In the clip above, Tina says that while she was doing the Bazaar shoot she thought, "Yeah, I look like this!" ... then they turn the wind machine off.

Below, she explains that her daughter is now old enough to pick her own Halloween costume, so the days of stuffing her in a ham sandwich costume and laughing at her are over. Tina doesn't want her to go as a "Barbie butterfly princess," but at least she doesn't want to be one of the Girls Next Door.

But what seismic phenomena could possibly wreak such catastrophe in both the dollscape and the hearts of Bratz-obsessed girls around the world? Aggressive eyebrows and suggestive lips, lawyers argue for starters:

MGA attorneys countered that the jury should award Mattel as little as $30 million because MGA had built the doll line's value with smart additions, branding and packaging. MGA attorney Thomas Nolan said the company made crucial decisions about the Bratz look that weren't included in Bryant's specs. Without the changes, Bratz would have been a bust, he said.

"The evidence is uncontroverted that the drawings portray older, edgier, sexier dolls," he said. "The eyebrows were way too aggressive, the lips way too pronounced, the face way too harsh. What (MGA) made is a prettier doll that could compete."

The original four dolls expanded to nearly 40 Bratz characters, MGA said, and that drove sales among girls who had to have the latest model. ... "Something else is going on besides Mattel's property in contributing to sales," [MGA attorney Raoul] Kennedy said. "Themes make a difference."

No kidding: The AP reports that Barbie sales are down since the launch of Bratz and their subsequent spin-offs seven years ago, declining 15% in 2007 and 12% in the first quarter of '08 alone. But a forthcoming jury award will reverse a good portion of that, especially after withering testimony from noted karma seismologist Sharon Stone singled out the Bratz movie as an underhanded, "not very nice"tactic in the cutthroat race for tween dollars. That does it — they'll be collector's items by Christmas.
