Mom so tired of sexualized dolls she gives them a "makeunder"

Thank you for sharing this Miss K. The before pictures are so grotesque compared to the after pictures side by side. My daughter and I looked at this woman's website last night and she preferred the more natural looking doll. In her words, the originals were "weird looking." Of course she then asked if we had any nail polish remover, so I imagine, some of her dolls might be getting makeunders in the near future. She has a Ken doll (male version of Barbie) who now sports a beard courtesy of a sharpie marker. His new look emerged at the same time Daddy was growing one and I think she just needed something more realistic to identify with. I commend this woman for trying to accomplish that.

Fantastic pictures! Thanks Miss.K for sharing.
Love seeing those new dolls, they actually look like nice dolls to give to a child! I have a toy store and do not sell any Barbie, or Bratz or any of those dolls. I just offer rag dolls and dolls that look and dress like girls. I'm so tired of seeing these 'woman' dolls with blown up fish lips, tiny waists, skimpy skirts, big breasts and micro feet....jeeezzzz it's gives them such an unrealistic image of themselves because they will never be like that.....unless they get plastic surgery! Which a lot of them will unfortunately, seeing that our society pumps out these fake images every chance they get.
Here's a photo of what Barbie would look like if she were more realistic ;)

Very nice make over of the dolls, good idea. The sexulised ones certainly are pathological. It would be interesting to see a psychological profile of these doll designers Who are these people! Bring them out in the open! Toys and dolls are such a important part of childhood and we forget about that unless we have little ones running around to consider. I was immersed in my second childhood recently while buying dolls and doll furniture for my granddaughter. Madam Alexander has some appropriate ones that are fully jointed. Here is a picture of dolls from the past (1800's early 1900's), china heads, saw dust ladies. The heads where bought and the bodies made at home usually.
