Robinson had seen black Barbie dolls before. Most of them wore bikinis, and they all had long, straight hair. And they all looked the same — sidekicks to the white dolls, or as Robinson describes them, “Barbie’s token black friend.” That started Robinson down a path of giving dolls makeovers — providing them with loose curls and dreadlocks, hijabs and sarongs, all in the name of giving little girls a realistic image of themselves. Growing up, Robinson never played with dolls much herself. “It’s always been a focus as a young black girl growing up,” she said. Robinson searched online and eventually found the Mattel line of So In Style dolls. Through more research, she found that the So In Style dolls weren’t carried in Canada, and even more, Mattel had discontinued the line. Practising on Monster High dolls Women have all ages have taken notice.

Whether for her disproportionate waist size, her job choices or her accessories, the 54-year-old beauty icon has faced harsh criticism over the years. And now her makeup is the focus of scrutiny. Nickolay Lamm, an artist and researcher from Pittsburgh, decided to give Barbie a make-under after seeing a viral image that depicted a sickly-looking Barbie. Lamm set off on his own “mini investigation” to uncover Barbie’s natural face, and he collaborated with another artist to take photos of Barbie, as well as her Bratz and Disney contemporaries, with clean faces, removing their makeup via Photoshop. “I think it’s a little bit too hypersexualized and I think people don’t say anything because makeup has been on dolls for so long,” Lamm told Today.
