Friday, January 8th, 2010

With many thanks to D7ana, Kim and the internet, the Janay Face Sculpt database is going quite well. There are still a lot more dolls missing and a lot of stock numbers missing, some of the years of released noted are a bit iffy.

If you think you can help me out with this database, please feel free to send me an email! Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Token Color – BB Model 05 & SiS RW Grace

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

In normal human language…

Token Color – one of some ethnicities NOT European-Caucasian (because Caucasians aren’t neccessarily all of European descent even though the common usage of the word implies otherwise).

BB Model 05 & SiS RW Grace – Barbie Basics Model #05 AND So in Style Rocawear Grace

Why is BB Model 05 a token?
She is the only East Asian representation in the Barbie Basics line up of 12 dolls. No South Asian (Desi, Subcontinental, Indian), Eurasian (Central and Western Asia, Native American peoples) or SE/Oceanic Asian (Malay, Polynesian) in the line up even. She is supposed to represent all of Asia’s diversity? Tough job kiddo.

Barbie Basics – Accessories FAIL

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Animals are NOT accessories! They are living breathing beings with personalities, needs, feelings and life spans of years at a minimum!

can you spot the fail?

can you spot the fail?

Repeat, animals are NOT accessories! >:(

Unless of course it’s a stuffed toy… for Mattel’s sake… let’s hope the doggie is supposed to be a stuffed toy… a stuffed toy for a fashionable sophisticated adult woman… yes… very possible… I have lotsa stuffed toys… but then I’m not really fashionable nor sophisticated O_o

Can Takeo Mizutani NOT be a ninja, please?

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Dear Jason Wu, why does the only East Asian guy in your Fashion Royalty series have to be a ninja? Aren’t YOU sick of people thinking all Asians know martial arts and kung fu?

Why couldn’t he be… umm… a designer? Or a photographer… or chef even?

If you ever add a South Asian guy to your set of characters, please don’t make him a call centre guy no matter how exciting his secret identity is… thanks.
