Hanna beats Barbie





I remember two years ago when I came back to Iran, I found out that my niece (Ava) loves Barbie. This time I asked her what she like me to bring to her. I remember the conversation.

-Do you know Hanna Montana, Aunt Hiva? (She asked me)

- No, who is she honey? (I answered and at the same time googled the name)

- She is a singer and actress. Can you buy her latest movie for me please?

- Sure, sure, I’ll bring it to you sweetie!

I bought one of her latest DVD for Ava and also a book of her lyrics and some shirts. Ava is so into her when Hanna is on TV we literally can’t talk to Ava; she simply can’t hear you :).

She is not that interested in Barbies any more. One day I went to her room and noticed there are plenty Barbie girls around.

-Ava! why so many? (I asked her)

- Dad and mom and my friends bought these for me

It seems during last year every person who wanted to gave her a gift found a Barbie girl as the safe option, but apparently it’s not the best choice anymore.

Ava’s Barbies in different sizes and dresses amazed me, I put them all together and took some pictures. Can you find the lucky Barbie boy???

Bonjour Hiva,

Back from holidays in the Pyrenees I am thoroughly enjoying this one.

Here, they are showing the Barbie girls the Iranians might enjoy and they are wearing the hijab, that black ugly hide-all cloth.

As to Hanna Montana, never heart of her but I know from family, little girls have a taste of their own. Here in France, they seem to prefer those androgyn singers, neither male or female, with strange high-up voices. Maybe Hanna belongs to the same crew.

Cheers, Hiva, cheers to you and your family. Life is great and we are in the midst of it.
