That’s right, everyone’s favorite pint-sized poster girl for fruity-smelling sweetness has gotten a much needed makeover.  The idea is, of course, to make her more interesting to today’s little girls.  The big premise is this: those of us who grew up in the 1980s played with the scrumptious little Shortcake.  So now, as we begin to have little shortcakes of our own, naturally her manufacturers want us to buy Strawberry and her friends for her daughters.  However, the bloomers, wild and curly hair, and floppy, strawberry-shaped hat just weren’t cutting it.  As a result, Strawberry Shortcake v2.0 has an altogether hipper look, from her sleek red hair to her cool newsboy cap.

Barbie had better watch out.  With a whole slew of friends, pets, and accessories, Strawberry Shortcake might be giving the reigning queen a run for her money!
