Alpha Kappa Alpha Barbie Doll – Photos

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

It seems like a lot of people keep this doll in the box (and oh yes, it is a very pretty and shiny box too) so I thought I’d share some DEBOXED photos of this little lady.

AKA and Vogue Dolly Goodness

Thursday, August 6th, 2009
did some shopping...

did some shopping...

Vogue Italia July ed. Air Mail rate – AUD $33
(well, actually that’s nothing special because Vogue Italia Air Mail mags always cost that much)

AKA doll Pink Label 2008 – AUD $125
A doll that originally cost about USD $50 and is PINK LABEL now goes for more than USD $200 ALWAYS on e(vil)bay – that usually means more than AUD $300 – in other words “I ain’t got that kinda cash!!!” but now she’s mine at last! (yeah, I know it’s only been a year since her release)

… credit card is now is massive pain yet again *cri cri* (ha! it wasn’t even my cash to begin with *sighs*)

Would it be weird if I wanna keep these two items on the pillow (well, maybe bedside table) while I sleep tonight? LOL *hides*

My New Dolls! POP Christie, Kentucky & FR Luchia

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Finally, my POP Christie, Kentucky Derby along with FR Future Bound Luchia Z. dolls have arrived…

I was waiting for POP Christie to come home so I can finally start writing about dolls in blackface, as in dolls that are of a Caucasian mould but made out of brown plastic. I don’t doubt that there are dark skinned people who have these features but these features are more associated with people of European heritage rather than African ancestry.

Then I can go on (when Arctic Barbie arrives) about how weird it is that dolls that are supposed to be Native American look more East Asian than the dolls that are supposed to be East Asian – yellowface anyone? (I will try to avoid muttering incoherently about various theories involving Indigenous Americans, Mongolians and the Qing Dynasty).

Oh yeah, and Luchia – doll of no-color – will also get a post, how seriously undead does she look? *grins*

Aside – although these dolls are examples of the Eurocentric standards of beauty imposed on black women, I have no intention of selling them. BTW would anyone have an AKA Centennial SKU #L9657 doll they wish to sell (to me)?
