Like most old holidays, the real meaning fades out with time and it gets altered by the interpretation of the current generation celebrating it.
I'm aware of the background of the event (and quite said they replaced the dolls with pop-idols... I liked the Edvya-stories a lot better, but personal taste I guess) - I just wanted to point out how I'm not seeing the "praising women"-angle in having a girly band on stage...
