one of my favorite models Jaslene Gonzalez
Mattel launched a new version of black barbie dolls with fuller lips, a wider nose and more pronounced cheek bones. The Barbie designer Stacy McBride-Irby wanted to create a line of dolls for young black girls who look like them…
My question is what about the young black or hispanic girls who dont look like these barbie dolls? What do you tell them?
what is your opinion on the issue?
read in class an article about Mattel Barbie and how the company decided to incorporate other nationalities with in the barbie world such as hispanic barbie and black barbie. look what they came up with…….crazy
I found this when i searched latina tags
Searching The Latina Tag
I find it very interesting that when i look up the latina tag icon tumblr . A website, with thousands of blogs, the majority of posts i find are of half naked, or fully naked young latina. Described as thick as they take photos at clubs, or shove their fingers in their vagina’s at home on their couches. I dont know what I was expecting, but I can guarentee it wouldnt be that.
What do you think about that?
Is this surprising to you?
Do you think this is a negative or an accurate portrayal of young latina women?
Would you post photos of yourself like that on the web?
