  Fulla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to Skáldskaparmál, höfuðband Fullu (ribbon of Fulla) is a kenning for gold.
A more garbled example is found in Gísla saga: "Fulla of rain of spear-shafts hall" (Fals hallar /skal/ Fulla fagrleit), which breaks down to simply meaning woman.
That Fulla is the sister of Frigg does not appear in the Norse literature.

 Floridian: Coverup girl
Fulla is 11-1/2 inches tall, like Barbie, and has long fl hair with dramatic burgundy streaks.
Fulla is named for a fragrant flower often made into garlands in the Mideast.
Fulla may frequent the souks of the Mideast and Barbie may hang out in the malls of America, but they were "born" in the same place - China.

 Integral blog, spirituality blog, religion blog, Rising Up: Fulla: An Integral Icon for the Middle East? by Joe Perez   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Fulla's popularity is attributed to the fact that she appeals to the traditional values of Muslim culture (she comes with her own prayer rug and is depicted in advertisements as obedient to her parents).
Fulla is also an object of suspicion by cultural pluralists, who confusedly want to embrace a doll that reflects the Muslim cultural differences, but then also embraces traditional Islamic religion at the same time.
Fulla and similar dolls can help a new generation of girls to integrate traditional, rationalist, pluralist, and integralist sensibilities into the practical, ordinary, everyday aspects of their lives.

 Haystak: Car Fulla White Boys - PopMatters Music Review
Immediate sign of trouble: in the special dedications on the CD jacket, Haystack says he would like to "dedicate this project to my grandparents for their patients".
We get the sounds of a revving car engine to open the track (how cute!), while Haystak is at his most nasal and abrasive, delivering lines like "A bunch of dirty white guys, completely insane / Go to war on you like Saddam Hussein" (followed by a cheesy bomb sound effect).
To cap it off there's the refrain "It's on for tonight boy / Car fulla white boys" delivered in a voice normally reserved for monster truck rally commercials, which no doubt speaks to Stak's target audience.
