Dora Fierce?

Have y'all peeped the new Dora? I asked my two close friends with daughters that are Dora fans what they thought of the new look. I am disappointed with it to be honest. I mean, our children are already overwhelmed with the western concept/ideal of what is "pretty" - long straight hair, fair skin, thin, trendy clothes...blend in, look cute, and don't be unique or original. Sigh.

My friend Elaine showed the image of the new Dora to her daughter and this is what 4 year old LaLa had to say:

"She's pretty. The old Dora doesn't have earrings. This Dora [the new one] is the most pretty."

Double Sigh.

Elaine then asked me if I peeped the new Disney princess - who is Black. I'm impressed! Honestly, I'm just pleased her hair looks somewhat realistic and they didn't give her some Asian silky straight human hair for weaving in color #1B.


This picture actually doesn't do her hair justice - in this picture her hair is more curly than in the film. In the trailer you can see it is more straight, but at least they gave her some curls/tendrils to make her look more authentic.

Also, peep her shape in the trailer - is it just me or does she look more "athletic" than other Disney princesses? Her back looks a bit muscular and it looks great! Or maybe I'm just projecting. :)

Smooches!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
though you relied on the video to make your point.
You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just
posting videos to your weblog when you could be
giving us something enlightening to read?

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

I finally switched dentists this year. How does Sears Dental compare to private
dental offices in terms of price and customer service?
Here's my review.
