Creepy Etsy Heads Part I: Dolls
Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 10:18AM
I honestly don't know where these posts came from. I went onto Etsy and did a search for "heads" thinking I'd find some cool mid-century pottery or a great bust I could use in the home. Instead, I found a mountain of headscarves and all kinds of creepy things that may not have bad intentions, but which are indeed a little disturbing.
Part I: Dolls
The first category of creepdom is dolls. I never much cared for dolls. Vintage dolls are even scarier - I just think some possessed spirit is trapped inside of them, waiting to get out. Apparently dolls are a popular thing though, with porcelain doll heads in particular being in high demand. Let's remember that these are meant to be given to children...

Buffy & Freckles dare you to squeeze them tight...just try it.
Some of the Doll Hospital's worst cases: knife fight victims and early-onset leprosy.

I'm sorry honey, I had to suffocate your Cabbage Patch doll. That's what you get for playing with Mommy's dry cleaning!
Once a fine lady, Big Red was led astry by a Wrong Guy and got caught in a den of iniquity. Now she dreams of a life beyond the bright lights and green walls of the institution.
This doll is just waiting to devour your flesh as soon as the light goes off.

Little Susie decided enough was enough. Dolly was a bitch who always got her way. Well, she'd show her...
