 The name of this website, Bratz Heaven, emerged after Robyn went to a Target Department Store one day and was surrounded by shelves and aisles of Bratz dolls and Bratz merchandise. She remarked, "Today, I went to Target and was in Bratz HEAVEN!" (for more information, see this message).- Robyn owes the entire Bratz Funk Out! collection and Bratz Wild Life Safari Meygan to the creation of Bratz Heaven. Everything on the website is based on Bratz Funk Out!.
- Robyn does not update Bratz Heaven on any date whose multiple is seven (e.g., 6/7/2004), or where the numbers in the date add up to a number equal to seven (e.g., 1/1/2003: 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 7) or a multiple of seven (e.g., 8/25/2004: 8 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 4 = 21). Seven is Robyn's unlucky number, and Robyn claims that updating the website where the number seven is in any way involved brings her bad luck.
- All of the webpages, graphics, videoclips, photography, fan fiction, etc. on Bratz Heaven is done by Robyn herself.
- Robyn does photography of her Bratz dolls on either cloudy days or during sunrise or sunset. This is because the sunlight creates unwanted shadows on the doll's faces. She also does photography of her Bratz dolls in various locations without using the same location to take photos of different dolls.
- In Robyn's Bratz fan fiction "Meygan's Story," the Bryant Statue in the chapter titled "Rollerblading Fun" is named after Carter Bryant, who is the artist and designer of the Bratz dolls. The message engraved on the statue, "Lettam go, Bob," is in reference to Carter's legal troubles with Mattel for breaching his contract with the company to join MGA Entertainment. Lettam is Mattel spelled backwards, as Robyn's impression of the direction that Mattel is going compared to MGA Entertainment; Bob is Robert Eckert, the CEO of Mattel. Hence, "Lettam go, Bob" is interpreted as "Let him go, Bob," implying that Mattel should just let Carter go and do his thing with MGA Entertainment, since Carter is the nucleus behind the MGA Entertainment's phenomenal success.
- Robyn's Bratz fan fiction contains several other references to employees at MGA Entertainment, all existing within Stiles City, a place within her entire Bratz Heaven universe where she is able to write about the daily lives of Cloe, Sasha, Yasmin, Jade, and the rest of the Bratz Pack. Examples:
- Isaac Larian: Larian Center For Performing Arts & Sciences
- Jasmin Larian: Jasmin's Fountain
- Sidney A. Kaufman: Kaufman Square / The Kaufman Trolleys
- Ronald Brawer: Brawer Mansion
- Moira Delaney: Delaney Avenue / Delaney Bridge
- Dave Malacrida: Malacrida Boulevard / Malacrida Borough
- Paula Garcia: Garcia's Village
- Mel Woods: The Mel Woods Tunnel
- David Oakes: Oakes Arborteum
- Alvarez Parkway: Rebecca Alvarez
- David Mazalian: Mazalian Mausoleum
- It took twenty revisions to translate the lyrics to the track "Bein' Who We Are" in Robyn's Bratz fan fiction "Yasmin's Story" — this because Robyn could not understand a single word in the track that was being sung. MGA Entertainment provided Robyn with the correct lyrics.
- Upon the grand opening of Bratz Heaven, Robyn tried promoting the Bratz Heaven website as a way to spread the word about how great the Bratz dolls were. And Robyn had hoped that she would share her love of Bratz dolls with other Bratz fans around the world. Six months after the website's grand opening, Robyn felt that her efforts to promote Bratz Heaven had failed and was so disappointed in her efforts that she believed Bratz Heaven was an overall failure. Robyn has since retracted all promotions of Bratz Heaven and now presents the website "as is," figuring that the best and simplest way for her to promote Bratz Heaven is to let the website speak for itself. Since then, the website has averaged around 500,000 hits per month.
