Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism This doll reminds me of home - Trinidad and Tobago. On the left side of her face she has a tatoo (if I can call it that) of Trinidad. She looks everything like Carnival - our biggest event of the year. In case you don't know of Trinidad and Tobago, carnival and steelpan is our thing. Our country comprises people of all ethnicities and races. Most of us, like myself, they call 'callaloo' because we are mixed with everything from Spanish and African to Indian and Chinese. You would have a blast if you visit Trinidad and Tobago and when you do, this doll will become more than just a collector's item...it will become part of a beautiful memory. So just because she looks like a 'TRINI' I give her a SUPER BIG 5 Barbie Collector Dolls Of The World Carnaval Barbie Doll Available from Amazon Updated on 11-8-2008.
