poniesandpatchiesDear Mattel,
I have a few things I want to say to you, and a few suggestions. Maybe even a few bones to pick. So, sice there's a well-loved and possibly glue-haired Frankie Stein beside me and I've got my Neil Diamond going on, let's get started.
First, let's start with AG. I know there's gonna be a new historical coming out. And I know what I'd love to see. I want to see a girl of color, during the sixties, who gets to learn about and gain civil rights firsthand. I mean, I don't mind white perspectives. Don't get me wrong. But you know what? I'm about ready for some perspectives from some people of color in the historicals, I mean main perspectives. As far as I know, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, there's only three main historical girls of color, Cécile, Addy and Kaya. I think there needs to be more, thank you very much. But then, anybody who reads this blog knows this. I'd kind of like to see a Japanese-American girl during WWII too.
Now, on to the MH. WHY the hell does Catrine DeMew's tail keep falling off? I don't have this problem with any of my other werecats, but Catrine's falls off constantly. It's annoying. Mattel, you need to work on your quality control. God.
I wanted to write more on both these topics, but I have a paper to write. *Sigh*
