Fulla, The Bestselling “Barbie– in the Mideast

Post by Tombstone »

I thought this was a humorous piece:

It was reported today that Barbie dolls have all but disappeared from the shelves of many toy stores in the Middle East. In their place, there is Fulla, a dark-eyed doll with, as her creator puts it, “Muslim values.”

Young girls here are obsessed with Fulla, and conservative parents who would not dream of buying Barbies for their daughters seem happy to pay for a modest doll who has her own tiny prayer rug, in pink felt. Children who want to dress like their dolls can buy a matching, girl-size prayer rug and cotton scarf set, all in pink.

“This isn’t just about putting the hijab on a Barbie doll,” Mr. Abidin said. “You have to create a character that parents and children will want to relate to. Our advertising is full of positive messages about Fulla’s character. She’s honest, loving, and caring, and she respects her father and mother.”

Frankly, something is oddly familiar about this doll.
