Line #3 YMMV/PussycatDolls


1	* FanNickname: Each girl (excepting Nicole) had an unofficial nickname - see [[https://youtu.be/X6zmWPknBK0 this video]] where each girl gets a feature/allusion to their nickname/"role" in the group.:
2	** Carmit Bachar: "Foxy Doll"
3	** Kimberly Wyatt: "Punky/Freaky/Flexi Doll"
4	** Ashley Roberts: "Angel Doll"
5	** Jessica Sutta: "Pin-Up Doll"
6	** Melody Thornton: "Baby Doll"
7	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The group are most popular in the United Kingdom.
8	* HarsherInHindsight:
9	** [[http://www.eonline.com/ca/news/887094/former-pussycat-dolls-member-kaya-jones-calls-the-group-a-prostitution-ring Former member Kaya Jones (who left the group before they became famous)]] accused Robin Antin of pimping the members out (calling her "the den mother from hell"), and insinuated that this was the reason that Simone Battle committed suicide. She later [[https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/pussycat-dolls-kaya-jones-abortion-regrets-slave-1235196257/ alleged]] she had been "strongly encouraged" to have an abortion during her time in the group, with the moment she decided she was done was when she saw two very young girls in the audience during a show, and the shock of realizing how young they were, the overly sexual material the group was performing, and the emotional impact of losing her own child overwhelmed her.
10	*** Robin Antin issued a rapid rebuttal to Jones' claim, saying [[https://www.etonline.com/pussycat-dolls-founder-robin-antin-slams-kaya-jones-claims-group-was-prostitution-ring-89298 Jones was]] ''never'' an actual member of the group and simply looking for 15 minutes of fame by making false claims. [[BrokenBase Some fans would express their discomfort]] with how Jones would later join a pro-life advocacy group and become an ambassador for the [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump National Diversity Coalition for Trump]], saying she felt that her time in the group made her feel "tainted" and "sexually overly-perverse", giving her low self-esteem which "[lead] to promiscuity".
11	** The last song off the first release of ''Doll Domination''? Called "I'm Done". Pretty much sums up how the other girls felt by that point.
12	* HilariousInHindsight: Carmit has said several times in interviews that while she has faith that there will be a Pussycat Dolls reunion, [[https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/361211/Carmit-Bachar-Nicole-Scherzinger-won-t-be-part-of-Pussycat-Dolls-reunion it will be without Nicole]]. This becomes funnier in hindsight as seven years later, [[https://edition.cnn.com/2019/11/26/entertainment/pussycat-dolls-reunion/index.html the group would be reuniting and yes, it would be with Nicole]], though [[https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/nicole-scherzinger-confirms-pussycat-dolls-20977571 without Melody]].
13	* MemeticMutation: Comments about Nicole being the face of the band, especially jokes wondering what the other members even contributed to the band.
14	* OvershadowedByControversy: Or tragedy in this case, nowadays the only thing people remember about G.R.L. is the tragic suicide of Simone Battle and the group splitting nine months after her death. They have tried to reform twice, but have so far been overshadowed by Simone's death.
15	* SignatureSong: "Don't Cha" - so much so it's CoveredUp the Tori Alamaze original, which was based on [[Music/SirMixALot Sir Mix-A-Lot's]] "Swass." "When I Grow Up", "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)", and Buttons" are also popular.
16	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: At one stage it was proposed that a line of dolls (yes, ''[[AccidentalPun actual]]'' dolls) based on the group be released for the under-ten set for Christmas one year. Parental groups almost ''immediately'' shot that idea down.
