I just found the perfect anti-Barbie doll! I want this for xmas
http://www.feralcheryl.com.au/

You may find Feral Cheryl at a local market, her dreadlocks tied back, belly button bared, dancing away to Bentmettle in her bare feet.

OR

protesting against the expansion of uranium mining
protesting against logging at a threatened forest
working to regenerate rainforest
volunteering at the local environment centre
working at a vegetarian cafe.
at school, college, university,
studying Celtic mysticism
lobbying on human rights issues
helping her sisters disregard the fashion industry's warped images of women..

1. Yes, I have a young daughter who might like ...
She's not much into Barbie because it's understood that she needs to eat more healthy and work out at the gym. LOL

But this doll reflects the real "shape" of a teen girl. And the plus of "social justice" issues.

Well, we just can't go wrong. Probably will never be mainstreamed as an idea to big companies like KB Toys or ToysRUs though. Bummer :(

4. I dunno...She looks pretty healthy to me...
I'd love to buy this for my niece; but her parents would make her donate it to charity.

5. Do you have one where she's naked?
After all, 90% of barbie dolls wind up naked, so it's important to know how the competition does in the final state
