If you think that only kids play with dolls, you couldn’t be more wrong. Apparently, adults like Barbie dolls just as much as children, and one of those people is Tonya Ruiz, also known as Grandma Gets Real. After years of actively campaigning against Barbie dolls for the unrealistic body standards they set for little girls, not so long ago, Tonya found out that Barbies are much more realistic these days. It has helped her to spiral back to a world of the dolls she loved as a kid. Now the woman spends her free time creating scenes showing what Barbies would look like if they were real people. Her latest project—quarantine Barbies. Ever since she noticed parody dolls on Ellen’s show, Tonya has always wanted to create her own and was inspired by the lockdown. Unsurprisingly, people loved how relatable these dolls are.
