Having two girls means we have a lot of girl toys.  When I was pregnant with my 2nd daughter,  I actually told my husband I was sort of hoping to have another girl because we already had everything for a girl.  Having a boy would mean all new ‘boy’ things.  Of course I would have been happy if we had a boy but we had another girl and now our house is full of dolls – not dolls and cars!

The good thing is, my girls actually play with their dolls.  They definitely have a lot but I can say that each one gets some play time, not just with them but with their friends.  And when they get a new one, they all come out to play.  I love listening to them play as well because they are very good with imaginative play.

There is a doll in town!  The Beatrix Girls, an innovative new line of collectible pop-star dolls driven by original music, made their debut at TOYS R US stores nationwide on October 14, 2013.  The Beatrix Girls is poised to empower and inspire young girls throughout the country through their music, fashion and goal-oriented lifestyle. With fully developed personalities, The Beatrix Girls band members Brayden, Ainsley, Lark and Chantal live and interact in the human world—producing real music, real hits, and real fans.

Aren’t they cute?  But they are not just dolls,  Girls can collect their music,  join their fan club, and vicariously live the fantasy of being a pop-star through play.

About The Beatrix Girls:

The Beatrix Girls is a line of collectible dolls — they’re musicians, they’re dolls, they’re role models for a new generation of empowered young girls, with great clothes, fabulous hair, and original pop music developed by platinum-winning songwriters and producers. The Beatrix Girls are an accomplished pop band with real music that young girls are sure to adore. Each member of the band sings, plays a different instrument and even writes the songs. They’ve achieved the pop star success that young girls dream of and they’ve done it through talent, tenacity and old-fashioned hard work.

Meet The Beatrix Girls:

  • Brayden: With her gorgeous purple flowing hair, Brayden is the song writer and guitarist for the band. Born in the flats of Hollywood to entertainment industry parents, Brayden is a genuine LA Woman. She is willful, driven, ambitious, sharp-as-a-tack and sweet, considerate and socially conscious. She is passionate about music, song writing, and the environment. She makes Bienstock, the band’s manager, book The Beatrix Girls at ecology rallies, but then fights like a hellcat for top billing and a mention in all the events’ PR. Brayden is a writer. She writes the super hooky hit songs that have made The Beatrix Girls one of the hottest acts in the world. Her lyrics reflect life experiences, friendship, and lessons like standing up for who you are. Her style is unique and edgy but with cross-over appeal.
  • Ainsley: Ainsley is the willowy charming blonde drummer.  She is spunky, charming, and possesses and touch of pouty haughtiness. This seemingly frail Southern Belle from Atlanta plays totally against type. Ainsley is as sweet and quiet as they come until she gets behind the drums. Then she becomes a monster who can bash a drum kit into oblivion quicker than you can say Keith Moon. She is sweet and conscientious but also strong and determined. Her quiet drive and determination got her the gig as the drummer on The Beatrix Girls, one of the hottest acts in the world!  She channels Scarlett O’hara and Jane Eyre with her corsets, hats, and gloves, but she’s thoroughly modern in how she puts it all together (think Betsey Johnson.)
  • Lark: Lark is the bass-playing redhead with hot Irish blood. She has a beautiful shock of red hair that covers one of her eyes, the rumor of a tattoo somewhere personal (it’s behind her knee, ok? Jeez…) and a piercing sense of humor that punctures many pompous balloons. Lark is passionate about life and everything she does. She is not only a phenomenal bass player, but she is also an extreme athlete. She loves every extreme sport, and especially surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding. And, when it comes to competing, Lark always gives it a thousand percent, whether in a skating competition, or in earning.  Lark is the true “rocker chick” of the group. A little bit grungy, a little bit punk.
  • Chantal: Chantal, the keyboardist, comes from Montreal. With her thick Canadian/French accent, Chantal is the gentle, logical, level-headed member of The Beatrix Girls. But when her excellent advice goes unheeded, as it often does, Chantal flips out and throws a French fit. Chantal has soft, wavy brown hair, often worn in a loose up-do. Her make-up is very precise and discreet in comparison to the other girls. Chantal’s sensibility with just enough ‘tude, coupled with lots of passion and hard work, earned her a spot as The Beatrix Girls keyboardist. Chantal has a no-nonsense look about her, preferring to wear sensible shoes and sticking with a classic 50’s style.

The Beatrix Girls collection of dolls, which is recommended for ages 5+, retails for $24.99 each and is available as of October 14th at Toys “R” Us stores nationwide and online at www.ToysRUs.com.  The Beatrix Girls music is NOW on iTunes and Amazon!

My girls are SO excited about this new doll.  We received Chantal for review and the fought over who she belonged to so needless to say we’ll be getting a 2nd one this weekend at Toys R Us.  These dolls are different than most they have because they are bigger.   As you can see in the picture above, their heads sit very big on their bodies which gives them personality, in my opinion.  And their hair is nice and smooth and since their heads are bigger, it’s so much easier for the girls to brush their hair.   Playing with and ‘fixing’ the dolls hair is one thing they love to do.  My little one especially loves styling hair.

I like these dolls because they are dressed appropriately for my girls, their makeup isn’t wild and crazy and they love music.  Other dolls on the market aren’t really appropriate for my kids and I don’t want them to think that dressing inappropriate is OK because their dolls do.  These dolls set good examples and the fact that they sing and dance shows they are passionate about what they love, and I want my girls to be the same way.
