Designer Stacey Maiyi and Her Black Barbie Dolls
Barbie dolls have become the craze all over the world Since half a century ago, and has almost become the favorite of girls in the world, as well as become a symbol of women in the United States.
However, almost all Barbie dolls are blond, blue-eyed white. Recently, a designer launched a series of black Barbie dolls, with more fullness lips, wider nose, and more prominent cheekbones, which will be the first time toy maker Mattel to sell non-white Barbie dolls.
The designer Stacey Maiyi herself is also a black, she hoped to create a series of dark-skinned Barbie dolls. She said: “I want my daughter and all dark-skinned children in the world can see their own shadow on these Barbie dolls, so that they will know that black is also a beauty.”
Stacy’s design includes brown, chocolate and light brown and etc colored Barbie dolls, all of them were been designed into figures of having been educated as well as have professional thoughts. Public opinion believe that these black Barbie dolls will become models of black women; but there are also some other voices: ”these dolls are not black enough”.
In addition, over the years Barbie dolls have caused much criticisms for their unrealistic body style (long legs, slender waist and big breasts), so some people expressed their worry that the black Barbie dolls will also cause complications to black girls on their own body shape.
