Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

A Lot or a Little?

What’s It About?
Log on to EVERYTHINGGIRL.COM and enter a pink-and-purple-splashed world inhabited by dolls of every shape and size.
Pippa, a Tinkerbell-like fairy, plays host. She guides users through various sites, including Barbie and My Scene, where kids will find games allowing them to design fingernails, make over rooms, and create clothing looks. On Polly Pocket, tweens and younger kids can garden with a virtual version of the popular doll or tour her \"glamour mansion.\" Kids can create their own tee-shirt iron-on to print out at Pixel Chix. On TeenTrends, users can design the cover and pages of a magazine.
Is It Any Good?
It's clear this site is managed by Mattel. That's because there are countless areas where products -- from Barbie dolls and accessories to user-designed Polly Pocket tee-shirts -- can be bought.
That said, if parents are willing to overlook the material goods splashed on every page, the site does offer fun, interactive games sure to delight not-yet-tween girls.
