Just as I was complaining about character revamps in my earlier post on the Smurfs movie, American Greetings decided to go and give Strawberry Shortcake a new look — AGAIN. In fact, I had her current image (the middle one) in mind while I was thinking about how ridiculous it is that companies feel it necessary to update their characters with “hip” clothes, etc. Yet now they’ve done it again by giving her hot pink hair (isn’t that more raspberry-esque? Or perhaps watermelon?) and turned her trademark strawberry hat into a baseball cap. I suppose I should give them some credit for styling her t-shirt after her old pinafore, but still. Agh. Not to say the new character isn’t cute, but it’s not Strawberry Shortcake.
Luckily, you can continue to enjoy her classic look with this activity from Strawberry Shortcake’s Busy Book, from 1982.

The images on this frame tray puzzle from 1982 kinda remind me of a spread from Details. (Or, OK, maybe Out.)
