IT’S ANOTHER ME – MY SCARY BROWN DOLL

By Claire Worthington

My brown doll

One of my most treasured possessions is a baby doll. By modern standards she's not the prettiest of dolls, but she means a lot to me because I've had her since I was very small. My doll is made of hard, dark brown plastic, her straight hair is molded into her mainly bald head and for some reason her eyes are orange and they close noisily when you lie her on her back.

IN DISGUISE

By Claire Worthington Leave a Comment

For the next few days the site is going to look a little bit different. I built this site on WordPress and there have been a couple of updates which mean that the theme which controls how this website looks has changed - and not in a good way. It's the digital equivalent of dying your hair blonde and having it turn green! So until I finish rebuilding it, I'm going to have to go with something safe and plainish.
