It would have been awsome if one of the new So In Style dolls had short kinky hair. I would have NEEDED to own one if they had one with dreadlocks. They are getting heat for the hair being too straight and not enough like the natural hair of a black person. The problem is that it comes down to the iritating words "Will it sell?" Most little girls like to play with their dolls' hair and straight hair is the easiest to style with. What if they make dolls with kinky hair or dreadlocks and the kids pass them over for straight haired dolls? They could do cornrows/microbraids but I have a sneaking suspicion that they might just get pulled out once the kids get to them so the hair could be combed. -_-

 

I supose they could have passed on the hair styling playsets beacause of the hair straightening controversy but I have the feeling that those sets are still going to sell quite well. I'm curious how they are doing the effect this time round. Dolls with hair that can be magically curled don't seem to work well these days. I think someone had BratzWorldYahoo figured out that to get the Magic Magic Bratz to hold a curl for 10 minutes you had to leave the curler in for a hour or something pathetic like that. There SHOULD be something more reliable, I mean, that doesn't use copper wire woven in like the old Quick Curl Barbies.

 

Yeah! My catagories have come back! I haven't tagged everything but I figure they should still make finding things a wee more easier.
