design file : Pinky

ok .. i didn't ask SCMP for permission to add this pic (noted herewith), but this was the only pic I can find
of 'Pinky' the doll created for real Hong Kong girls, modelled after a real HK girl (according to the article I read in the SCMP.. shown here the creator, a Mrs. N. to the right and a Ms. Y, the inspiration). It was also noted by Mrs. N in that same article that girls in HK are very fashionable and trendy when it comes to clothing, not necessarily just looking for big name brands or running after the most expensive items. They can even be creative on a budget and are always well dressed and well groomed.
I am not challenging that statement, but what puzzled me in all this is the result - the doll. If Ms. Y was the inspiration (or representation) of HK girls, the same should be up in arms. Not only is the doll named 'Pinky',
which is not the first doll by that name, but .. well... looks pink, which seems to be the only color in the spectrum that can be associated with HK Chinese girls. If the observation and inspiration was that of fashionable and trendy females, then I don't understand why this doll is wearing a pink ball gown and hair looking like grandma's wig (including the flower). Looks to me someone has watched 'the world of suzie wong' a bit too often to be able to translate observations into tangible results. One of the many Pinkies... AJ
