Sexy Lilli shows the history of Barbie. Guiding little girl Rowena to think about “where does Barbie come from conceptually”. Story of Lilli doll is not a secret, however, we rarely think about it. People thought about it and concerned about it when the doll just came to the world. But it’s been so long in the market and people forgot about the point they were fighting for.

By unveiling the history of Barbie to little girl Rowena, I wish she could have a better understanding of why Barbie looks in a certain way. Her profession needs her to look sexy, that’s a way of getting attention from men. She represented a beauty in male gaze from the very beginning. 

I collected this Lilli doll from a vintage doll collector. It’s a doll from 1950s.
