She’s lovely! I woulda bugged and bugged my mom and grandma to get her for me! Diwali Barbie would have been one of my many non-caucasian dolls.
That’s one of the first Barbies that doesn’t completely look like they just dipped the original model in a vat of differently-ethnic plastic.
Plastic comes in ethnicities?
Plastics do. Haven’t you watched the 2024 release of Mean Girls yet?
Usually not a fan of Barbie but there’s something about this one I like. She’s understated. Very chic. Cheers to Ms. Dongre.
I haven’t.
I will, I mean I probably will, maybe.
They still can’t do feet.
Nicely inclusive, but as always it seems, starvation-level skinny.
At least the modren Barbies aren’t as absurdly pneumatic as their older sisters were, including my childhood Ballerina and Malibu Barbies.
