Every little girl is familiar with Barbie and probably owned one during her childhood.
Well look out because Barbie has a few new friends in her clique! Mattel and one of their talent designers, Stacey McBride-Irby, have created a new line of dolls called the So In Style Dolls or S.
I.
S.
Their names are Kara, Grace and Trichelle and they are a hot new threesome that live for fashion.
This awesome trinity are not only fashion conscious but are also down to earth and educated.
They also act as teachers/mentors to their three young sisters Kianna, Courtney and Janessa by exposing them to sports, art and music.
The S.
I.
S.
line includes the three big sisters, a trio of friends who always think about fun, fashion and friendship.
Each doll has got their own wonderful personality and fabulous style and boasts its own shade of brown skin color.
The So In Style product line dolls are also kept company by a younger "sister" doll who has her own varied pursuits such as music, science, mathematics and marching band.
The function of the older sisters is to inspire the action in the younger sisters, hence being their role model.
This function is also meant to urge young girls of today to also mentor and become a part of a team.
It is a fact that the So In Style dolls are a fantastic choice compared against the established favorite, the Nordic type Barbie.
The new S.
I.
S.
products still carry some established and disturbing Barbie traits like long skinny legs and impossibly minute waists.
And just because a few of them have tight curls in their locks, the others still have light brown long straight or hardly curled hair.
Hair is often a troubling matter for African American girls and it is disturbing to think that any little youngster might be sad and feel that her hair does not measure up to that of the world they live in just because of a doll.
Black Barbies are essentially just a darker variation of the established one.
Mattel's designer, Stacey McBride-Irby, desired to create a more realistic version for black girls.
Her own girls were the inspiration behind her genius.
She desired them to be able to have dolls of their own that ruminate their own nature and peers.
Thus the S.
I.
S.
dolls were produced.
Grace, Kara and Trichelle have characteristics that represent the African American people better than the conventional Barbie.
Features such as variable skin color, mouths that are broader, curling hair, fuller noses and cheek bones that are more representative of black women.
All in all these dolls are a boon to the growth of rising African American girls everywhere.
