Actually, I wouldn't have imagined the Barbie Doll would be a very big seller in Saudi Arabia anyway. Now that it is immoral there, maybe business will boom. :wink:

Maybe the only Barbie doll they've seen is the "Trailer-Trash" knock-off version (pregnant, barefoot, frizzy haired and over-made up, with bottle of bourbon and a place in her mouth for cigarettes [included, one pack]), y'think? :roll:

With a minor marketing adjustment, this could be resolved. Introducing
Burqua Barbie.

"Burqua Barbie", huh? Where are they going to find someone skilled enough to braid the armpit hairs??? :o

I'd think that it would be up to the consumer to provide the hairstyling. Burqua Barbie has no accessories, but master Ken-qui would come with an AK-47 and RPG launcher. :snipersmile:
