The Juggernaut
Barbie’s new Diwali doll has sold out in less than four days.
The $40 doll by Indian fashion designer Anita Dongre came out October 4. Though Barbie has released “Indian” dolls before, this is its first Diwali Barbie.
“In a continued commitment to promoting celebrations of heritage, Barbie is unveiling its first Barbie Diwali doll,” Mattel wrote in a news release. “The Barbie Diwali doll celebrates India’s cultural richness with a worldwide audience.”
Diwali Barbie sports a dark blue Anita Dongre lehenga, golden bangles and jhumka, high heels, and a ponytail. She has no backstory.
Dongre told USA Today that designing the look took over a year. She first envisioned the doll having several outfits. “I wanted to have an entire collection,” she told USA Today. “Should it be a lehenga? Should it be a sari? Should it be a sharara? There’s so much one can do. Indian fashion is just so versatile.”
“This Moonlight Bloom look features a choli top, floral koti vest, and lehenga skirt lush with dahlias, jasmine, and Indian lotus, representing strength and beauty,” Mattel’s site reads. Though note: “The doll comes with a stand…Doll cannot stand alone.”
Last year, American Girl also got in on the Indian American market, America’s fastest-growing and richest demographic. It launched Kavi, a doll who loves Broadway, has a Western and Indian wardrobe, and celebrates Diwali and Holi.
Despite its 2023 blockbuster movie, #Barbie has long faced flak for shaping perceptions of what women should look like.
In 1996, Mattel created its first melanated doll for Indians. She had the same physique as white Barbie and wore a bindi. Yet, the box labeled her pink sari as a two-piece outfit with an optional shawl and noted that Indians don’t use utensils to eat. As Sadaf Ahsan wrote for The Juggernaut: “If you aren’t blonde and blue-eyed, life in plastic isn’t fantastic.”

MORE DESI MIKU?!?!?!? (+korean miku!) Can you tell I love drawing her?
I'm really sad the trend died down a lot (or did it??idk, I think my last post kinda flopped compared to the others). Desi miku is so silly!!!
Also, you may be wondering who the other miku is, and it's South Korean Miku!!! A friend requested I draw her. I'm not Korean myself, so I hope I did well! They loved the end result, by the way!! :D
I think im proud of the top left drawing of the first image! It's miku doing Bharatanatyam, one of the classical dances of India! My mom seemed to really like this one, but I don't think she knows it's miku lol (I didn't write the "Hatsune Miku" until I made all 3 drawings). Drawing the costume was a but tedious, but I think it turned out fine!
Desi Miku masterpost!

Ok one thing I see every year during this time and I'm again seeing nowadays, that is shaming bangali people for eating non-veg during Navaratri
First of all, Navaratri and Durga Pujo are VERY different. This is basic atp I mean.. but still...
And it's not only about Bangalis, Assamese people, some Odisha people and even some parts of North Eastern people I believe (forgive me if I'm wrong) also have the concept of non veg in their diet even during Puja, Devi Puja to be specific.
And second thing, Bengal's Shakta traditions and rituals are A LOT different.
Like some families have traditions of offering Jora Ilish to Maa on Ashtami, with the believe that's her favourite fish. While some families (like mine) go complete veg on that perticular day.
And most families usually eat mutton on Nabami. That's like a must in most households. Some places even had the ritual of Patha Bali during Sandhi Pujo on Ashtami or on Nabami. That is mostly changed with pumkins or ash grounds nowadays though.
Meat in some places is offered as Bhog to Maa. And on Dashami, some places again offer her fishes as that's the day she leaves us for another whole year.
Also you'd be further shocked to know it's not only during Durga Pujo that we have the tradition of non veg.
Some families just like mine, have the tradition of Ranna Pujo, which is celebrated the day before Vishwakarma Pujo. This Puja is for Maa Manasa, and during this, Maa is offered various dishes made of fishes including Ilish or Rui. Some even offer prawns as Bhog.
And guess what? A lot of places still have Bali Pratha during various Kali Pujos that happens all around the year. I've seen myself.
Most Shaktipeeth, Including Kamakhya and Kalighat also have the same Bali Pratha. I just said those two places because I've seen them myself.
(I do agree it's not really good to kill animals but I'm just saying what is true)
Some Kali Pujo, even have rituals that includes alcohol, yes read right even alcohol as an offering to Maa. Believe me or not, this is 100% true.
So stop saying random stuff like why we are consuming non veg or how we are not following the rules, because rules are different in every part of India.
Yup! That's all. Now be kind and understanding and let us all enjoy our own festivals hmm?
Also to piss off people who'll still say dumb stuff, I ate momos and biriyani today cry about it

i believe the best part of girlhood is wearing a saree for the first time for your farewell, never wanting to get out of it, and getting the types of compliments you've never received in your life. Full desi girl moment
