scary dolls
Jul. 3rd, 2002 07:15 pmI found a series of scary dolls at Toys R Us today. They are called "Hook Ups" and they are soft dolls about 8 inches tall in various outfits -- every awful pop culture sterotype you can imagine (10 in all). They have a snap hook in the back so one can clip them to things. The creepiest thing about them is their mouths -- painted on little hearts to match their outfits.
I wanted all 10! But, having just spent over $1000 on a sewing machine, I really didn't think I could justify it. I couldn't resist completely, so I bought the "punk" one, Kat. But really she's more like a bondage princess, with green hair and black clothes, a spiked dog collar and a chain, padlock (heart-shaped to match her mouth!) and key. A truly subversive little doll to find on the shelves at Toys R Us! I'm not sure whether to give her to someone, or clip her to my purse when I go back to school in the fall so I can disturb my mundane classmates.
(There is another one gosling would like... named "Raven." She has long dark hair and is wearing purple...)
I bought her on the way to visit Marmota. His reaction, upon seeing her and the photos of the other ones on her package, was "gee, kind of like the crowd at Diesel." Except there are no boy dolls, so I said, "more like Lesbian Night at Diesel." We got some giggles out of that.
After brunching at Sound Bites Cafe, marmota needed to stop in at CVS on Broadway in Somerville, near Willow St. There I found another scary doll -- Oreo cookie Barbie. Yes, a standard blond Barbie doll decked out in an Oreo themed outfit, down to the Oreo-shaped clips in her hair and an Oreo-shaped bookbag. Marmota immediately came up with a horribly politically incorrect but amusing idea... buy a black Barbie and put her into the Oreo outfit.... eeeewwwww!
We couldn't quite bring ourselves to do it, but if anyone local to that CVS wants to, there were (as of this afternoon) two Oreo Barbies still for sale. They are in the middle row, left side, about halfway back on a lower shelf.
BTW, I know a lot of people out there think marmota is a grouch, and well, a lot of the time he is, but underneath it all there is a very funny guy trying to claw his way out..
