Jade’s Jewelry - Your Bratz birthday party guests will have a lot of fun with this trend-setting activity! All you’ll need is string and enough beads so each guest can make at least one piece of jewelry. Hobby stores often sell large bags of beads for this type of activity, or you can choose them individually. Look for beads with letters, beads that sparkle or shine, and beads with unique shapes. At the party, use the materials to make necklaces, bracelets, anklets, chokers, etc. If you wish, pre-cut lengths of string to fit wrists, necks, ankles, etc.

The plot of Bratz is as simple as one might expect from a half-assed Mean Girls knockoff. Four BFFs (Best Friends Forever!) start their first day at Carry Nation High School by coordinating their outfits online. When they arrive at school, the four girls stroll confidently past the cliques of jocks, cheerleaders, brains, and emos like three Heathers and a Veronica, with everyone looking at them and declaring: “They’re awesome!” However, the school’s reigning princess and the principal’s daughter, Meredith Baxter Dimly (Chelsea Staub), just won’t stand for the disruption of the clique system by any individual expression. So Meredith uses her foolproof system to manipulate the four BFFs into different cliques: Sasha (Logan Browning) is black and has the jammin moves, so she of course joins the cheerleaders; Jade (Janel Parrish) is Asian and super smart, so she falls in with the geeks; Chloe (Skyler Shaye) is the ditzy blonde who becomes a soccer star; and Yasmin (Nathalia Ramos) does nothing and has no friends but, since she’s half-Hispanic, she might find solace with the mariachi band that hangs out in her kitchen. Yasmin ... has a grandma (Lanie Kazan) to sing “La Cucaracha” with at the most inopportune moments, such as when they both are wearing either beauty masks or guacamole on their faces. This is heavy, confusing stuff, people.

Retailing around £7.99, Bratz Babyz were launched in February and charted immediately at number 15 in the Top 50 despite severe stock shortages. The product range is ... a huge hit in the U.S.A and shortages are inevitable in the coming months. Based on current performance Vivid have stated that they believe the Bratz toy brand could exceed £90 million in retail sales this year ie nearly 5% of the total toy market.

Thematic elements in Bratz can generally be characterized as family issues and coming-of-age issues. Sasha's parents are divorced, and she often has to be a messenger between them. Jade's parents are very conservative, so she has to change her outfit, apply make-up and re-do her hair after she gets to school each day. Cloe's single mom struggles to make ends meet, and all the girls struggle with navigating the unknown territory of high school.

Cloe is one of the original Bratz that appears in this product line; she looks snug in her little pink and orange jacket and matching accessories. Her long blonde hair and bright blue eyes make her as pretty as ever, and the matching pink lipstick is more subtle than her usual bright red - which is definitely a better look for her. The fluffy boots and trendy knee length socks are a great look! Phoebe ... looks fab with her gorgeous red/brown hair plaited in cute pigtails. Her little red mini dress and suede fur coat are accessorised with cream fluffy boots and a red chequered hat. Felicia wears an amazing outfit with a great colour scheme; her scarf is full of bright pinks, blues and greens and she wears a matching green hat.
