Fulah Dolls

Let us do the ornament by hand-made. Act out your inventor dream.
What? That's the text on the back of the box this doll came in. We bought this doll to show our American friends the Middle Eastern version of Barbie. She usually wears a lot more clothes than Barbie does. I'm just not sure what the stuff on the box is trying to say.
On the front of the box it brags "Series! Characteristic! Music" which really makes no sense. In Arabic, however, it just says "Arabic Songs." I can imagine that if I were designing boxes and trying to write in Arabic, it would sound a lot like the English written here.

  1. That's hilarious! Madeline has a basketball goal that has, "shoot at here" splashed across the backboard.

  2. How funny! She's the sanctified version of Barbie, maybe? More clothes.

  3. Somebody gave Madeline a shirt this week. It had some pretty random phrases on it, like: Fairy, Princess Love, I'm a Leader, and Crazy. Hmmm.
