In the last year or so, Barbie dolls have all but disappeared from the shelves of many toy stores in the Middle East. In their place, there is Fulla, a dark-eyed doll with, as her creator puts it, "Muslim values.Fulla roughly shares Barbie's size and proportions, but steps out of her shiny pink box wearing a black abaya and matching head scarf. She is named after a type of jasmine that grows in the Levant, and although she has an extensive and beautiful wardrobe (sold separately, of course), Fulla is usually displayed wearing her modest "outdoor fashion."

Fulla Shiite?
Wonder if the crazy islamics are aware that originally Barbie was based on a prostitute?
When Mohammed married little Aisha, there were those who scolded him for allowing her to play with dolls because they were "graven images"---but he rebuked them, and his 9-yr-old wife was allowed to keep playing.
Does she come with an easily detachable head for pretend beheadings?

They kill Fulla. It's her fault she got disrobed. She was tempting people by showing so much skin.
Notice anything wrong with these dolls? They look happy. That ain't right.
THAT is very funny. LOL!
Fulla looks like she's wearing lipstick. Stone her.
I was going to ask that, but you beat me to it.
I wonder if she has big 'you know whats' under that tent.
Good Lord. How long do you think it took this person to create scenes and dialogues for Prozac Barbie? I hope s/he got his/her money's worth.
So, I also wonder what is she "Fulla"? Fulla fun? Fulla fleas? Fulla stupid cult ideas? Fulla rage over being peed on her whole life? Fulla the determination to get out of the cult, make something of her life, and raise her children in some normal culture?
I'm outta time.
Well,
it sold for $843 so I guess she came out OK :)
Personally,
I just LOVE the cellulite...how she did it, I don't know.
And a small-of-the-back tattoo.
Very clever, very creative and very funny piece!
Born in Akron. Go.......blimp!
I really don't care who the doll is. We have our United States of America Barbie and that's ALL I care about. Those who dont' like Barbie should not buy her. Period. As for the other countries? Who cares what kind of dolls they have?
Theres more! Ebay Barbie
The girls never got to play with the goats. They were reserved for dad while he is away jihading...or for the son to use on a lazy sunday afternoon...
Too clever!
