BEAT STREET - Dorian Development

Dorian is the goth bassist of Beat Street and represents 80s goth culture in the Beat Street doll line. Dorian is intentionally androgynous, and his design is used to highlight the gender fluidity of the goth scene, where makeup, accessories, dresses, meshes, and heels were worn by men and women alike.
The term Dorian in music mean "equivalent to the natural minor scale but with a major sixth"
