The quality of the photos is not excellent because there wasn’t good light at this particular isle in the toy store and because I was in a hurry. Here two sectors of the “girl toys” aisle.
Two little white girls, happy, in what I’d call “A quaint domesticity” retablo. Little ice-cream cones in pastel colors; a pink pie, mini hamburgers, a pink “sweeping set”. A cutified housewife aspiration. I’d say this looks like a kiddie “Pinterest board” of aspirational middle class.
Then, the girl of color. Alone, no need for her to be in happy, shared friendship. No need to include cute versions of the items on display: a supermarket check out line, a cash register and not one but two versions of industrial type cleaning trolleys.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
