There is probably not a single American girl out there that does not know who Barbie is. Well, after years of the same old friends, Barbie now has some new ones to hang with. The designers over at Mattel have once again created something exciting and new, the So In Style Dolls! An amazing new trio of young fashion conscience ladies named Trichelle, Grace and Kara are the new members of the Mattel and Barbie family.

This awesome trinity are not only fashion conscious but are also down to earth and educated. They also act as teachers/mentors to their three young sisters Kianna, Courtney and Janessa by exposing them to sports, art and music.

The S.I.S. line includes the three big sisters, a trio of friends who always think about fun, fashion and friendship. Each doll has got their own wonderful personality and fabulous style and boasts its own shade of brown skin color. The So In Style product line dolls are also kept company by a younger “sister” doll who has her own varied pursuits such as music, science, mathematics and marching band. The function of the older sisters is to inspire the action in the younger sisters, hence being their role model. This function is also meant to urge young girls of today to also mentor and become a part of a team.

As well as the So In Style big sister/little sister dolls, S.I.S. gives young ladies the opportunity to play with hair that uses the technologically advanced Aqua curl system. This allows the girls to straighten, curl and style the doll’s hair again and again with just one little spritz of water along with the use of the styling tools.

These dolls may be purchased online or in stores nationwide. The prices vary depending on the package you buy, but typical prices range from $19.99 for a little/big sister combination to $29.99 for a package that includes a little sister and accessories. In today’s economy, these prices might not fit all budgets so it may not be reasonable for Mattel to think they will sell quickly.

However, if the standard blue-eyed Barbie is not the message you want to send to your child, then an S.I.S. doll might be just the thing. Interestingly enough, the So In Style Barbie’s do retain some of the more annoying features that “Nordic” Barbie has like the cinched waist and the never ending chicken legs. Another annoyance for mother’s might be the fact that while at least one of the S.I.S. dolls has curly hair, the rest do not and most even have light hair. Mattel should have thought that one through a bit more because while many Black women wear weaves that make their hair straight, it is not the texture of their normal hair and they do struggle with it more so than other ethnicity’s.

We all realize that the so called “ethnic” Barbies are really just a slightly tan version of the traditional white Barbie. Stacey McBride-Irby, the designer of S.I.S., wanted to create a much more ethnic accurate doll for young girls to play with. Her own children were the reason behind the creation of So In Style. She wanted them to have dolls that reflected what they saw in the mirror everyday. Hence, the creation of the So In Style product line. Trichelle, Grace and Kara have the same features that reflect the African American culture much more realistically than the Barbie of old. Varying skin color, fuller lips, curly hair (somewhat), a broader nose and more distinctive cheekbones are all some of the new features of the S.I.S. dolls.
