Flashdance Jennifer Beals to be Barbiefied… in white
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010As part of their Ladies of the 80′s Barbie doll series, Mattel is making a miniature Alex Owens as played by Jennifer Beals from the iconic 1980′s movie Flashdance (1983).
The doll looks like this…
Basically that’s…
... this face...
… in that same pale skin tone too…
… wearing…
... this outfit...
(plus black singlet under the grey sweater and black leg warmers)
Token Color – BB Model 05 & SiS RW Grace
Thursday, December 31st, 2009In 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.

What Happened to the Olmec Corporation?
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009This is one of those “I don’t know the answer and I hope you do” type of questions…
Recently, I’d purchased an Imani & Menelik set from a fellow collector. They were made by a company called the Olmec Corporation. I jumped onto google and found… pretty much nothing about them.
Menelik & Imani - fortunately NOT in neon colours
