Iconic Girlhood - Beanie Babies Version


Unsurprisingly, we're already on to the next installment of the narrative that is the Obama girls' first girlhood. The Associated Press reported that the folks who bring you Beanie Babies (apparently they're still making/selling them - is a mid-nineties revival in the air?), Ty Inc., have put out a couple of dolls named "Marvelous Malia" and "Sweet Sasha." The company denies that the dolls are in any way made in the first daughters' likenesses, but I wonder how many Beanie Babies of color have come before? Read the story here.

  1. A fascinating adaption of the commonplace book to the virtual form and most effective in the presentation of text and visuals! Jacqui
