This is Kim. She is a petite tattooed middle-aged Māori wāhine who is smiling and wearing glasses. Her outfit today is: leopard spot velvet dress with tube top and gold belt. She is dancing in her office.

Okay not keen on the Barbie vibe but do love this www.rnz.co.nz/life/people/... ❤️

NZ rugby legend 'ridiculed' as a teen, turned into a Barbie

Black Ferns rugby star Portia Woodman-Wickliffe was confused by her strong build growing up. Now she has inspired a doll with muscles, tā moko and curly hair.

I tīmata ahau i tēnei rā i te karakia! Ka haere ahau ki te rata niho mō te horoi me te hihiria. Kāore au e āwangawanga pea! Hā ki roto, hā ki waho….

Mōrena e te whānau. Off to dentist this morning. Kia a pai te rā #BeingMāori #VisualSovereignty

A smiling Māori woman with long dark hair stands in an office, wearing a blue headband, distinctive circular glasses, a navy and pink plaid blazer over a denim vest, white top with blue design, and blue pleated skirt. Behind her are framed certificates on white walls. A wooden office door with a nameplate is visible to the right.

My daughter and my daughter in law both train drivers for Met! I have heard a bit about the self driving trains as she has been driving them in the tunnel! Billie is also a bit of a gunzel! She loved Thomas when she was little!
