Girl’s letter prompts Bratz dolls maker to create custom dolls
分享到
8-year-old Angelina Giani of Boca Raton, Florida is a huge fan of Bratz dolls with over 30 in her collection. But when she started to notice that the dolls didn’t really resemble her, she decided to write to MGA Entertainment, the company behind Bratz. Angelina told WPTV News Channel 5 that she felt, "They only have like blonde hair, mostly blonde hair and they're like very, very tall.” She wrote to the doll makers requesting that they create a doll that more closely resembled her and even sent designs to accompany the hand written letter. Angelina said her letter began, “Dear MGA, I am a very big fan of you. I love all the dolls you make.” The illustrations depicted dolls with less makeup, shorter hair and longer dresses, which she felt more closely reflected her look. Angelina’s mother, Rosana Giani, said that her daughter is never afraid of being different and customizes her own clothes by cutting long sleeves, or sewing ruffles on pajama pants that are too short. Four weeks after the letter was sent, LA based MGA Entertainment surprised Angelina and her mom by sending three custom made dolls that were inspired by their fan’s drawings. The company took Angelina’s sketches and transformed them into actual outfits for the dolls, used different shades to reflect the makeup drawn and gave one of the dolls a bob haircut like her illustration. “We were very impressed and touched by Angelina’s designs,” said an MGA representative. Rosana thought the letter was simply a great writing exercise for her daughter, and told WPTV, “I never knew they were going to respond, I didn't think they would take her seriously." Angelina said, “It felt kinda cool, and I felt proud.” |
據(jù)美國雅虎新聞網(wǎng)站9月26日報道,美國佛羅里達州博卡拉頓一個名叫安杰利娜·賈尼(Angelina Giani)的8歲女孩是貝茲娃娃(Bratz doll)的超級粉絲,迄今為止,她已經收集了30個貝茲娃娃。 安杰利娜發(fā)現(xiàn),這些娃娃長得并不像她。她告訴當?shù)孛襟w:“這些娃娃大部分是金色頭發(fā),她們還非常高?!绷頁?jù)報道,貝茲娃娃一向以濃妝、迷你裙和露臍裝著稱。 安杰利娜給貝茲娃娃的廠商寫信,要求他們設計一種更像她自己的娃娃,她還在這封親筆信里寄去了幾份自己的設計。設計圖上的娃娃僅施淡妝,頭發(fā)比較段,裙子稍長,安杰利娜覺得這樣的娃娃更像她。 安杰利娜的母親羅薩娜·賈尼說,女兒一直都是與眾不同的,她常常修改自己的衣服,比如剪掉長袖、在過短的睡褲上縫上花邊。 這封信發(fā)出四周后,位于舊金山的MGA娛樂公司出人意料地寄來三個依照安杰利娜的設計特別定制的娃娃。一個娃娃穿著彩虹色連衣裙,一個穿著熒光綠上衣和牛仔褲,還有一個則穿著亮粉色的及膝連衣裙。MGA娛樂公司給娃娃調整了妝容,并根據(jù)安杰利娜的描述給其中一個娃娃做了波波頭。 貝茲娃娃的品牌經理萊拉·卡沙尼說:“我們真的被她打動了。這些設計和模型與我們需要的信息非常相符,我們一直試圖弄清楚現(xiàn)實中的女孩穿些什么、做些什么?!?/p> 羅薩娜開始以為這封信只是女兒練習作文的好機會,她對當?shù)孛襟w說,“我絕沒想到他們會回信,我沒想到他們會對一個孩子的信這么重視?!卑步芾葎t說:“感覺挺酷的,我覺得很自豪?!?/p> (譯者 sxdns717 編輯 嚴玉潔) |
