Who asked for This?: Sexed Up Rainbow Brite


Suffering Sappho!

Hallmark, of all companies, thought it was time to "update" Rainbow Brite.

Lady Gaga's lost sister is now tall, thin and model like.




What's next She-Ra the hooker? That could be fun, actually.

Mattel introduce New Black Barbies with features and "long hair"


Mattel has released new black barbie dolls that are diverse in skin tones and features.

Barbie designer Stacey McBride-Irby (I'm jealous, BTW) created the "So In Style" line, which has Grace, Kara and Trichelle, with their little sisters Courtney, Janessa and Kianna.

They are cute and I will get my niece one, but some folks are not feeling them.

"Why are we always pushing this standard of long hair on our girls?" asked Gail Parrish, 60, a playwright in Alexandria, Va., and a mother of four grown children. "Why couldn't one of the dolls have a little short afro, or shorter braids or something?"

McBride-Irby said she originally designed all the dolls with long hair. Combing her Barbie's long hair when she was a girl was the "highlight of my play experience," she said. She was advised to create some dolls with curlier hair, so she did.

Black mothers who want their girls to love their natural hair have an uphill battle and these dolls could make it harder," Parks said in an e-mail. Aside from the hair, some black women are concerned about the dolls' thin frames.

Okay, I get that. However, these dolls are creating a new trend and acceptance of our features. The hair thing will always be an issue, but I think Mattel is heading in the right direction.

Barbie is a Jealous Hooker!


If you haven't heard, Mattel finally won their legal battle with MGA, the makers of the cute and sassy Bratz dolls. Apparently, the creator thought of the dolls while he was still working for Mattel. Once he left Mattel, he started the Bratz.

Suddenly the Bratz took off, surpassing Barbie and other dolls. When Barbie was reduced to sloppy seconds, Mattel decided to try something new, by creating the My Scene dolls and then some urban Barbie-like dolls with fros and dredlocks, both were failures.

So after they realized they couldn't beat the Bratz, they went for plan B. They found out the creator of Bratz was still under their contract and sued him and MGA. Mattel won and now MGA can't make any Bratz dolls after the holidays. Such a bitchy thing to do, Barbie.

DC Comics + Barbie = Harlot


Mattel loves some drama when it comes to the DC Comics. First it was Joker toys for Batman and now, it's the Black Canary Barbie. While comic queers love it, the Christians hate, hate, hate it. Christian Voice is protesting Mattel’s Black Canary collector doll saying:

“Barbie has always been on the tarty side and this is taking it too far. A children’s doll in sexually suggestive clothing is irresponsible – it’s filth.”

Christian Voice, it's a $40 collector's doll!! It's not for kids, it's for people like me!! Go and build a school or something, please.

However, Dinah does look a little Sunset Blvd circa 1978
