I'm thinking of buying a doll that is supposed to represent the cheyenne tribe. I'm worried that it's cultural appropriation? She comes in the traditional dress of her tribe, but she's not made by a native person. If I do end up getting her I probably will give her modern clothes and a time-traveling type vibe... but idk man i don't want to accidentally support erasure and appropriation. thx :)

Do not buy a doll in Cheyenne dress from a doll maker who is not Native. 

I’m curious why they need to be in Cheyenne dress if you’re going to re-dress them anyway? I realise I’m getting to this probably *way* late, since I haven’t logged in since forever; a good rule of thumb is that if you feel the need to ask “Is this... [cultural appropriation/racist, etc]”, then there’s a very good chance that it is.

Basquiat Barbie!

“Basquiat Barbie is here! One of my favs I’ve ever designed in my career. Such an honor to be at the intersection of @barbie & Basquiat! Basquiat himself had such an iconic lewk and I wanted to interpret that for Barbie. He often wore suits, sometimes even painting in them, so I put Barbie in a suit, making it super oversized to evoke a 1980s vibe, which was Basquiat’s heyday. Each panel of the suit, shirt, tie and belt is printed with a different work spanning Basquiat’s career, my fav is ‘Big Joy’ circa 1984 on suit jacket’s left arm! The belt features a repeat of Basquiat’s early ‘SAMO’ tag. There’s a portrait of Basquiat where he wears the right side lapel of this shirt tucked underneath his tie, so I wanted to replicate that specific styling. Barbie’s hair was inspired by Basquiat’s signature dreadlocks, crowned with a 3D version of Basquiat’s 2D crown. The Basquiat crown is one of the most, if not the most, recognizable Basquiat symbols so I had to include it. Basquiat’s principles of greatness and self-worth and crowning yourself as king and not waiting for someone else to validate you resonated with me. Shout out to two incredible co-workers for designing the beautiful packaging; @laydianachiv on graphics layout and @_zordon on structure! A heartfelt thank you to The Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat & @artestarnyc for granting us access to a digital archive of Basquiat’s entire career. “
