Dolls Were Forced To Rename

Dolls Were Forced To Rename

A US toy company is renaming its Malia and Sasha dolls after a complaint by First Lady Michelle Obama.

The dolls, originally called Marvelous Malia and Sweet Sasha, will be named 'Marvelous Mariah' and 'Sweet Sydney'.

Dollmaker Ty Inc says it changed the names after Mrs Obama said that using her daughters' names was inappropriate.

It had said the dolls were not modelled on the Obama girls, but the names suited dolls they were already making."We appreciate the company's response to this matter," said Mrs Obama's press secretary, Katie McCormick Lelyveld.

Barack and Michelle Obama have two daughters: Malia Ann was born in 1998 and Sasha was born in 2001. Sasha is the youngest child to reside in the White House since. Malia and Sasha attend the private Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC, the same school as attended by Chelsea Clinton, Tricia Nixon Cox, and Archibald Roosevelt.

The dolls were part of the Ty Girlz Collection, and went on sale in January, joining others in the same range called Bubbly Britney, Lucky Lindsay and Precious Paris.

Lego Obama Takes the Oath

Legoland has stolen a march on the real world by creating an incredibly detailed model of Barack Obama's inauguration as US President.


The model version is already the main attraction at the California theme park - ahead of the highly anticipated real thing.


Lego master craftsmen created a model White House, motorcade, Mr Obama and his whole family - and even queues to the porta-loos.


More than 1,000 mini Lego people surround the construction, with onlookers including outgoing George W Bush and Hillary and Bill Clinton.
