"Tree Change Dolls"

are re-worked

"Bratz" Dolls 

Another interesting viral phenomena happening online in Reddit, Facebook and Tumblr pages, are the handiwork of an Australian mother, Sonia Singh. She has named her work, "Tree Change Dolls".

Left - a "Bratz" face. Right - Sonja Singh's hand painted creation, a "Tree Change Doll".
It is the same doll head, but the original paint has been removed
and a new face repainted with softer more natural features.

Just for fun, the stay at home mom, bought some used "Bratz" dolls from several second hand stores, removed the paint on the faces and repainted her faces onto them. She swapped-out the high-maintenance glitz'n'glamour for a more down-to-earth, natural appearance. 

The sexualization choice of heavy face make-up, with the large dark eyes and the giant painted lips was what the manufacturer perceived the market wants - the dolls young girls want to play with. The manufactured "Bratz" dolls tend more toward a celebrity image, or even celebrity want-to-be teens. Both types of people her neighborhood's kids have never known. 

The children in Sonia's neighborhood, feel her "Tree Change Dolls" are friendlier. They can relate to them and think of them as their same age. "Tree Change Dolls" look normal, like people the kids actually know.

Those who have seen the transformations Sonja makes in these dolls say, "THEY LOOK SO MUCH HAPPIER NOW!"

Sonia's response to all of this attention for what she thought was just a hobby: "What is my business plan? Whoa!?! I am not a doll manufacturer and I don't really want to be. If something comes of this, then that will be good."
