Even from the grave Selena Quintanilla is still making waves within the entertainment and beauty industries. Fans of the late singer created a petition for MAC Cosmetics to create a Selena inspired line and now they are dying for more memorabilia of the star. It is being reported that a petition has been created with fans requesting more Selena memorabilia.
According to the Corpus Christi Caller Times, Selena fans are hoping a petition will lead toy makers to create a Barbie doll in the iconic singer's likeness. Fans have created a petition via Change.org which has garnered over 7,000 signatures as of today.
The site reports that the petition, which began 11 months ago, notes the recent direction Mattel, Inc. — Barbie's creator — has taken with its doll line.
"They're now making a bigger effort in producing dolls with different skin tones, hair textures, height and body shapes," the petition states. "As a huge Selena fan and Barbie collector, we want Mattel to create an official Selena doll in her likeness."
This petition would not be the first for Selena supporters. Flashback to 2 years ago, Selena fans created a petition urging MAC Cosmetics to create a Selena line gathered 37,735 signatures. In April the company announced it would design and create a Selena line with the help of her family.
The makeup line was such a success it was one of the highest grossing launches MAC has done, said Kristen Bily, marketing and communications for the Bank Center.
Fans also created a petition in 2015 for Madame Tussauds to create a wax figure made in her honor after nearly 10,000 people digitally signed a Change.org petition. Her figure is valued at about $350,000 and is dressed in a stage look from one of her concerts at Memorial Coliseum in February 1993.
