Many moms “of color” have opposed Barbie because they say she represents a beauty ideal that their daughters can never attain (and look natural trying): blue eyes and blond hair.
However, a few year’s after her introduction, Mattel introduced a doll with darker complexion.

Asian parents wanted in too and wondered when Barbie would come in a version that resembled their little girls. In 2010, Mattel released its first ever Asian doll, a Ken version, which many Asians complained should’ve been dressed like a modern Asian man in a t-shirt and jeans and not a Kabuki-looking, domo outfit.
Over the years, Mattel has released various ethnic dolls, though for collectors and not commercial sale.

When I stand beside you and hear you speak, I feel honored. Words can’t begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for you being an amazing man and provider each and every day. Thank you for all that you do. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in life.”

We send out condolences on this loss.
Congratulations to rapper Foxy Brown who gave birth to a baby girl though no one even knew she was pregnant.
This morning on the Wendy Williams Show, the radio host turned talk show host discussed why Foxy turned down her offer to perform one of her most famous tracks on the show: she was pregnant!
“Literally, as I’m putting on my bracelet, the telephone rings,” Williams told her audience today. “Congratulations to Foxy Brown. She had a baby girl. No word on exactly who the baby’s father is, but allegedly it’s a reggae star and I’m not going to say his name because I think that me and Foxy have some sort of relationship, and the bureau does have a working telephone. So, maybe she’ll call us.”
Brown, who was most famous during the 1990s as one of the very few successful female rappers, suffered some hearing loss and actually was recently hospitalized a few months ago, but seemed to be in good health soon after.
Fox seemingly was negatively mentioned by Remy Ma on the Love and Hip Hop: NY reality TV star’s recent “SHEther” diss track with a reference to a “deaf” and not battling with the “impaired” but Brown took the high road and opted out of snapping back.
She was probably too busy being a mom.
Congrat! Can’t wait to see the new baby!

Chyna’s best friend Sylvia Karapetian organized the cloud-themed event which featured decadent desserts, cloud-shaped cookies, a cupcake tower and more. The bar was stocked with Moet, Ciroc and top shelf premium alcohol for friends.
The intimate affair was attended by 80 guests including Rob’s friend Scott Disick (ex-boyfriend to his sister Kourtney Kardashian and dad to his nephew and nieces), E! News reported. Rob’s sisters Kourtney, Kylie, Kendall and Kim were at Paris Fashion Week.
There was a very unique 7-layer topsy turvy cake, balloons in the shape of clouds over the pool and floral arrangements in the shape of clouds. There was a photo booth for kids to
“Rob has been involved in the planning. He really wants Chyna to be happy and he has been helping with the small details so that everything is to her liking,” an insider told E! prior to the bash. “He really wants it to be a special day for her.”
Guests brought several designer and upscale gifts. (see video below). Looks like it was a success and E! News sources said the couple were very affectionate towards one another and Rob seemed very pleased to becoming a dad.
“It was such a fun party. Rob and Chyna had the best time. Rob and Scott arrived together right at the beginning and Rob was the last to leave,” a source shared with E! News. “He was so happy, very very excited about being a dad. Scott kept teasing him and saying “Bob, you are about to be a dad!”
Recall, last week, Rob had a mini melt down and tweeted out his half-sister Kylie’s number out when he mistakenly thought his sisters were planning a shower without inviting Chyna but he told On Air with Ryan Secrest.
“It was miscommunication,” Rob told Secrest on his daily radio show. “They were trying to all surprise me and do a little shower … I took it the wrong way because it was a surprise, so I thought they weren’t going to have Chyna there.”
At least Rob manned up to the very juvenile mistake.
“It was literally miscommunication and I probably shouldn’t have went on Twitter, but I did,” he admitted. “We all love each other and we’re all family and I never want to beef or argue with anybody.”
Chyna and Rob got engaged in April after three months of dating and announced they’re expecting the next month.
Check out the photos that various guests and vendors shared on Instagram, including photos of a maternity shoot they did with PEOPLE magazine.
MTV is taking its hit show Teen Mom across the pond. The music cable network, known more for its revolutionary and break-thru reality Television shows, announced that it will launch its Brit version in Autumn 2016.
“We’ll use this expertise to give Teen Mom a fresh lease of life, combined with a unique British twist, which we’re confident will have massive appeal to local audiences,” MTV UK‘s Jill Offman said. “MTV UK has a great track record of re-versioning hit shows from our sister channel in the U.S. – we turned Jersey Shore into Geordie Shore and smashed ratings records in the process.”
There have been 12 seasons of Teen Mom, which started as a short run docu-series called 16 and Pregnant, and it has spun off several celebrities: Farrah Abraham, Jenelle Evans, Caitlynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra, Amber Portwood, Maci Bookout and Leah Messer.
If you’re biggest star from the show is beefing with Nicki Minaj, that’s winning, um…we guess. (snark)
And MTV is asking for Brit teen moms to apply. Oh boy!
What do you think? Excited? Bad idea?
Tomorrow is the MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) and in an effort to combat all the negativity shared by and between young girls and women in social media, Dove wants to shift the dialogue from all the recent controversial headlines related to Miley vs. Nicki, Nicki vs. Taylor, Taylor vs. Katy, or any combination of the three.
They recognize that loads of real girls and even celebs like P!nk and Selena Gomez have recently been the victims of social media attacks based on their looks alone.
During the VMAs this weekend, Dove is encouraging women and girls to #SpeakBeautiful when posting comments about other women on Twitter. The #SpeakBeautiful campaign launched earlier this year on Oscar night and we’re taking it to the next big event, the VMAs, to help change the social media conversation that affects our self-esteem.
In fact, we know 8 out of 10 women encounter negativity on social media that is hurtful/destructive to their self-esteem and it’s time for a change.
Since it launched the campaign, Dove states it has seen 69% more positive Tweets pertaining to how women talk about their own appearance, versus the previous year.
Tomorrow, @Dove on Twitter plans to monitor the language said about women by other women.
Join in and Be Kind.
#SpeakBeautiful
