Here she is.. Barbie looks Magnificent… all in the name of the Black Barbie Drive for the holidays…

The Barbie Doll’s Makeover.. finally…

COLUMBUS, Ga. —

Barbie- -a longtime icon for girls all over…

This time of year, you can find her atop many Christmas lists.

“We’re holding the Black Barbie Doll Drive, where we collected new and used Barbies to give to the girls at the BTW Girls Inc. and we’re turning them into natural hair Barbies,” said Candace McBride, Organizer for the Black Barbie Drive. 

In Columbus, Frolific is hoping to makes the wishes of needy young girls come true this holiday…But this time with a “twist.”

“Natural, is chemical free hair or hair with no perms.  And you can wear it curly, you can wear it locked, or you can wear it straight.  It’s just without a relaxer,” said McBride.

Hiding behind the natural hair, is a more important message: Teaching girls to accept who they are.
