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.”

据美国雅虎新闻网站9月26日报道,美国佛罗里达州博卡拉顿一个名叫安杰利娜·贾尼(Angelina Giani)的8岁女孩是贝兹娃娃(Bratz doll)的超级粉丝,迄今为止,她已经收集了30个贝兹娃娃。

安杰利娜发现,这些娃娃长得并不像她。她告诉当地媒体:“这些娃娃大部分是金色头发,她们还非常高。”另据报道,贝兹娃娃一向以浓妆、迷你裙和露脐装著称。

安杰利娜给贝兹娃娃的厂商写信,要求他们设计一种更像她自己的娃娃,她还在这封亲笔信里寄去了几份自己的设计。设计图上的娃娃仅施淡妆,头发比较段,裙子稍长,安杰利娜觉得这样的娃娃更像她。

安杰利娜的母亲罗萨娜·贾尼说,女儿一直都是与众不同的,她常常修改自己的衣服,比如剪掉长袖、在过短的睡裤上缝上花边。

这封信发出四周后,位于旧金山的MGA娱乐公司出人意料地寄来三个依照安杰利娜的设计特别定制的娃娃。一个娃娃穿着彩虹色连衣裙,一个穿着荧光绿上衣和牛仔裤,还有一个则穿着亮粉色的及膝连衣裙。MGA娱乐公司给娃娃调整了妆容,并根据安杰利娜的描述给其中一个娃娃做了波波头。

贝兹娃娃的品牌经理莱拉·卡沙尼说:“我们真的被她打动了。这些设计和模型与我们需要的信息非常相符,我们一直试图弄清楚现实中的女孩穿些什么、做些什么。”

罗萨娜开始以为这封信只是女儿练习作文的好机会,她对当地媒体说,“我绝没想到他们会回信,我没想到他们会对一个孩子的信这么重视。”安杰利娜则说:“感觉挺酷的,我觉得很自豪。”
