Then you set up a website and as OD suggested, market your designs. When you have a critical market share, you approach Dis, or whatever big princess producing company you can stand ;)show them your demand and offer them the product-maybe even donate some of the proceeds to one of the many African girls' education organizations-but this gets it into the mainstream. ~lmc I think you find the face and figure and then adapt it with princess clothing-can’t be too hard, not like trying to do the face freehand.

Here's the link: http://www.rainbowkids.com/HTMLFiles.aspx?page=KidsActivities Click on a country and they have a selection of coloring pages for each country. Some have more "formal wear" pictures that might work for princess. I’ve been printing out coloring pages from Rainbowkids (free!). Here’s the link:

Not exactly princesses, but then, why not? I know you could probably use some of the pictures and turn them into princesses. And, I found a cool African-American decorating site. They have some really lovely stuff, including wall borders. There is one of African-American girls doing ballet that you can get for about $13, which isn't too terrible, and there are some angels that would certianly make acceptable princesses-- because they look like princesses to me. Seems like a reasonable price for the principle... Oh. You want the URL. Ok. http://www.itsablackthang.com/AfricanAmericanHomeDecor-wallpaper.htm or snipped: http://snipurl.com/1r79i I had to put in the whole URL because I like the web site a lot and wanted everyone to know it.

Although I do give my girl A little credit for referring to Pocahontos as "The girl who looks like Mulan, but darker" Why can't there be more multi-culture? HMMM? We recently got an Elina doll (Fairytopia..yeah, don't go there) and the only doll they had was "black Elina". The sad thing? She's just Elina with darker hair and slightly darker skin.. No features that would match any black woman I know. I hear you, but I don't know what to tell you... Hmm, I have trouble with the colorlessness (word?) of the princesses.
