Questions & Answers
Question : Are Barbies and Bratz dolls setting a bad example for young girls?
I mean, none of the non-blonde or Ethnic Barbies is as popular as Blonde-haired blue-eyed Barbie, and they never star in the Barbie movies or books. And Bratz dolls never do anything empowering whatsoever - on the back of every Bratz package, no matter the doll, Karate, Genie, Tennis, Punk, is something tying the theme to fashion. I have some younger nieces- should I be concerned about this kind of stereotyping?
Answer:
no-just dolls

Answer:
I think it would be nice if we had more hair style choices

Question : Where can I buy a custom Blythe doll?
My name is Blythe :) And I'd *LOVE* to have a Blythe doll made that looks like me. Unfortunately, the company that makes the dolls doesn't make ethnic dolls. I'm specifically looking for one with a light caramel skin tone and dark, curly hair (I'm mixed).Are there any good sites or artists who create custom Blythe dolls?
Answer:
i suggest you buy a tan-skin blythe doll and you customize it yourself. it's not very hard and you can find anything you might need on hong kong ebay.

Question : What are popular retail items for these ethnic backgrounds?
Navtive american FrenchMexican(I'm asking because our school is doing a fundraiser. They are calling it Unity in the Community. They've asked people of different backgrounds to offer up items for sale of different ethnics. Since we are mixed, we have not really concentrated on one background.) Please help us come up with ideas (food/accessories/clothing/dolls/jewelry/ect.) to sell. This is our background. Thanks!
Answer:
Let's see. I live in Oklahoma where there are an abundance of Native Americans, i think turquoise/silver jewelry and seed-bead jewelry would be a hit, especially if native-made, beef jerky, anything made with buffalo meat, fry-bread mixes, native pottery and baskets, native music cd's, artwork such as greeting cards or prints would be good too, natural soaps, candles, and oils, and medicine bags. For Mexican fundraisers try selling spices mixes (fajita, peppers, cumin, etc.) and tamales, brightly-colored pottery and jewelry, Mexican music cd's, and artwork. Don't know much about French, wine and cheese and French breads such as baguettes and croissants come to mind, perhaps sandwiches made with croissants. Maybe some artwork in a French-style.

Question : Do u think Palin would be happy if dolls were being made representing her kids, or upset like the First Lady?
NBCChicago.comupdated 9:10 a.m. ET, Mon., Jan. 26, 2009First lady Michelle Obama is not pleased about the marketing of a pair of dolls that bear the same names as her daughters.“We believe it is inappropriate to use young private citizens for marketing purposes,” Ms. Obama’s spokeswoman said.Ty Inc. has released the 12-inch plush dolls as part of the company's “TyGirlz Collection,” introduced in 2007. The Sasha doll has pigtails and wears a white and pink dress with hearts. The Malia doll has a side ponytail and a long-sleeve shirt with capri pants.The Oak Brook-based company chose the dolls' names because “they are beautiful names,” not because of any resemblance to President Obama's daughters, said spokeswoman Tania Lundeen.“There's nothing on the dolls that refers to the Obama girls,” Lundeen said. “It would not be fair to say they are exact replications of these girls. They are not.”Public figures have a legal right to control how their images are used, but Lundeen would not comment on legal issues or if the company's lawyers have become involved with the dolls.“I'm not an attorney. I can't answer that,” she said.The dolls have "real doll hair" and the suggested retail price is $9.99, Lundeen said. The dolls were introduced in early January and a limited supply has been shipped to retailers.Beanie Babies, small plush toys that developed a cult following after they were released in 1994, have reportedly generated sales of at least $6 billion for Ty, Crain's Chicago Business reported.In the real world, 7-year-old Sasha and 10-year-old Malia have been the focus of intense interest. A throng of reporters followed their first day at school. News reports detailed what they wore on Inauguration Day.That fascination will make the Ty dolls a success, said Denise Gary Robinson, president of DollsLikeMe.com, an online specialty doll boutique that specializes in ethnic dolls, toys and gifts.“Girls all over the world, of all colors, will be looking for these dolls. They want to identify with these two girls,” Robinson said.
Answer:
Considering how proud she is of Trig, dragging him everywhere she went, I'd be tempted to say yes. But then, in light of the fact that she won't even release one picture of her grandchild I'd be inclined to say no. So, it's a wash.

Question : Where can I get ethnic Korean baby dolls for my adopted daughter.?
Even though we live in the heart of New York City, a mile and a half from Korea-town, I still can't find any dolls for my daughter that are ethnically Korean, other than expensive display knick-knacks. Even generic "Asian" dolls are thin on the ground. Any suggestions?
Answer:
There are several websites that sell multicultural products and toys, especially geared for adopted kids. You could try http://www.storesonline.com/site/480020/page/536592Multicultural Kids:http://www.multiculturalkids.com/shop/customer/home.phpAsia For Kids - DOES have dolls from Korea!: http://www.afk.com/

Question : If you have a little girl who is "of color", question about dolls?
If you are black, hispanic, E. Indian, african, etc. and have a little girl do you find it necessary to buy ONLY ethnic looking dolls for them? I'm black and my 3 yo daughter is half black and half E. Indian so her color looks like a black girl. I grew up playing with black, white and brownish colored dolls and had no problem with it. To me a doll is a doll and that's how I think little girls see it too. However, my husband who is black thinks she absolutely HAS TO HAVE a black doll. We had an argument in the middle of Toys 'R Us on Saturday because they had ALL white dolls and NO black dolls. And to my embarassment he even got a stock guy to get up on a latter to look on the top shelves for a black doll. She has 2 or 3 black dolls & 1 white one which she picked out herself so it's not like she even cares to find one that looks remotely close to her. I don't give a flying fig what color she gets but he seems to think she'll suffer some identity crisis if she plays with white ones.
Answer:
My husbands granddaughter (who is 8 y/o) is mixed race (black and white) and she plays with all kinds of dolls. She has black dolls, Hispanic dolls, and white dolls. She loves those Bratz dolls the best. I don't think it has anything to do with the color of the doll, just that it's a doll. I think your husband is the one with the issue here. Yes, I think ALL kids (no matter what their color/race) should know of their heritage and background. But I don't think what color doll they played with as a kid is what's going to teach it to them. If he wants to instill a pride in her race, then he needs to teach her about her background. By him showing the preference in color of a doll, the only thing he's teaching her is that one color is more important than another, and we have WAY too much of that here as it is. He needs to teach her that all people are important no matter what their color/race. I wish you the best of luck in this & God bless.

Question : "Baby Think It Over" Realistic Baby Dolls for Teens?
when I was in high school, we did a project called "baby think it over". The project was for about 2 days and it was to lower the risk of teen pregnancies. we got to choose any realistic baby dolls of all ethnic backgrounds and a key was attached to our wrist. If we cut out the key, we would fail. Then we had to take the baby with us everywhere we went and we slept with it too. Everytime the baby cries, we would stick the key on the doll's back and leave it there until it was finished feeding. At the end of the project, there is a machine that totals how many times you abandoned it and how many times it's been fed. **Did you guys have to do this project for school or know someone who has?If yes, how did you do on it? Did you pass?The baby doll would cry at random hours, sometimes every hour. at one time it cried every 20 minutes.
Answer:
I had to do it in eighth grade and so did my brother. My brother did "okay" and I passed with no problem. Our dolls had two lights in their backs that told our teacher when the baby had been "abused" (hit or dropped) and when it had been "neglected," (left to cry for longer than 1 1/2 minutes). There was a key that was attached to our wrist with a hospital type band and was to NEVER be taken off or you would fail. This way no one else could take care of your baby for you. We had it for two days and were also given a diaper bag with two changes of clothes and diapers, etc. We even had preemies who required to be fed even more often than the full term babies. So it sucked if you got the preemie. They all weighed around 6 or 7 pounds and we had to take them home with us and to all of our classes. It was pretty cool I thought....but then again I am a girl and loved babies so I didnt mind it at all. I know they are still doing it here where I live b/c my friends 13 year old daughter just finished doing it a few weeks ago.
