Awful plastic surgery -- Strawberry Shortcake

My sister-in-law Lauren sent me these photos of Strawberry Shortcake:


Original


Acceptable


WTF?

They've turned Strawberry Shortcake into a Playboy Playmate.  She may as well have her top off and be straddling a Vespa in the last picture.  And what is this?

This 2-inch doll has more hair than I do.  And why does she have a Michael Jackson nose?  Who felt like that was a good idea?

I LOVED Strawberry Shortcake as a child.  I still use my Strawberry Shortcake sleeping bag regularly.  I had ALL of the dolls, except, of course, the boy dolls.  For the same reason that I was not allowed to have a Ken doll, I was not allowed to have Huckleberry Pie or the Purple Pie Man.  I don't even want to know what Huck looks like now.  His name is probably "Huckleberry 'the Situation' Pie."

The whole point of Strawberry Shortcake was that she was not a Barbie Doll.... she lived in a strawberry for the love of christ.  Her hat looked like a window treatment and her dress was a mass of giant doilies.  Why does updating her mean she has to look like a hooker?  Lauren and I object.

    And apparently she does not care about her cat anymore. There is no sign of her little fury friend.

    Huckleberry Pie is a skater boy now. http://strawberryshortcake.wikia.com/wiki/Huckleberry_pie

    And I think Custard is now a pit bull.

    The new Lemon Meringue looks like Britney Spears. What a shame.

    Just took a peek at Lemon Meringue, she looks like she is on crack.

    Also, why is Rasberry Tart now a Torte?
