When Dora isn’t exploring the kitchen, she apparently likes to dress up. She was recently spotted by paparazzi stepping out in a flower girl outfit, which is no surprise given her recent collection aimed at dressing up for the red carpet. I still liked her better when she was an explora!

Speaking of gender roles…
Oh, Dora, I remember when you were young and spent all of your time exploring and avoiding Swiper with Map, Backpack, and Boots. Of course, everybody has to grow up sooner or later, but I had hoped that when you got older your adventures would continue. It seems, however, that your most recent adventure is focused on the kitchen. There isn’t anything wrong with being able to cook, but I am concerned that you are expected to provide all of the food at the picnics, birthdays, and barbeques that you have with your friends and family. Why isn’t Diego helping? You can be so much more! Just look how happy construction made this girl!
