Sorry for the absence. May was crazy-go-nuts.
Back to the business at hand. Mattel has released the images for the "True Hope" dolls. They look like aliens. Don't believe me? Look at the pre-order page. Please tell me how exactly having glamorous looking cancer patients help anyone? We already know how I feel about this, but they're actually worse than I thought they would be. Sad, considering how bad I expected them to be.
Why not make a doll with dark circles and gaunt features or prednisone moon face? Because I guess the idea that someone would ever be unattractive while ill is distasteful and won't sell dolls. It saddens me, because if you are really looking for something that resembles what you see in the mirror, these dolls aren't it. "Why don't I look like the cancer doll?" It's kind of heartbreaking. Why not make a chronic illness doll with removable hair and prednisone moon face, complete with an infusion set? That's a little too real, I guess.
