@National Socialism I have no idea who told you the people who needed a dark pigment around their eyes due to the sun and quite literally worked days and days under the heat were white in the slightest. As they evolved through time, the pigmentation of the skin got darker. However, this isnt to say some parts of egyptians were lighter. As we see today, there is a gradation of skin towards Sudan. Some might have been white in race due to Greece - their skin was most definitely darker than a Europeans.

Every single time I watch these I desperately wish doll manufacturers had better technology to print more unique, detailed, and modern designs on their dolls, It’s such a shame that doll designers have to be restrained by the limitations of their printers, because watching faceups like these really shows how incredible dolls could be if that barrier wasn’t there.

I hate that sexuality is used to demean historical figures -- sometimes male too, but usually female. Your mini-rant and this face-up are a nice tribute to history. And film history. The movies may have been serving lies, but the actresses were serving LOOKS. 👑

Like she'd definitely brag about every little detail of her look and it's historical meaning.
