The doll is her tribute to our sorority and I'm proud of her for stepping out there. When Mattel announced their tribute, people wanted to see and were excited about it. I respect what it takes and how hard it is for our people to achieve the level of Mattel. My soror's doll may not be the "quality" some are looking for because I'm sure she doesn't have the longevity or resources that Mattel has. Nonetheless, I'm proud of her and proud that Ivy Rose and the Sisterhood Boutique will get this level of exposure.

That's what I thought. I figured it was a good idea for your soror to get her business out there like that and give you all a shout out.

It does look cheap in comparison to what I expected but it's also a nice keepsake. My confusion was that I thought this was supposed to be the Mattel doll when I clicked the link so I was like "Mattel couldn't do better than that?"

Actually the doll is very beautiful. I bought one to support Soror Rochelle and I think she did a wonderful job. The pictures don't do the doll justice at all.
