Having two daughters has surrounded me with baby dolls, Barbie’s, butterflies, rainbows and glitter glue for 10 years.

I was unaware, until now, that a decade of exposure to this life has stripped me of any male persona I may have had. Why do I bring this up?

I have been working on the personalized background themes for the kids on KidZentral . I find that I have no idea what boys are interested in these days and find it hard to decide on themes that would interest them, other than sports icons (NFL, MLB, NBA). When I was ten, it was "The Dukes of Hazzard" and Atari. Any insight anyone could suggest would be helpful.

In spite of a man's natural tendency to be drawn to cars, big machines and power tools, I find myself gleefully searching for anything that sparkles. And that is no help to me.
