I don’t know too much about fashion websites for tweens. But last week, my friend Larissa introduced me to Stardoll and I can tell you this: they are making a difference with their newest doll: Aung San Suu Kyi

Stardoll is a virtual “paperdoll community for everyone who enjoys fashion, design and making friends.”   There are over 21 million members- primarily girls and young women between 7-17.  And now these 21 million plus members can not only find new outfits for this Nobel peace prize winning prisoner of conscience but they can also learn about the history and struggle of one of the greatest advocates of peaceful resistance.
