in fact dolls make me so nervous that I don't like to say "I hate them" lest they kill me in the night with their cold porcelin bodies and piercing glass eyes!
i don't really like dolls either. i didn't buy this one to keep around the house as decor... i just thought he was truly awe-inspiringly scary, and thought he'd be a neat art-project-component. i like the patina of his wee head.
You really don't like dolls and you claim to be my friend? Hmph! Barbie and Gene and Tyler and Daisy and Willow and Twiggy and Francie and Casey and Stacey and Christie aren't talking to you any longer. So there! Nyah!
not THOSE kinds of dolls... those are more like fashion action figures! no, i'm talking about the ceramic oldfashioned kind. esp the kind that look like kids in adult clothes. mme alexander are prolly the creepiest overall.
dude... no doubt! i mean, i really want to know WHO GOUGED OUT HIS EYES? HE HAS NO EYES!!!!! how did his head get to be that weird mix of colors? how old is he? sheesh.
you seem particularly fascinated with him tonight, i might add... ;)
I am like that with dolls and other scary things. I don't think I ever grew up because I have some little kid fears- I am very jumpy about walking across dark rooms, and I cant hang my feet over the bed. also I sleep with my back towards the wall because I am not 100% sure that something won't grab me. I am both fascinated and repelled by scary things. People sometimes love to scare me because its easy to do- they like to chase me around and make me shriek or tell me scary stories. It may have something to do with being somewhat gullible or imaginative? I used to have this snow white doll... i had to keep her in the hallway because I couldnt stand her looking at me. sometimes I would stare at her to make sure she wasnt alive.
My friend's mom actually made dolls... so the anatomically correct bodies and the little glass eyeballs would be sitting around in boxes. SO CREEPY.
oooh i have all kinds of stories like that. like, my uncle made these puppets for christmas one year, in the likenesses of various family members... and the puppets were known to like move their eyes when only one person was around to see it. they were really creepy and my grandmother kept both hers and my grandfather's in her bedroom, and it used to be my guest room when staying over.
also, my cousins had a tshirt with the Mummy on it when i was a little kid, a glitter transfer, and I was TERRIFIED of it. auuuugggggghhhhh!!!!!
he used to be an artist. he and his wife lived in the boonies in Ohio and had big dogs and a strange old house and made art stuff and fought a lot. i think his degree is in art or something, tho i know he was a high school counsellor after college....
then he got divorced and remarried and has a houseful of kids now in the burbs and doesn't do much art stuff at all. sigh.
I don't like puppets (understatement) Ironically I LOVE muppets, but just plain puppets are evil- like marionettes. I remember seeing puppet shows as a little kid, a touring puppet show company would do shows for us... and in this one show we all sat in a circle, while these horrible marionettes pranced around way too close to us, jumped around wildly as if they were posessed. The puppeteers thought that would be cute or entertaining- it was like the puppets were alive. I hate the way they move-kind of stuff but kind of realistic... i dont even like Pinocchio
I think you should attach it to some string, nail the string to the ceiling above your bed, and have the thing dangle over your head while you sleep, see what happens...
hah... nooooo, i don't think so. the phrase "while you sleep" being an operative reason. like i could sleep with ANYTHING dangling over my head, let alone the scarybabyhead of damocles! ;)
shit.. make that the Axons, not autons. and if you figure out where that comes from, yes, I am a massive enough geek to have looked it up to make sure I got it right. Or wrong, in this case.
Okay, now that is just plain evil!! It is a good thing I saw that pic this morning and not last night before bedtime!
But it is fascinating also... like so horrifying that you still have to keep looking. It looks like someone ceramic-coated a real head (I knew that shrunken head/headhunter show on last night would come back to haunt me).
