Okay, okay, calm down, all steaming-angry parents, and all furious kids. It's not the Apocalypse. In my OPINION, this is a great toy.

This toy would be a five-star rating - EXCEPT it had a BIG down side to it.

The down side of this toy?

The commercial for it (most girls see the commercial to get them convinced to buy the doll) is rather inappropriate. It shows whom I would judge to be a twelve-year-old girl getting a letter (why not a phone call? IN MY OPINION):D), then wandering off into some closet, where she changes from looking like a sweet little angel into some (...) wearing knee-high stilleto black boots, a tiny leather skirt, and a (...) leather jacket (Fascinating: what's going on in marketers' brilliantly dulled minds these days, hmmm?) And then she goes to answer the door for her mystery date. I do not believe that this ad was appropriate for the targeted audience (ages 6-10). Not only was the subject (or model) too (...), but there was a (...) voice singing in the background. And lots of (...) moans, like the singer was enjoying having (...). Another kid argued that people should have freedom of expression. I agree, but 'freedom of expression' is hard to define, and it should only go so far. In other words, I don't know why advertisers would have to slam something (...) down a little girl's throat, when the product they're trying to sell isn't even that (...)!

That's right. Rest assured, parents, the product is not at all like the twelve-year-old and her mystery date are in the commercial. That girl looks like a (...), as some of you have put it, but the toy dolls do not. Phew. Just an innocent little romantic night together. Makes you wonder about why the ads can't be that way.

There is no danger attatched to this toy. It's the ad we should have a bite to pick with. Advertising is media, and like it or not, media CAN (I hate this as well) manipulate a little girls's thinking, or anyone else's, for that matter! With the twelve-year-old in the commercial, I won't run too deep into this discussion, as you can draw your own conclusions on how the ad 'twists' a child's thinking. Oh, and by the way, that was a real girl in the commercial, not a doll. So how will a little girl link this to reality? Think about it.

Now, after giving you a big lecture on the ad, and effects of advertising, I'm going to tell you about the doll. I think that this is a very cute toy. Now, some close-minded parents complain about the concept of a romantic night together. I wonder, like Chloe, why those parents are not complaining about Cinderella, hmmm? Why? I know that commercial does not illustrate the 'romantic night together' issue as a point, but what about the doll? Cinderella is a harmless tale with the concept of a romantic night with a Prince Charming, and she is not harmful. Basically, the Bratz Secret Date line is only bringing the idea of true romance into the twentieth century. Bravo. (Clap your hands) Very nice, MGA. (I'm not a Bratz fan) For once, you came up with a theme better than the themes of 'fashion', 'flirting' (flirting and true romance are two different things), or (sigh) 'shopping'.

What do the dolls wear? They don't dress like that girl does in the commercial: they are very finely dressed with jackets and pants. Maybe Nevra's skirt is a bit short, but I'll rest neutrally on this one. The boys are dressed like any Prince Charming eager to please his princess would be. Nothing trashy, or hideous. Think about tuxedoes, and stuff that's very formal wear. The boy even comes with a sweet bouquet of flowers for the girl! Awhhh...you just gotta adore that. MGA must've known about the whole 'inappropriate clothing' stunt, and realized that such trashy stuff will not go well with a date as a theme. MGA even decided to go easy on the makeup here. Very good. Very good.

The accessories include the usual combs and makeup compacts, but now, we also have a bottle of champagne or vodka, a couple of cute little cups, and glasses, so you can act out romantic scenes at a cafe or restaurant. Very sweet.

These are great toys for older kids, and yes, I recommend them over the other Bratz lines (and THEIR awful themes, UGH). I don't have Jade yet, but I want her badly, and I'm thirteen! :-)

Now, if only we could get that ad problem off our backs. Then, maybe adults wouldn't hate this toy so much. Has that commercial stopped airing?

P. S. I bleeped out all the possible words that may be inappropriate to children to hear, or plain offensive, even to myself.

Ewww! Barbie and My Scene is soo much more apropriate! Like, come on! You don't have to dress so gross to go on a "Secret Date"!!

I love the Bratz "Secret Date" dolls..They all come with cool accessories and pretty apealing dates, but in my opinion, these dolls are for older girls, maybe 11+..I think they should change the age range for these dolls on Amazon, so that parents that have younger children know what the dolls really look like..I am twelve.

WHATS WITH EVERYONE!!???????
CAN'T THEY SEE HOW UHHGLY MY SCENE IS!!!???????????
EWW! YOU ALL KNOW BRATZ ARE BETTER U JUST DON'T WANT YOUR LIL' BABY TO GROW UP!!
C'MON!
MEYGAN IS THE BOMB! HER CLOTHES MIGHT BE A LITTLE TRASHY BUT YOU CAN FIX THAT WITH BUYING GOOD ONES!!!

THIS DOLL IS AMAZING! I GOT THE NEW BRATZ BOY BRYCE WITH MEYGAN!
I GOT HER FOR CHRISTMAS AND SHE IS JUST A DOLL GET OVER WITH IT! IF YOU DON'T LIKE HER THEN DON'T SEND A REVIEW PEOPLE CAN MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES!

I hate Bratz and I like my scene better, but I'm not writing this review to tell you how much I hate them or anything. Seriously, this is a really trashy concept for a kid's toy. Secret date? Come on! That is stupid. Nothings wrong with dating but this is just retarded. It's sad that the doll is dressed like a hooker that has no self respect. I strongly suggest that this doll puts some REAL clothes on before she goes out with her "secret" date.

OK, secret d8 bratz are just toys and weren't meant to cause problems. I luv bratz. i don't have this doll but i'm gettin it when i hav enuf money. [...]

first of all if you notice this doll has such detail in her face she has this wonderful color of lips these eyes and then her hair the dress mathes her eyes perfectly the doll is beautiful this set is a newer version of bratz a more mature one the doll has great wonderfull creative ideas MGA wanted people to shut up and stop saying bratz were a bad example of dolls or that bratz were little kids and were not great durable fun dolls.if you are a parent and are thinking of buying this doll i recomend her the correct age range is 7 - 13 also parents am sure your kid (s) WILL LOVE THE DOLL . if you are a kid like me and like this dolls ask your parents for this doll or put her in your wish list trust me this doll is well worth the money.

This is a terrible product for little girls. I'll give you my full opinion on Bratz. They are big headed, snap on foot dolls with skinny bodys and ugly, bratty faces!! Barbie and My Scene is way better!
