Fulla: A Doll With "Muslim Values"

Via Drudge-After Leila, Sara, Razanne, Fulla (Jasmin in arabic) is the doll introduced in November 2003 by NewBoy Design Studio, based in Syria and which now has quickly become a best seller all over the region. What is special about Fulla is that,

she roughly shares Barbie's size and proportions, but steps out of her shiny pink box wearing a black abaya and matching head scarf. She is named after a type of jasmine that grows in the Levant, and although she has an extensive and beautiful wardrobe (sold separately, of course), Fulla is usually displayed wearing her modest "outdoor fashion."
