@akannampilly Meaning the ones you can get in India? Interesting. -
@emptywheel Yup, been selling them here since the early 1990s. Of course, skin lightening in India goes back much further than that. -
@akannampilly Stunning that Mattel hasn't catered to growing middle classes in countries w/>2B people AND have the dolls to sell at home. -
