Once upon a time a Black Doll wished upon a dream to come back to her. To my Dana Doll, Ambossadoll and dear friend, Lisa (aka Kittles), on the morning kickoff of a dream come true, I'm sending heartfelt congratulations! It's not my news to tell, so that ain't why I called. I called this morning because I wanted to let her know that I am SO happy for her! When dreams pass so many of us by like Blacks trying to catch a cab in New York, at a time when most people are living life in quiet desperation, as so many wonder if lady luck forget their number this morning my dear friend is experiencing joy! So Kittles, ENJOY! All my love, all my excitement for this journey back to the future. Wish upon a star, Dolls. Xo, Dane-Dane.

Q&A with Mrs. Christine

"If beauty is hard to define, black beauty is rocket science! Beauty can’t be defined. It certainly can’t be placed in a box. Some advertising campaigns would have hue believe that black women are not the standard for beauty… and YET prototypes of our genetic body parts are being sold in record numbers. From the island tan to the bee stung lip, to injections at the cheek and hip, don’t believe the hype that you’re of bargain basement value. Doll, you’re a Goddess, genetically engineering a multimillion dollar b’huety industry! Black beauty, like any designer knockoff, has often upstaged fashion’s status quo and created trends that ignite unexpected brands and inspired iconic phrases...such as Black Doll!"
- Dana 'Mama Doll' Hill
