It's called "dolls hackings" and says no to the model of a perfect and standardized woman, transforming dolls from sexualized to "free"
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himTo redo the connotations of the dolls, personalizing them and making them more natural. It is called "dolls hackings", the phenomenon that is spreading among girls and which means no to a model of a perfect and standardized woman, as the only model to aspire to. The Barbies and the Bratz thus become soap and water dolls.
Made up in an objectively showy way, skimpy dresses and high heels, the beauty standards of these "action dolls" are redefined by girls armed with cotton pads and solvent, revolutionizing the best-selling beauty standards.

A revolt that originates from an article by The New Yorker (signed by Jill Lepore), about the long-standing legal battle between Barbie and Bratz and their story of “sexy” dolls, and from XNUMX-year-old Violetta, who lives in Hawaii, who wrote to the director in response. "I never wanted a Barbie or a Bratz until I discovered doll reconstruction."
These little @treechangedolls are ready to head off to school! I will have a group of school-ready dolls available in my @etsyau shop on 7th Feb at 10pm AEDT. Education for girls is important and I will be donating 10% of each sale to @plan_australia to help support global education for girls.

Behind her are little girls who transform dolls into models closer to their lives: what they do is erase the characteristics of the doll with a nail polish remover, then remove flashy hairstyles and maybe even make changes to the body. In the wake of what the ex-scientist Sonia Singh proposes, who has taken up another good habit: she recovers old dolls, repairs them and brings them to new life: she removes make-up, repaints them, undresses them, reinvents clothes. All closer to the world of girls.
On her blog Tree Change Dolls all the outstanding achievements are shown and she also offers a pdf guide for re-styling the dolls.
An idea that actually takes up the story of Wendy Tsao, an American mom who decided to remove the heavy makeup from Bratz and add some homemade features to create dolls modeled on real women; or the story of Mim Hammonds, the artist who transforms dolls giving them the appearance of "normal girls".
Finally, on YouTube, you can find several tutorials on how to remove paint from dolls.
