She fiiiiine thanna beeeeetch...

Mattel is coming out with a new line of black Barbie dolls made to look more like actual black people. The dolls have thick lips, wide noses, kinkier hair, and ASS AND HIPS FOR DAYZZZZZ defined cheekbones. The dolls also come with a “little sister”, who looks so young that you might mistake her for the daughter. Single mamas where you at?!

Grace & Courtney (if this ain’t some AKA & Xinos shit right here…)

b3

Trichelle (who has the body of Alicia Keys, whether intentional or not) & Kianna

I don’t hate it or love it, but I do think the dolls are prettier than the “regular” Barbies. Apparently you can also straighten their hair with a “spray of water” and accompanying hair styling tools, which every black girl knows ain’t rooted nowhere near the truth. But anyway! Don’t get me started!

I’m loving the new black barbie but why does she have to come with a little sister? I don’t recall any of my barbies coming with little sisters. Are they sure those are little sisters? I wouldn’t give my daughter (if I had one) the little sister but she could have the barbie LOL…

Sincerely,

Go

Trichelle is my fave so far. I like the fact that they have interests like music and art. But the “little sisters” are a little suspect…
