In my opinion I never thought Barbies did a particularly good job of representing black girls/women ....Especially when it came to the hair and the nose..... In fact,remember the new black Barbies a couple of months ago and how they caught quite a bit of flak for their hair?In fact alot of people thought it was a step backward, since the hair was straight and light brown...Any how, there's this artist Loanne Hizo Ostlie ...Who has been modifying the dolls for over 10 years, and what she came up with are much more 
diverse and realistic-looking, even if they do still have cat eyes and tiny waists.... But what is so impressive is her ability to change the hair of a doll .The artist has a Web site with over 300 mods of Barbie, Skipper and even a few Kens.
Amazing...These Barbies actually looks like a real person. What do you think?
