Parents need to know that this site is a forum for girls to get answers to questions on a wide variety of issues, including dating, health, fitness, beauty, family, and friendships. It's the online component of actress Elizabeth Berkley's offline self-empowerment workshops, and will soon be developed into an MTV series. (Yes, she's the same Elizabeth Berkley who was in the highly erotic, somewhat cult movie Showgirls.) The site promotes positive messages about things like self-esteem and body image, and while the site's design is very girly, there's a strong sense of "girl power" throughout. Currently there's no advertising on the site or links to other sites, but a store is coming soon.
Educational value:Good, positive values promoted, as well as useful, practical advice.
Positive messages:Site promotes positive messages about developing good self-esteem and developing the confidence to be yourself. Also talks about how to be a good sibling and friend.
Consumerism:Elizabeth mentions some of her preferred products when she talks about skin care and makeup, but it isn't overt, or made to look an ad disguised as an objective opinion.

Great for preteen girls!
I would recommend this for girls, I'm a mom for a 12 year old and I suggested this site for her, it gives girls a great image for themselves. A very cute site. No concerns. I've reviewed it. (:
