Clawdeen

I want a boyfriend. Everyone has a boyfriend, except me.  I do not want to be like Lisa Turtle who did not have a boyfriend on the Save by the Bell.  I have a brother, Clawd and he is dating Draculura.  I have two sisters, Howleen and Clawdia.  They should have put all four  of us in one gift pack. 

Nakia speaks

Nakia:

I was created by the Get Set Club.   We were fashion action dolls and we specialized in specific  activities to do.  Of course, I played basketball.  We were going to challenge the Barbie dolls ideal size.The company had created a brother for me, but Piersin was never made.  What a disappointment.  I see that Clawdeen from Monster High brother  was created.  Not fair.

I finally made it.  I am taller.  I can hang with the bigger girls now.  I have finally grown.
Now I can have a boyfriend because I am all grown  up.

No. 17

Hello, I am No. 17 from the Basic Denim Collection.  I have an original face mold that differs from the other African American males by Mattel and  I have flocked hair.  The only thing is that I have a model pose and cannot change from this position.

The good thing about being the only African American male in the collection is that I am surrounded by the other Basic Barbie's in the collection.

I am a successful, responsible and strong male.  Why do I have to keep falling for the wrong Fashion Royalty women, first Kyori and then Bianca Jordan.  I would like to meet Annik, Quiet Storm. I think she is the one.

Bianca Jordan, Annik

The President

We cheered and celebrated all night. We have our first African American President and First Lady.  We cried, clapped and stood tall the first time and at the second inauguaration.  We are proud.
