Are you kidding? Drew Barrymore is SICK! My girlfriend absolutely adores her and has for years, so her hosting a pokemon event is basically mine and Kasinda's favourite things coming together! XD

Drew is a very big advocate for gender equality/gender neutral things, so I think that the unisex aspect appealed to her. She also has young children, so it's very possible that they are into Pokemon.

@Pokemon Trainer Sarah I think there's a huge difference between the marketing of clothes that are typically worn by both genders as "male," "female," or "unisex." For instance, when all the Star Wars merch came out, 80% of ALL clothes were "men's shirts." "Men's pyjamas." "Men's this, men's that." They had a few shirts for little girls which were pink and sparkly and gross (and what the heck, one at Target had a picture of Luke and Leia with a HEART AROUND THEM), and yes, I still got men's clothes. But do you know what? I still got the "men's" ones, but it would have been nice if they were just unisex, because then I wouldn't have felt so...I don't know, a little out of place. Mind you, they all sit way too high to my neck, they're all slightly misshapen for my body, and half of them are WAY too big even though they're the smallest size, which is a specific men's design, but I put up with it. Hopefully something marketed as unisex would be better fitting for all genders.

If you market a certain shirt to ONE gender, is the other gender going to think it's for them? Sure, they could, but it's going to look so much more appealing if it was simply neutral. ESPECIALLY when it comes to children. There have been studies to show that if a child is told that a certain toy is made for their gender, they will naturally perform better at it. And it's not that I hate that they're marketed to men--I hate that the four Star Wars tops I got for Christmas are all for "men" instead of just being designed for whoever. If they were unisex, maybe they'd fit me better! But there were no unisex clothes. There were pink, sparkly ones for girls and ALL the awesome designs for males. And like I said, none of those fit me properly. xD


Personally I think it makes a lot of sense to me, even if it's a surprise, but that's because I actually know stuff about Drew. xD (Thanks, Kas!) Also I would HATE to think that there's a certain "pokemon celebrity demographic" that somehow excludes her. >.> What the heck does that mean? Also, why is nail art weird? o.o Do you know HOW many people paint their nails? A lot. Women and men. I think there's nothing weird about any of this; I just think it's awesome!
