It's Bald Barbie: Mattel to produce hairless doll after cancer victim's inspirational campaign

 A campaign to create an all-new Barbie kickstarted by the plight of a four-year-old girl who had lost her hair during cancer treatment has inspired Mattel to manufacture a bald version of the famously blonde fashion doll.

But she won't be available in stores.

The doll, who will be a friend of Barbie, will be distributed exclusively to hospitals treating children with cancer throughout the U.S. and Canada, according to Mattel.

The announcement comes after a Facebook group called 'Beautiful and Bald Barbie! Let's see if we can get it made', urged the company to produce the toy in effort to reach girls most affected by hair-loss.

 Bald and beautiful: Mattel will distribute the new fashion doll exclusively to hospitals treating children with cancer throughout the U.S. and Canada

According to a press release, the doll will include 'hats, scarves and other fashion accessories to provide girls with a traditional fashion play experience.'
Wigs and head coverings can also be interchanged or completely removed.
The idea for a bald Barbie doll was first inspired by four-year-old Genesis Reyes, from Mineola, Long Island, who had lost her hair after treatment for cancer.

When the youngster announced that she did not feel like a princess without her hair, a parent of another child being treated at the same hospital, asked the CEO of Mattel, a personal friend, to create a one-off Genesis doll.
Longtime friends Jane Bingham and Beckie Sypin, having heard about Genesis' touching story, created the Facebook page in January, asking Mattel to commercially manufacture a similar doll to bring the same joy to other youngsters dealing with hair-loss.

Petition: The announcement comes after a Facebook group called 'Beautiful and Bald Barbie! Let's see if we can get it made', gained momentum

Within three months, the page had earned over 150,000 likes, worldwide headlines, and finally - the attention of Mattel.
New Jersey-based Mrs Bingham, 41, told MailOnline: 'When I read the article about Mattel making a one of a kind bald Barbie for Genesis, I though how wonderful that would be, with so many other children dealing with hair-loss from chemo, aloepcia or trichotillomania.
'I thought we could raise awareness for these conditions. Raise awareness that children get cancer too... It would be a win all around.'
Mrs Bingham, who herself has lost her hair after ongoing chemotherapy treatment for an incurable form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, told how her nine-year-old daughter, Belleliana, first reacted to her hair-loss by trying to mirror the ways she covered her head.
'It takes an emotional toll on the child,' she said. 'I had very long blond hair... She would mimic me and she would try and wrap scarves on her head too.'
She revealed that Belleliana, who also has a close friend with alopecia, was very excited about the idea of a bald Barbie.

Making a difference: Jane Bingham, who has lost her hair after chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, with nine-year-old daughter Belleliana, co-created the Facebook page

Uplifting: Beckie Sypin's daughter Kin Inich, 12, embraced her hair-loss with a creative approach, even letting friends draw on her head

So too is the 12-year-old daughter of Ms Sypin, Kin Inich, who, though perhaps too old for Barbie dolls herself, feels passionately in favour of the idea having lost her own hair after treatment over the past year for leukaemia.
Indeed, Ms Sypin, 32, who lives near Los Angeles, California, described how her Kin had embraced her hair-loss with a creative approach.
'She’s completely crazy with it,' she revealed. 'At first it was hats and scarves... [then she started choosing] the biggest headbands, and in the summer was wearing temporary tatooos, and letting her friends draw faces on her head... It's kind of become a game at our house!'
But though Kin had an admirable attitude, many of the other children she met during treatment had a hard time with their hair-loss.
'Most take the hair loss harder than the diagnosis,' Ms Sypin admitted.
To the ladies' delight, the company's decision to manufacture the one-of-a-kind doll is a philanthropic one.
Mattel has made the 'decision not to sell these dolls at retail stores and profit from them, but rather more directly and immediately get these into the hands of children who can most benefit from a play experience with these dolls'.
The company also plans to donate some of the dolls to National Alopecia Areata Foundation and CureSearch for Children’s Cancer.
Mattel is not the first doll-maker to produce such a toy.
MGA announced in February plans to manufacture a line of bald Bratz and Moxie Girlz dolls set for release in June.

Doll-Like Dakota Fanning Talks Fame with Wonderland

She's enjoyed over a decade of solid work in Hollywood while still just eighteen-years-old, and Dakota Fanning found herself chosen to grace the cover of the April/May 2012 issue of Wonderland magazine.
Donning heavy eye-liner and a high neck blouse for the publication's front page, the "Breaking Dawn" actress struck a range of doll-like poses for the Cedric Buchet shot spread while opening up about topics such as fame at a young age and not being a fan of social media.

On being a young celebrity:
“I’ve never really felt like a child star, that name always felt really odd to me. I’ve just felt like I was an actor at 6 and 7 and, you know, a child who happened to act. But when you turn 18 you’re seen as able to do more things and more roles.”
On her career taking off after starring in 'I Am Sam':
“For someone who’s that young to feel completely at home being filmed playing someone else, that really means that that’s where you belong. So that’s how I view that film as a whole - as a moment when I just realized, ‘I could do this. I could do this forever.’”
On On being averse to social media:
“I just, I really don’t need to let people know where I am and what I’m doing. I feel like a lot of people want their privacy but yet they tell people where they are. [Laughs] It’s just not for me. I don’t have a Facebook or Twitter and I won’t ever. There’s plenty of impostors out there! There’s enough Dakota Fannings on Twitter for all of us!”

Celebrity kitties!

She wanted pictures of her and her bf for her 16th birthday. Did I do it right?

California Woman Accidentally Gives Winning Lottery Ticket to Homeless Man…Now She Wants It Back

Lightning doesn’t strike twice without a catch.

Emily Leach of Mountain View, California, thanked her lucky stars in January when she won $1 million on a lottery ticket, which was desperately needed to payoff substantial medical debts. With the new revenue, she performed random acts of kindness, like offering $100 to a homeless man waiting behind her in line at the same liquor store where she bought the winning ticket.

Despite already hitting the jackpot, the past winner still plays, and was at the liquor store to pickup an armload of Scratchers cards. During the transaction with the homeless man, she accidentally handed over one of her cards. The San Jose Mercury reports that Leach’s act of generosity turned out to be much grander than she originally anticipated:

    “Just how generous became apparent Sunday. That’s when Leach learned a lottery ticket purchased while she was in line had hit for $260,000. The still unidentified man she gave the $100 returned to the store Saturday to say he had the ticket, and according to Leach, to claim that her good luck had rubbed off on him.

    There was just one problem: Leach insists she never intended to buy the lottery ticket for him, and she wants it back.

    “That’s my ticket,” Leach said. “He knows it’s my ticket. I feel like I’m going to come off as a huge, huge bitch if I say, ‘You need to give me my ticket back.’ “

The California Lottery Commission is investigating Leach’s claim, but state officials tell ABC News that it looks like Leach gave the ticket away in security footage:
    “Russ Lopez, spokesman for the California Lottery, told ABC News they investigate disputes with tickets, and their security and law enforcement division looking into this case.

    ‘At this point we would not make a judgment as to who owns the ticket. The ticket has not been claimed yet. Once the ticket has been claimed then we can say a little bit more,’ Lopez said.

    However, he has seen part of the surveillance footage from the store and says it appears to show Leach giving away the tickets she bought to patrons in the store. They are trying to determine all the information before making a formal decision on who actually owns the ticket, he added.”

Lopez went on to say that the odds any one person could have won the $1 million lottery last January were 1 in 1.2million, and the chances of winning on the scratch-off last Friday were a staggering 1 in 3.9million.

'I've eaten nothing but pizza for eight years'

MEET Sophie Ray the teenager who has eaten nothing but cheese and tomato pizza for the last EIGHT YEARS.

 The 19-year-old from Wrexham, Wales, hasn't eaten a proper meal since she was two years old and gags if she puts anything other than a plain pizza slice in her mouth.

Sophie has lived on a diet of cheese and tomato pizza since she was 11 as even a slice of pepperoni is enough to turn her stomach.

The pretty teen suffers from a bizarre condition called Selective Eating Disorder (SED), which means she has a phobia of almost all foods, leaving her petrified to try new foods.

Sophie's condition began when she was two after she suffered from stomach bug, Gastroenteritis.

Following the illness, Sophie began to fear food and could only manage cheesy pasta, chips and lemon curd sandwiches before moving on to pizza when she was 11.

Sophie has lived on a diet of pizza ever since sometimes eating up to three a day.

The performing arts student said: "I love pizza, each brand offers a new flavour, but it's all the same food so I don't have to try new foods.
"I began selective eating when I was two. My mum said after I was ill, I became frightened to eat, I thought food had caused my illness.

"I began eating cheesy pasta or chips and then moved on to lemon curd sandwiches, which I ate every day for four years.

"I plucked up the courage to try pizza when I was 11 and I've eaten it every day since, sometimes I have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

"If I don't have chance to eat pizza before I start college I go all day without eating, because there's nothing else I can eat, so I wait until I get home and have one or sometimes two pizzas.

"It has to be cheese and tomato and it has to be cooked, I can't eat it cold and I can't have any toppings on it."

Sophie hasn't touched a fruit or vegetable in years and the thought of eating a varied meal terrifies her.

She said: "The thought of trying other foods makes me very anxious, I feel sick and really clam up.

"The taste the texture even the smell of some foods can make me gag.

"A lot of people think I'm just a picky eater but SED is a phobia. Asking me to try new foods is like asking someone who hates spiders to hold one.

"The more ingredients a food has in it the more terrifying I find it, a full English breakfast would be my worst nightmare, I feel really sick just looking at one."

Sophie visited a specialist two years ago who tried to encourage her to try new foods.

But she said while this helped reduce some of the anxiety she felt about trying new foods she is still unable to add variety to her diet and has continued to live on pizza.

She said: "Selective eating disorder makes me feel quite low, I get depressed at times and going out for meals with family or friends is a nightmare, so I often don't go.

"I know my diet isn't doing my health any good and I'd really love to eat normally but it's really hard to change my diet after eating like this for so long."

A spokesman from eating disorder charity BEAT said: "Selective eating disorder when someone focuses on one particular type of food, usually high-fat or carbohydrate, is generally a sign that there are deep emotional issues at work and they may feel their world is not in control.

"These issues must be addressed in order to overcome the illness.

"In the past selective eaters were generally thought to be young boys who survived on food like chips and sandwiches alone but recent research shows more adults seeking help for this illness.

"It can be very isolating with the individual not wishing to engage in social situations where food is involved.

"Research also shows that often people are genetically hard-wired in a way that makes them vulnerable to developing an eating disorders."
