The Pussycat Dolls had re-recorded "Don't Cha" in Simlish (as "Do Ba") for inclusion in the computer game The Sims 2: Pets.[96] They also appeared in character form in the video game Asphalt: Urban GT 2 released in November 2006.[97] In a merchandising agreement with Interscope in 2006, toy manufacturer Hasbro planned a line of dolls modeled after the group, reportedly to be marketed to six to nine-year-olds.[98] Two organizations (Dads and Daughters and Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood) successfully lobbied Hasbro to scrap the plan,[99] saying they felt the group would have been inappropriate for children due to the overtly sexual nature of the Pussycat Dolls' songs, videos and performances.[100] Also in 2006, Interscope negotiated a deal with Estée Lauder for a Pussycat Dolls line of cosmetics under the Stila brand.[101] In 2008, Robin Antin and the La Senza Corporation produced a line of Burlesque Pussycat Dolls-styled lingerie called "Shhh...by Robin Antin",[102] and on December 15, Antin released Robin Antin's Pussycat Dolls Workout, which is composed of dancers from the Pussycat Doll Lounge Review including Chrystina Sayers from Girlicious, and features Nicole Scherzinger.[103]




Pussycat Dolls



With the release of their music came much controversy, as terrified parents and Media Watchdogs caused a scene over their explicit outfits, dance moves and song lyrics. What really set them off, though, was the fact that in some instances the Dolls were marketed to girls as young as six. The group were even about to release a line of dolls targeting that age group when various parental organisations caused an outcry, causing them to be shelved. Though other popstars such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera had donned Hotter and Sexier images which pushed the boundaries of taste before, Pussycat Dolls were pretty much the Trope Codifier in making overtly sexual pop with an image to match. 2ff7e9595c
