Taken in our city's Chinatown of three lovely young ladies I didn't know from Adam. More proof of that song of ours ~ in Liverpool "You'll Never Walk Alone".
Australia is a beautifully diverse country! Even our bigot hate groups are multicultural. Here we have what appears to be a Spartan, an Anglo-Aussie and a Korean-Aussie all standing together "against the scourge of Islam that has overtaken Australia."

I saw these ladies proudly striding up the South Bank wearing the full Niqab and carrying ice cream cornets. I liked thae lady at the back who kept having a sneaky lick - all the other ice creams were untouched.
It made me smile.
It's made it into Explore too! :D www.flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/scout.php?mode=history&a...
Hello, everybody. Sorry that my Flickrstream of late has been entirely made up of Hipstapunz Instagram posts. Work, familials, the usual. But! As it's half term for The Boy, I took this week off work. We're not going anywhere - just doing house stuff and I'm trying to get the Simm heads finished once and for all, because this is taking entirely too long.
I've acquired a few dolls over the past few months, although I haven't really had the chance to do much with them (apart from rob them of their clothes/accessories). Pleasingly, I've managed to get a fair few ethnically diverse dollies of late:
From the left: Singapore Girl Barbie. This was an exclusive sold on Singapore Airlines flights in the early 1990s. I actually have one somewhere in my mother's basement from the first time round, but this one I got on eBay for about 5 quid. She's wearing a sarong kebaya, the spiritual costume of my people (on my mum's side, anyway). Weirdly, it's made out of a kind of jersey fabric; my one had a woven textile. She hasn't got the most wonderful hairstyle, but she does have the 1980s Asian face (first used on 'Oriental Barbie', I believe), which is the most (East) Asian face there's been in a looong time, in my humble opinion. (While we're on the subject - why are 'Asian' dolls usually super pale? Maybe this is the south-east Asian experience in me talking, but a lot of us are a good bit darker than your average Caucasian...).
Game Developer Barbie: it seems that this girl works on mobile gaming and isn't into her AAAs, but she came with some really cool accessories. I seem to be alone in this, but I'm not a big fan of the Bambi sculpt as it comes from factory; I've seen some lovely customs of her though, so we'll see.
Photographer Lammily: a birthday present from my dad, but she took forevah to get to me owing to a succession of comical banking and postal errors. I think I might repaint her. Loving her hair, though.
Moaaaana! I had to get her, but as you can see, I still haven't busted her out of her box (which apparently can be turned into a boat). Loving her very different proportions from your average Disney Princess.
Project Mc2 Camryn: I bought her to nick her gear. I wanted one for the longest time, but I'm a pretty frugal dolly fancier (surprisingly enough!), so I waited until she started going on sale. I found her in TK Maxx for about 12 quid, I think, which was okay with me. These girls have great clothes, and I love the idea behind the range; just not sure how I feel about the dolls themselves!
Curvy Fashionista girl: hoping to customise her eventually. I really like this face sculpt. Waiting impatiently on (affordable) articulated curvy/petite dolls.
A petite Fashionistagirl, bought solely to nick her clothes for Hipstapunz. Call me weird, but I'm not really a fan of the Lea face sculpt - I find it really bland and rather featureless. Again, I've seen some great customs of her, though, so let's see. On the plus side, she's not a super pale girl at least!
Cloe: my first ever Bratz, believe it or not! Once again, I wanted one of these relaunched dolls pretty much as soon as I saw promo shots. I really like the concept that MGA is putting behind their doll ranges at the moment - I think they're better in touch than Mattel, really. Still, in keeping with my budget-minded doll collecting, I waited until I saw them on sale. And what a deal - I got Cloe for £6 in Home Bargains, a discount chain in the North of the UK. They get some great deals on toys (I got the Ashlynn Ella/Hunter Huntsman 2 pack for £10 there a little while back).
So that's my haul of late! Far too many, in the Boy's opinion, but eh. :p

Crayola also made a pack of multicultural colored pencils, and a pack of 16 in regular crayon size. It's interesting how "culture" here is a substitute for "race."
