    im 16 and i started wearing makeup at 13 . i didnt wear it to cover up my face or because i didnt feel good enough . i did it because i saw makeup as an art form it became my passion my dream to go to beauty school . Makeup isnt always bad . it made me happy and changed my life .

    This artist has changed these seemingly "sexual" dolls to miniature "American Girl Dolls". With heavy make up removed, and tiny sweaters and skirts, they are adorable! As a doll collector, I think they are beautiful. As a Grandma, I think they are wonderful and wholesome....the kind of toy, I would want my children and grandchildren to relate too!

    I don't think this is a new "feminist thing" or movement. She is a mother that simply wants to recycle old dolls. The most popular dolls when i was growing up were American Girl dolls. They have always sent a positive message and always will. I'm shocked more toy companies haven't made more barbie doll sized dolls like Skipper or Chelsea for younger girls. There is nothing wrong with having dolls with makeup, and there shouldn't be anything wrong with dolls without makeup. Parents and children should have that choice. Isn't life all about choices?

    2:09 at least you're a woman, i'm a 34 year old man and i love dolls. but due to society's standards i'm so afraid to admit it. her dolls are so cute, she does amazing work

    Wow i thought this was going to be a load of feminist crap bashing 'the media' or something but it wasn't. It was really sweet and I enjoyed it. And the dolls do look a lot better.

  • @Staurosporine
    @Staurosporine 9 років тому +28

    I remember how, as a little girl, I was totally excited when my classmate came with a Barbie doll wearing a SWEATER! That was totally amazing, a sweater for Barbie doll!
    (her mother has made it)
    I've never seen it before, either in store or in Matell catalogue, and I really wanted it, because it was a great thing when you want to play with your dolls some everyday activity, where their party / evening dresses don't fit.

  • @Mageneated
    @Mageneated 7 років тому +415

    I kinda don't like the dolls cause I feel like they all look white? When I was younger, me and some friends liked brats dolls more than barbie or other ones because we felt that they looked more like us then other ones did
    Like, I have lips, why are people hating on bratz for having big lips oml

  • @LoraineAdcock

  • @jasonrobertkeef
    @jasonrobertkeef 9 років тому +28

    I think the dolls are beautiful. This is such a fantastic idea. I have nothing against Bratz dolls at all. I think they are great fashion dolls as well...but they aren't versatile when it comes to giving a child something to relate to. You can be cute and fashionable without all of the makeup. Kudos to the creative mind of this lady. :)

  • @tnewm39

  • @IfCoalWereMadeofDiamondsAJ
    @IfCoalWereMadeofDiamondsAJ 8 років тому +402

    What I like about her dolls most is like unlike the originals they're actually smiling! Normal Bratz dolls always have this weird duckface-like expression on their face (kinda like someone that got so much lip surgery that they don't have the ability to smile). I think it's a real step forward and a great influence on younger ages, we shouldn't have to dress up all sexual or anything.

  • @AnadiaDK
    @AnadiaDK 9 років тому +264

    So much better! They should make dolls like that instead of the fake looking ones. These look so friendly!

  • @MsRubberducky27
    @MsRubberducky27 8 років тому +358

    I used to play with the brats dolls and I always hated how they look. I never liked it. But I grew up and now I don't play with them. I am 16. But I just grew out of them I guess. But this is a awesome idea. I am so glad this is made. I would want kids to play with these instead of bratts or barbies. TBH. Good Job. :)

  • @trinityramos2098
    @trinityramos2098 9 років тому +100

    I think this is amazing , you are doing and inspiring something that so many young people need, a "person" toy that does not resemble an adult, a promiscuous teen, nor an infant, but rather the small innocent people (children) playing with them, showing them ...there is value and adventure in being naturally yourself, just how you are, and when you are, and who you are.....from the clothes that scream personality instead of promiscuity, to the faces that demand their innocence, and individuality be embraced rather than their "attitude" or "pageant likeness". This is a needed toy for our children. I love this, please never stop.

  • @stacystec
    @stacystec 9 років тому +7

    Pretty cool, amazing how the nature of the doll changes when the face makeup is removed.

  • @RainAngel111
    @RainAngel111 9 років тому +110

    Lovely! They remind me of the baby dolls I had as a little girl, except grown up a bit to a kid/preteen stage.
    I had the exact same thought in mind: these are the kinds of dolls I'd want my daughters to play with.

  • @Miss.chrisss

    Bratz are designed to look glammed up. I don't understand why you buy them if you don't like how they originally look. there are tons of more toned down dolls. go buy them. I don't like trucks but I'm not gonna go buy a truck and try to make it look like a car. that would be stupid.

    I really like these dolls and the fun this woman had in restoring discarded dolls. I love the fact that this woman enjoyed her hobby so much and her efforts were motivated by that. Her husband is darling, too, to praise his wife for her skills. She is an excellent artist. Her mother is a great artist as well and such a dear person to make outfits for each doll individually. I hope the toy companies take note and change dolls for our little girls. I loved the responses from the girls playing with the Tree Change Dolls and their dialogues. They sounded like little girls playing dolls in natural settings to them. Really, I was delighted with seeing the video and gladly share it..

  • @shastahall7110

  • @zacharywhitted5792
    @zacharywhitted5792 8 років тому +70

    and also as a Bratz Collector you are ruining these dolls original hair and face paint. if these end up back in a thrift store 10 years from now... which they will a person looking for Bratz like me is gonna ignore them and they will eventually be thrown out in the garbage. #honest

    *SBS2Australia* The first time I watched this was when it first popped up in my news feed on facebook shortly after it was published. I hadn't a UA-cam account at the time so I have come back to leave a comment. I'm a huge fan of yours.! I love people who take these Dance Club Divas and turn them into life like little girls.! So wholesome. The world needs more wholesome influence. God bless you Sonia Singh and your wonderful family.! :)

    I'm sure you hear this all the time, but if I ever have daughters, these are the types of dolls I would want them to play with. They remind me very much of a smaller version of an American Girl Doll. I pray that your designs will help change the doll making industry.

    I never liked the Bratz dolls, even as a kid--Yeah, I did play with them a couple of times with a friend, but they weren't something I wanted for myself. I preferred Barbies and the character dolls like the Disney Princesses and surprising, an Anatasia doll for the 1997 film by Don Bluth.

    You don't ever need to hold onto shame or ever have had shame for loving dolls. It is a expression off creativity just like cooking with Mom. It is a common love you share with your Mom, who makes the doll clothes. There is nothing shameful about that. Right there are two generations of doll lovers. Share that with her and build up little girls.

    This is the best clip I've watched on UA-cam in a very very long time. What a remarkable woman. Congratulations on the massive success and interest this has attracted simply by doing something you love and in the process providing a vital message.
    I haven't really noticed how hideous those dolls are when they're on the shelves at department stores. They look shocking. They are creating this unrealistic expectation of what beauty is for young girls.
    Well done to this woman and all the best with this venture.
