Timely! I just saw this today and was going to share it here. I thought it was very well done, and in some cases, I think I like the spoof version more!

Artist Sonia Singh of Tasmania does 'Make Unders' of second-hand Bratz dolls for her site Tree Change Dolls. She removes their makeup, paints on more kid-relatable faces, and creates new outfits for them. The before and after shots highlight the strong effects of make-up on the original dolls.

I am not even sure where I found the link to this blog but find it fascinating. The Directrice is a new blog written by a lawyer who likes to add interest and personality in a "staid" work environment. As an example, in a discussion on whether she was beyond the age for Docs, she notes that when she is 65 they will act as ankle weights to build bone density. The site is full of interesting perspectives written extremely well. I plan to spend more time exploring.

This fascinating and moving video from AEON shows us what happens to our clothes when we pass them along—and what the people who recycle them imagine it is like to wear them.

Janet - How brilliantly done. I love it!
Vildy - Super.
Laurinda - What a fascinating project.
Cheryle - I think we linked to a specific blog post last week:-) I'm really enjoying The Directrice too, and we'll definitely add a general link to her blog this week.
Oh Suz - I was a little speechless after watching that video. It's uplifting, sad, funny and eye-opening all at the same time. (and Reshma's smile is enchanting).
Tanya - Fun! And very timely indeed.

Thank you so much everyone. These are all brilliant.

Not sure if we are supposed to comment on these links but I've a very late night at work. Just finished reviewing everything. Thank you some fun and thought provoking all very interesting.

What stood out to me was the Aeon video Unravel never really thought about where my clothing went beyond the thrift stores or when passed on to someone else. Very eye opening the thoughts of us Westerners from these wonderful people.

I'm taking a quote from one of the men " You tend to get dressed for other people. But, at the end of the day you'll be as beautiful as God made you. All people have a natural beauty"

touching and truthful

Ha, good one, MuseumGal. Thank you.
Ladywone - Feel free to comment on these threads, or on the Link Love blog posts, or both. It is all good, and we always welcome discussions about these links and any other thread started here on the forum.
I was nodding along with everything you wrote. I'd never really thought about where the clothes could eventually end up either, or how people who see our old clothes imagine what our lives are like. The quote really touched me to_
