Your spin on TLC's marketing to girls is interesting.  Although you and your • wife
find it objectionable, I and my daughter don't.  In fact, I would say that • the

OTOH, my daughter (now 15) looks with scorn on the "girls" Lego sets.
She likes space themes - realistic ones, not sci-fi. In fact she also
scorns the Lego female faces, calling them "lipstick babes". (She also
scorns Barbie and other "girls stuff" and always has, although I
wouldn't call her a tomboy). Interestingly, though, when she builds her
own spaceships, she's far more interested in building the interiors than
the exteriors, and they are exploration ships, not fighting ships.

I'm a boy and I like building interior more than exterior (you'll see some of
that in Seaborn Brick) I once built a recreation of the dinning room in the
movie "THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE" Down to every detail...plates, cups,
decorations on the walls, even all the chracters from the movie!!
Then I turned the whole thing upsidedown, took some pictures, and had a mini
Poseidon Adventure....(I should really get the pictures up)....
So I'm more geared towards interior....the destroying all of it!
