I ordered the Foxy one Thursday morning and I should get it on Monday. I'm so excited! I missed all of MAC Barbie, at least now I'll have some Barbie makeup.

Yikes. We can all have "good hair" if you learn how to take care of it.

Ladies, for the record, I'd like to say that although I can't speak for MsChys79; I don't think that she intended for to remark to be taken in such an inflammatory way. In real life, I hear the term "good hair" tossed around way more casually than I'd like, and I usually take the time to voice my displeasure with the speaker. I've found that most people who use the term don't even realize that it's offensive in the first place, nevermind WHY.
This term is tossed around a lot in the American Black community, and my Dominicanas, toss around the term "pelo malo" quite frequently as well. If you're familiar with either term, then you know what they both mean. My problem with both is that both imply that highly textured or nappy (and I don't find nappy to be offensive, btw) hair is bad, and that implication is incorrect, and can be a blow to someone's whose self esteem isn't up to par, especially little girls who are subject to hearing ther mom's complaints about their hair every time they sit down to get their hair done.
Just my two pence.

I actually bought the doll from a fellow Barbie collector as she was released in 1980... I hope MAC and Barbie join up for another collection, it will be heaven all over again!
and there's nothing wrong about her hair! I love it when women with super curly hair leave it in the natural state (whether cropped or in an afro - you should google South African Princess Barbie and Nichelle Urban Hipster Barbie, two of my favourite dolls - amongst many I must admit) although I guess it must be difficult to manage super curly hair, I have straight hair so I wouldn't know

Why did they discontinue their darker shades? Do they plan on re-packaging or re-formulating???
I've never used any Stile products, but I've heard a lot about it, so I'm just curious about this.
