"Meet Fulla, the Arab Barbie girl. She's covered from head to foot in black and has no boyfriends, let alone one named Ken. In some parts of the world, Fulla might gather dust, but across the Middle East and North Africa she is the top selling doll." (credit Gulf News, Dubai)

Alright, so she's covered...is that enough to make her Arab? She still looks like the Barbie we all know. And why can't Barbie have a Ken, or a Mustapha? Are Arab women devoid of sexual needs? You'd be hard pressed to kind a young that doesn't play 'house' or 'husband and wife' or whatever. I'd love to see how the doll is going to be marketed in the Middle East.
