Dora gets a makeover


Yup, here she is. After all the “teasing” that the new, hot, femme Dora wouldn’t be revealed until Fall, she’s here before Spring. The new Dora is taller, slimmer and little older and has long, flowing hair. Gone are the bowl cut, bermuda shorts and chubby cheeks.
Nickelodeon and Mattel, who own Dora, are attempting to assure concerned parents and teachers that, while Dora may appear to be all glammed up, she hasn’t lost her sense of wonder, adventure or ability to sell products. In fact, they say she “will expand into the world of solving mysteries that have overt and relatable pro-social themes — like volunteerism, water conservation, or planting trees to help the environment.”
