Actress can only find one with straight hair
Wednesday, 3 December 2008
Angelina Jolie says being a mum to kids from different parts of the world has taught her a lot.
But the actress, 33, would like the opportunity to speak to parents in the same situation.
'I’ve learnt a great deal, but there are lots of things I don’t know,' she says.
'I’d just love to sit around with other moms and ask questions about everything.'
Angelina and Brad Pitt, 44, are parents to four-month-old twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.
They also have daughter Shiloh, 2, and adopted kids Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, and Zahara, 3.
'A lot of my questions would go to people who have mixed-race families, to ask about the smallest things,' she says.
'Like when Zahara, who’s Ethiopian, wants her hair to look like mine – because it won’t.
'I’ve looked for a Barbie that’s African, but the African Barbie has straight hair.'

There is a Barbie Doll from the Pink Lable collection, by Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation, Inc. From the picture, she looks like she has beautiful curly black hair. I saw it in the Barbie Collector Spring Preview 2009 catalog. Hope someone will let Angelina know that there are dolls out there just like what she is looking for.
For any one interested in dolls for African American children, For anyone interested they can visit EthiDolls.com, where they tell the stories of African Women Rulers from history and create the authentic dolls that represent them. Makeda,® the Queen of Sheba Doll represents the first woman ruler of Ethiopia, and the doll has a beautifully illustrated storybook and audio book.
Angelina....You are so **** Look on the internet and Target sells curly haired African Barbie. I am letting you know this so that Zahara will be happy. She is the cutest child. I have little respect for you. You had an affair with a married man and did you think of the other woman you would be hurting in all of this. I think you owe her an apology and should do so publicly. You have adopted which shows you have some heart but do what is right and give apology to Jennifer.
Our Makeda®, The Queen of Sheba doll, represents the first female ruler of Ethiopia, and is the first collector-quality, educational doll with accessories in EthiDolls' African Signature Doll Collection. Queen Makeda wears an authentic dress made of rich cotton with a vibrant silk border, known as "Dereb," one of the oldest fabric designs from Ethiopian antiquity. The fabric is hand woven by artisans in Ethiopia in support of fair trade principles. The Queen's classic neck tattoo pattern and gold jewelry are traditional adornments of Ethiopian women still worn today. The storybook is beautifully illustrated by a young Ethiopian artist. The CD narration has traditional instrumental Ethiopian music in the background played on an ancient string instrument known as a "Krar." The story begins with a dragon and ends with a lion, and spans Queen Makeda's rise to the throne, her legendary journey to visit King Solomon in Jerusalem, and the beginning of a dynasty that lasted 3000 years and ended in 1974. The book and the CD are told from the point of view of an African-American grandfather telling the story to his granddaughter. We hope to awaken this same spirit of leadership in today’s young African-American girls and their multicultural playmates by offering a new vision of the African experience. We want these girls, and the world at large, to know that Africa has a rich history of accomplishment and dignity, and that African women in particular have played an important role. A girl needs imaginative play to help her form the basis of her aspirations -- a fantasy world, where her ability to transcend reality and sharpen her unique creativity is a reflection of her true self.
