"Okay than now, back to Barbie. The first Barbie fashion doll came out in the year 1959. They are known as fashion dolls that are designed to be dressed up in fashion trends. Fashion dolls are normally modeled after teen girl or adult women. They were intended to be children's toys. The size of the Barbie doll is 11.5 inches [290 mm]. But fashion dolls have been made in a lot of different sizes varying from 10.5 inches [270 mm] to 36 inches [900 mm].
Now last for not least, The Reborn Doll. This is the last doll on the list."
"Thank God," Derek whispered to Andrew.
"Hey I heard that," Mr. Hanks said, hearing Derek.
The class laughed.
"Reborn dolls is a hand made art created from a blank kit that has been transformed by an artist to resemble a real life human infant. The process of creating a reborn doll is referred to as reborning. The artist who made the doll is referred to as reborners. The passion of making reborn baby dolls started in the early 1990s when doll enthusiasts wanted more realistic dolls. The doll making industry and community surrounding reborn dolls had emerged. Reborn dolls now are purchased online, but is also available at fairs. Their price range is from hundreds to thousands of dollars,"
"DAMN," Andrew said.
"Yeah. Some consumers uses reborn dolls to cope with their grief over a lost child..."
"So sad," a girl upfront said.
"Yeah. A memory reborn, or as a portrait doll of a grown child helps with grief. Others collect reborn dolls just like they would regular dolls. These type of dolls are sometimes played with as if they are actually an infant. Some critics debated whether reborn dolls are harmful or those dolls can help people in their grieving process.
That is because of their realistic appearance. Reborn dolls have been actually mistaken for real babies and was rescued from parked vehicles after they reported it to the police by some people."
"Word?" Derek asked curiously.
"Yeah, this is a fact," Mr. Hank informed. "Any questions anyone?"
RIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNG.
"Okay that's the bell, please read and study these chapters because there will be a pop quiz on them. Please study all of the types of dolls I've mentioned. Now have a great evening," Mr. Hank instructed.
