The Bald and Beautiful Movement
Bald Dolls to Help Kid Cope
By: Eric Cohen
Like most people, I love a good underdog story. Especially one with a cause. I was immediately taken with Jane Bingham's story. She founded The Bald and Beautiful Movement, whose mission is to get a bald Barbie made to "help young girls who live with hair loss due to cancer treatments, Alopecia or Trichotillomania . Also, for young girls who are having trouble coping with their mother's hair loss from chemo."
While Mattel won't be creating a bald Barbie, they do intend to make a bald friend of Barbie and donate 10,000 the dolls to children undergoing cancer treatment.
Meanwhile, Bratz and Moxie Girl will be creating a line of bald dolls that should be available this month via www.toysrus.com. And they'll be donating $1 per doll sold to City of Hope for cancer research.
Check out their Facebook page and see how inspiring they are.
