A new Barbie will help celebrate the largest Indian festival of the year. Mattel announced the release of its first “Barbie Diwali doll” on Friday in an homage to the Hindu holiday of Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, which is marked on Western calendars as Nov 1. “In celebration of Diwali, Barbie and I are both encouraging fans around the world to celebrate the beautiful heritage of Indian fashion and culture,” Dongre said in a news release. The Barbie Diwali doll comes with golden earrings, “reflecting the radiant lights of the festival.” Rafael Ortega / MattelIn designing the look, Dongre sought to incorporate “modern aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship.” The lehenga features dahlias, jasmine and Indian lotus, which symbolize strength and beauty. “Barbie used to be a more singular reflection of beauty and more one-dimensional,” Mattel’s executive vice president and chief brand officer, Lisa McKnight, told Reuters.

☆ How the Record Man Harvey Averne Helped Take Latin Music Worldwide
  + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( Jessica Lipsky | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Harvey Averne begins most days with a bialy and whitefish salad. He watches “Morning Joe,” plays with his cat, Coco Baby, and fields calls from Latin music legends like Joe Bataan at his eclectic but tidy Woodhaven, Queens apartment. Averne is one of the last of the Latin music giants: a Jewish kid from East New York who had a hand in the development of Latin music, from the borscht belt to boogaloo and salsa. “I didn’t understand a word they’re saying, but that’s OK — you don’t understand a word in the opera.”As a producer, manager and musician, Averne has a storied history behind the scenes at some of New York’s biggest Latin music labels. At his own Coco Records, which released Latin jazz and salsa, Averne’s work with the pianist Eddie Palmieri earned the first two Grammy Awards for Latin music.

10:30 p.m. Love the nightlifeFuel your night out with a Coke or a cafe con leche at the Café Coca Cola on Plaza Santa Ana, which — according to its creation myth — has been serving revolutionaries, dictators, Hollywood actors and celebrated poets since the late 19th century. On the edge of Casco, this historic diner and its beautiful neighboring plaza offers a taste of what the Old Town used to be. Walk two blocks to the Selina hostel’s rooftop bar and restaurant, Tacos La Neta , which turns into a party scene at night, when D.J.s play cumbia or remixes of the Cuban-American singer Celia Cruz until 2 a.m. A glimpse of the city’s nightlife is worth the cost of admission ($5) and there are plant-filled nooks in which to drink and people watch. It’s packed after 9:30 p.m. or so on a weekend, with throngs waiting to get in.
