It's A Girl Thing: Tween Queens and the Commodification of the Girl's Tween Market

A few years of research, thoughts and adjustments that all led to a completed film which, framed by the structure of a faux interactive website for tween girls, looks closely, and critically, at the tween market's evolution and the role of Disney and Nickelodeon's tween queens (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Miley Cryus, Miranda Cosgrove, Kiki Palmer, Selena Gomez, and more) in the market's explosion.

War of the wardrobe, Jan 31 2003
Reviewer: A customer
Ever been pushed to wear something you don't even like one bit? Mary- Kate and Ashley did by having to wear uniforms. But they are going to stop it. Mary-Kate and Ashley and their friends held up signs and made deals. One of them was that Ashley had to make a new design for the uniforms. What will happen?
I liked this book because they didn't just stand there and let something they didn't like happen. They didn't want uniforms! Even if they got in trouble they still didn't want uniforms.
I would suggest this book to people who are into fashion and wardrobes and chapter books. If you want to find out what happens read War of the Wardrobe. Have fun!_
