Your Childhood Icons’ Evolution

I know there’s people that HATE — and I really mean HATE — Hello Kitty with a passion. I know there’s also people that love Hello Kitty… and I remember my friend even made a drawing of Hello Kitty eating Mickey Mouse. Hahaha. It was only HK with a little dark-spaghetti-like-tail in its mouth.
Anyway, I digress~~~ The fact is Hello Kitty is turning 35 — crap, HK is older than my cousin xD
The news reminded me that Barbie is also turning 50, and oh how much has Barbie changed throughout the years. I wouldn’t be surprised she’d be a common Botox user, as well as pretending to go to the gym and starving herself to death to keep that body of hers…
Change isn’t always good, just like the re-designed version of Strawberry Shortcake. It’s not like the new version is a technically bad version, but I would wonder why I would want my daughter watching her. Old Shortcake was short and child-like cute with baggy clothes, big boots, green/white stockings, and short curly red dreaded-hair. She was like a kid, and petted her cat (whatever connotations that may have now…).
New Shortcake is skinny and wears pretty tight clothing. It’s so tight, it almost looks like a freaking one-piece. She has wavy and lustrous hot pink hair, and uses soft pink lipstick, and she freaking chats on her cellphone. WTF. I don’t want my 6-year-old who barely knows how to write on paper to spend her afternoon nagging me over a cellphone. No wonder kids are so effed up nowadays~~~ 6-year-olds acting like they’re 14.

Kitty-chan hasn’t changed that much…. Just gained and lost a few pounds over the years.
Did you know that Jaejoong and Yoochun from Tohoshinki wrote the song for her 35th b-day? O hells yeah! It is charting as number 1 at Oricon right now!
What they did to shortcake is a disgrace… I miss my old one!

LOL
I am partial to some HK.
and yeah, the Shortcake makeover was
unnecessary~~~
no wonder most kids are rubbish these days.
What is your opinion?
