Decided to switch gears for a bit and design a rainbow high doll. I just got Victoria and got really inspired to try designing my own doll.

I noticed that there are not a lot of yellow dolls or dolls with natural Afro hair styles so I wanted to design around those two things. I settled on Honey Yellow as the color. Eventually I started looking into Nigerian fashion trends from 2022, and learned a bit about how Ankara is used and more about fashion in general. I’m trying to figure out an Ankara print that would work well for this doll.

But yeah, I would be curious to know what your guys input on this design is (especially if you know a bit about Nigerian or black American fashion). I’m still learning so some things about this beta design are probably not accurate yet, haha.

#the wrap pants in the second on I really like #even though the style technically originated from Thailand and has eventually made its way to Africa and other countries #it technically isn’t a super popular style in Nigeria at the moment tho #rainbow high #rainbow high dolls #rainbow high design #character design

Was thinking about this production of Macbeth that my mom was telling me about that I think more Shakespeare nerds need to know about because it's makes me laugh every damn time. So my mom and dad were seeing a Shakespeare in the Park production of Macbeth, and according to my mom, it was pretty bad for the first 3 acts. Just not a very good production.

But then, during Act 4, Scene 2 (the part where Macbeth kills Macduff's family), something changed that made my mom remember this as one of her favorite productions of Macbeth.

When it wasn't busy being boring, the production as a whole was slightly over the top and even a bit campy. They also had some pretty crappy props, which made the whole thing seem even more ramshackled.

Some of you may or may not remember this, but in the scene where the family is getting murdered, Lady Macduff is either pregnant or holding a baby. In this production, they chose to go with the baby. But the fake baby they chose was made of what was likely rubber.

During the murder scene, one of the actors grabbed the baby out of Lady Macduff's arms as she was getting murdered, held it up by the leg, and slammed the doll over a rock. However, that thing was made of rubber, so instead of just flopping over or something, it bounced back.

With a full on cartoonish "BOING."

The audience burst out laughing.

So for the rest of the show, the actors slightly leaned into the goofiness, and went from a mediocre play to an absolutely hilarious comedy.

I honestly want to see comedy versions of Shakespearean tragedies. Imagine a full production of dark comedy Macbeth. Romeo and Juliet campy soap opera. I already saw a really funny one-woman-show of King Lear. Just, more comedic Shakespearean tragedies.

I just read a comment on an afropop music video saying "Nigerians are carrying the continent"

man, it's one thing when everyone else does it. but I BETTER NOT start seeing Africans conflating Nigeria The Nation with Africa The Continent. THEY don't see a difference in our art or music or histories or cultures or tribes or languages because Africa is still a fucking country to most non-Africans. but YOU, fellow African. You know the fuck better.

I had better the fuck not see that bullshit. being most visible or most recognizable on the global stage just means you're winning a popularity contest. Popularity ≠ Quality. And especially not in a popularity contest thrown by a world that never has and continues not to value our lives, our autonomy, and ESPECIALLY our arts and culture.
