And I’ve always loved Cabbage Patch Kids - their African American dolls are adorable. I was big into stuffed animal collecting and dolls I could hug and love and brush the hair of. Addy is incredible, but if I was a little bella, I wouldn’t know what to do with her. Take the American Girl’s Addy Walker, a beautiful history lesson who comes complete with a book and accessories for $105. Some African American dolls are beautiful, but not so fun to play with. Wouldn’t you know it, someone’s got a doll named Zahara - but it’s of the lifelike and collectible type that just reminds me of that terrifying Twilight Zone episode with Telly Savalas. $31.95, and she’s got awesome hair and style for days. But there are some cute ones to be found there, like theĬecile doll. You just gotta look!Ī first good port of call is the black dolls list, which mostly features fancy collectors type dolls of the sort that terrified me as a child. There are some afrobella-positive dolls, toys, and accessories to be found. And in the meantime in-between time, there’s absolutely no reason to get Baby Z a Barbie or Bratz doll that just reinforces the unbeweaveable standard of beauty for little bellas. So that’s something to look forward to for next year. And her name has been changed from Maddy to Princess Tiana.
I’m gonna need Angelina to get caught up with Afrobella, mkay? I’ve been looking out for Baby Z and little bellas like her for a while now.Īlso, someone might want to let Angelina know that Disney’s first African-American princess movie, The Princess and The Frog, will be released in November 2009. and I look for a Barbie that’s African, and the African Barbie has straight hair! And you know, why has Disney never made a film with an African-American princess? And when it comes to the subject of adoption, like when my daughter, who’s African, wants her hair to look straight like mummy’s. I want to teach them about all religions, and I’m trying to find a way to do that. What about teaching your kids about religion and culture? My amiga Laurencita sent me a link to this interview with Angelina Jolie with the Australian Herald Sun, wherein she discusses her new film The Changeling and the usual topics - life, love, and her ever expanding family. The beautiful little Ethiopian girl that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie adopted has more personality than both her parents put together, if you ask me. And she totally knows about my affectionate obsession with Miss Zahara Marley Jolie Pitt. Thanks and respect to my BFF Lauren - my college partner in crime, friend for life, and self-described “Jewbella” always sends me great Afrobella articles and suggestions.
