Nude
I was sitting at the computer wondering how to handle this with some dignity when I glanced up at the open closet and saw this:
The clouds parted and the angels sang. "Hallelujah - there's some naked babies!" I'm not sure of the song that they put those words to, but the music was quite lovely.
As a parent of a girl, I can testify to the fact that toy companies waste an inordinate amount of time designing clothes for their dolls. Little girls undress their dolls and then being ill-equipped to put the tiny clothing back on, play with the naked dolls. Forget vacuuming up a barbie shoe and then having to sort through a bag of dust to recover it, girls don't care. They like their dolls nude.
Now, my child, Her Royal Cuteness, is far too old to still play with her dolls. Nonetheless, they are all naked not to mention tossed in an orgy-like pile on the shelf. Truth be told, they came back from the "recovery" company cleaned, undressed and still a bit damp, so they were airing out in one of our rooms. They were piled on the closet shelf when furniture came for the room and there they stayed. Maybe I'll get some clothes and fix them up one day. It'll make the closet look a lot less like a meat freezer from some horror movie.
Let's see who really got nude for you! Or not, your choice...
Very creative take.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how folks were going to approach this without...well, you know...well, I know I didn't want to post that. :) Oh, and you didn't want me to post THAT either.
I don't know. With this crowd and the response to toothbrush, we probably ALL should have posted THAT.
DeleteHah, your horror movie meat freezer/orgy works perfectly for the theme. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I look up at this all of the time and think about how awful it looks. I really need to close the closet door.
DeleteI wonder just what they get up to in that closet when you're not looking?
ReplyDeleteMmmmm...there is ONE boy doll in the mix.
DeleteNude dolls freak me out!!
ReplyDeleteYou get used to it.
DeleteHa! I think I would have been quite startled to open the closet and see that, especially if I had forgotten they were in there. Great take on the theme!
ReplyDelete;-)
That's the thing. I don't know what's in any closet anymore.
Deletethose naked babies! aren't you glad they're not anatomically correct?
ReplyDeleteThat is about the ONLY type of baby doll that she never owned. We even had one that we called "baby poops alot." It actually turned it's fake diapers brownish.
Deleteew! makes me glad mine never liked dolls.
DeleteThat scared the crap out of me! Thanks for explaining what is (or what you hope isn't) going on in there. Your meat locker analogy is spot on.
ReplyDeleteI don't even like to look at horror movies. It just seems like that fits.
DeleteThis was genius~
ReplyDeleteThanks! genius??... I like the sound of that ...genius ... genius ... okay, if you say so.
DeleteBrilliant take on this! Doll orgies are fun!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking from experience, are we?
DeleteNice take on the theme and thank you for not showing their faces, because otherwise I'd have nightmares.:)
ReplyDeleteOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhh. The body parts need faces, hunh? Next challenge, Mike, next challenge...
DeleteAt first glance I thought this was a disturbing photo, but the more I looked at it, and maybe because of your explanation, the more i began to laugh.
ReplyDeleteHa! I never even thought about it being anything but a pile of dolls.
DeleteHa ha ha! Love it! I don't know if you are an antiquer or junker, but one of the crazes the last couple of years is old doll heads or dismembered arms and legs. Who would have ever imagined that? So if you ever want to make a little money, start dismembering. :) Love your take on the theme. Bet no one else does this!
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE antiques - love the sales and the look of old stuff. Don't think I'm gonna dismember any dolls though. I don't have the stomach for that.
DeleteWasn't this a scene from Silence of the Lambs, or the John Wayne Gacy movie?
ReplyDeleteCreepy.
Anyway, I like my dolls naked, too.
and inflatable?
DeleteHahahahahaha!
DeleteI hate dolls more than anything, the eyes and the pseudo-flesh upset me no end, and piles of dolls make me sick...
ReplyDeleteBut you've latched on to a truth there - dolls can be easily undressed but getting a flamin' sock on a doll is more difficult than picking a sequin off a marble slab.
That's so funny. My barbies and dolls were ALWAYS naked!
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite naked is baby feet. So soft and squishy. And they laugh when you kiss them.
(Full disclosure, I am NOT A WEIRDO, just a mom who loves babies.)
This kind of makes me happy I only had boys :-)
ReplyDeleteNice take on this one, LM!
Lol! I don't have kids but if I think back really hard to the far recesses of my own childhood I remember a few naked Barbies.
