80s Sighting: Strawberry Shortcake
To be honest, I probably would've been oblivious to the fruit-themed confection throughout the 80s too if I hadn't had a younger sister who was way into her. My only personal memory of the Fraulein of Fraises is a vague recollection of one of my sister's dolls smelling like blueberries.
Anyhow, she's baaaack---with a few choice updates, like trading in the Laura Ingalls look for a snappy mini-dress, poufy newsboy cap, and sassy mary-janes, and losing the stubby red yarn in favor of lucious pink waves.
Does the strawberry princess hold a special place in your memories?
Have you spotted her anywhere while you've been out & about lately?

What do you think of her makeover?

She looks way different. That's not the Strawberry Shortcake I know! Maybe she's hipper now, though.
I guess that's the point.... sell to a new market.
Just not the same :)
