I cannot stress enough that this might be the most important doll I've posted about.

Meet Jafra, the Palestinian fashion doll.

Information on her took a bit of digging, but as far as I can tell she debuted in either December 2015 or January 2016. She was initially available for purchase through her website, and after a year began to be sold at Hamleys in Jordan, UAE, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. In 2021 the Palestine Museum began selling her for $49.99 each, and is now completely sold out.

Each doll wears a detailed thobe, the longer one in front for their bridal collection. The thobe is a traditional Palestinian dress with tatreez (embroidery) which uses color to indicate what region the wearer is from. During the First Intifada in the 80s, it became a symbol of resistance against Israeli Apartheid, and of Palestinians' connection to their land. (Credit to Handmade Palestine and @nickysfacts for this information)

As far as I can tell based on discrepancy in stock photos, the dolls with embroidered thobes were considered collectors items with a higher price. Meanwhile the details were printed for playline releases at Hamleys, likely to lower the price for better availability.

Jafra's dream is to "empower all the beautiful girls from the Middle East". She lives away from her homeland, but hopes to design and build her own house in Palestine. She grows Chamomile and Thyme in her garden, studies architectural design in college, and always tries to volunteer and help others. Her thobe binds her to her home country, passed down from her ancestors.

"Jafra is beyond a doll... beyond an idea. It's a deep-rooted tradition mixed with history and memories"

I hope I have made it abundantly clear that I do and always will support Palestine, and encourage anyone who considers this genocide a "war against Hamas" to unfollow and block me immediately. You have been given every opportunity to educate yourself and sympathize with the innocent Palestinians suffering at the hands of Israel, and your ignorance does not deserve a listening ear over them.

To my followers, I implore you to do your daily click. Contact your representatives. Attend protests. Donate or buy an e-sim if you can. We need to let our government know we are not going to fucking stand for this, and support Palestinians however remotely possible.

A ceasefire WILL be reached. Palestine WILL be free. No matter what actions Israel and its disgusting supporters commit Palestine WILL NEVER DIE.

Ramadan Kareem, and Free Palestine.

does anyone ever use their truly me's as ages older than children? I'm just wondering bc my friend and I have a shared universe, but all of our dolls are 18+ and I was wondering if that was weird/is something you guys wouldn't want to hear about? idk. I've got so much love for our dolls/universe and I just wanna talk about them somewhere lol.

so I didn't get one that says "math class is tough!" BUT I think for being from 1991/1992, she works great when you get batteries in her. I love her so much and think she's so cute and fashionable. kinda sad to take her out of the box, but how could I keep "teen talk" Barbie voiceless?

Not AG related, but it is doll related. I'm so excited to have a "controversial" teen talk barbie physically in my hands. I haven't taken her out or tested her to see if she has the controversial "math class is tough" phrase. but I already love her.

American Girl + Disney Descendants AU

↳ Nanea Mitchell, daughter of Nani Pelekai and David Kawena (Lilo & Stitch)

Kingdom: Kaua’i, Hawai’i

Allegiance: Auradon

Title(s): N/A

Skillset: Connection to the Jookiba Experiments, Alien Communication and Tech, Amazing Hula Dancer

Relationship to Parent(s): Great; Nanea grew up with a huge, supportive family brought together by her Aunt Lilo. When she’s not on the beach with her friends or trying to see what the stuff Uncle Jumba left lying around does, she’s practicing hula with her own “dog,” Mele, aka Experiment 630, a clone of Stitch and Angel. She only got Mele recently, and she’s taking time at school to train her and teach others how to train their own extraterrestrial pets. It seems that Mele loves to dance, though, so that’s something she and Nanea have in common!

“ʻĀwikiwiki, mai lohilohi Lawe mai i ko papa heʻe nalu Piʻi nā nalu lā lahalaha ʻ O ka moana hānupanupa…”
