the battle of her life. But Barbie’s competitors look nothing like the blue-eyed, blond-haired, long-legged fashion icon. And they don’t have the same baggage and old standards of beauty either.
Monster High dolls, vampy teens that are patterned after the offspring of monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein, have neon pink and green streaks in their hair. They wear platform heels and miniskirts with skulls on them. And the dolls that go by names like Draculaura and Ick Abbey Bominable are gaining on Barbie. …
“Kids are growing up much faster younger,” (Timetoplaymage.com toy analyst Jim) Silver says. “A six-year-old is looking for something a little edgier. That’s the reason why Monster High has had so much success.” …

More sexualization of children.

“A six-year-old is looking for something a little edgier”
...a 6 year old isn’t looking for anything unless someone else tells them what to look for!
Scraping the bottom of the barrel to find anything to report rather than the dark one’s destruction of America.
I can’t say I’m surprised; I honestly don’t know about stateside, but here in the Czech Republic, “Monster High” has been a huge hit - the toy section at the local Tesco hypermarket stocks them, and they’ll be sold out by the end of a week. It helps that they created a catch pop music video, similar to the American one, but using Ewa Farna, sort of the Czech Britney Spears (except she typically writes her own music and she can actually sing).

>>Ah, yes, the vampire genre, being introduced to kids younger and younger...
I had a gay friend back in the early 1990’s when the “cool vampire” genre was first getting started and he explained to me that the “cool vampire” is about homo-eroticism. I forget the whole explanation (because he was working on a Masters in Psychology and he could spin some long-winded explanations), but it really did make sense. As the vampires kept getting more and more androgynous, it became even more apparent.
Bring back building blocks, jacks, marbles, Lincoln Logs, and baby dolls.
I think Bram Stoker and Count Dracula would disagree with your friends’ assessment.
Vampires should never be ‘androgynous’. And they shouldn’t ‘sparkle’ (I detest the Twilight series).

Read my post. I said “cool vampires”. Count Dracula, as found in the novel and pre-1980 movies is not really that hip.
(oh, and agree totally about the overhyped, overrated Twilight. Haven't seen the movies but the books went from bad to worse).
BLASPHEMY!!!!
You’re right - The Count isn’t quite as “cool” as he used to be. I guess the vampire genre has moved on to different interpretations.
I like my monsters to be monsters, thanks. I don’t need to understand their motivations.
I’ll take Christopher Lee’s Count Dracula over anything in “Twilight”.
My six yr old draws some pretty fantastic princesses.
And cupcakes and ice cream cones.
Sodomy is a part of Satanism/Luciferean occult. It is the ultimate mocking of God’s Design of the human body (Judeo-Christian Ethics)-——reducing the life-generating organ to fecal material. It is the ultimate dehumanization.
But a nearly 18 year old Trayvon Martin is an "innocent child".
I’ve bought my niece a few. I like them.
At least they’re not as slutty-looking as those Bratz dolls that were so popular a few years ago.
