I'm really interested on how Asian faces are represented in Barbie-sized dolls. Most dolls, especially from Mattel, use closed-mouth faces for dolls with Asian heritage.
I used to think that Asian doll always have their mouths closed. Thanks to Dana for introducing me to Asian dolls with their mouths open.
I really won't go to great lengths to get me one. I'll just take what comes along. Luckily, I saw a Cathay Pacific Flight Attendant doll at the thrift. I got her for about $5. I'm not willing to pay for more and good thing I didn't. She comes in a clone belly button body that doesn't even have the click bend legs and her dangerous red dress has stained on her body. Even her bonnet stained on her forehead. Her old body was a mess so I decided to re-body and redress her.
Here she is enjoying her new clothes (she re-used her jacket). I call her Cathy. She is joined by Yue-sai in one picture.
Semi-random note:
