Well of course since we are already talking about the fabulous ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. I can’t forget to mention that they are also getting their very own Barbie Doll. The fabulous members will be able to meet and greek their newest member this week in Washington, D.C. at their Boule, which is a National Convention. The sophisticated and chic Barbie is decked out in a lovely and fly pink and green gown. The Chicago Sun Times reports all the elite details.
“Mattel Inc. created the limited-edition AKA Centennial Barbie, the first Barbie based on any sorority. The doll, outfitted in a pink and green evening gown, matching jeweled shoes and gold jewelry, honors the Chicago-headquartered sorority, the first established by black women.
The sorority has inducted about 200,000 members -- including actress Phylicia Rashad, educator Marva Collins and author Toni Morrison -- since its founding at Howard University in 1908. The Mattel doll will sell for $50 through the Barbie Collector catalog, the Barbie Collector.com Web site and retailers. The sorority gets a percentage of the sales.”
