BOCA RATON, Fla. - When it comes to dolls, 8-year-old
Angelina Giani of Boca Raton, Florida is a huge fan of Bratz dolls with over 30
in her collection. "Like 30, or 36," she said.
But Angelina started to notice they don't look quite like her. "They have blonde hair and they're mostly, very, very tall," said Giani.
So, the 8-year-old from Boca Raton decided to write a letter to the company that makes Bratz dolls.
In her letter, “Dear
MGA, I am a very big fan of you. I love all the dolls you make.” Angelina asked if they could create a doll that resembled her. She even sent drawings depicting 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.
Then four weeks later, the drawings were brought to life.
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.

"They actually made them and sent them in a box. I never knew they were going to
respond, I didn't think they would take her seriously. It
felt kinda cool, and I felt proud.” said Angelina Giani.
MGA Entertainment, based in Los Angeles, produced three custom made dolls, and said in a statement: "We were very impressed and touched by Angelina's designs." Angelina's mom looked at this as a writing exercise for her daughter, but didn't expect the response.
"I never knew they were going to respond, I didn't think they would take her seriously," said Rosiana Giani.
Angelina hopes that one day her designs will be put on store shelves so everybody can buy them.
