Certain people who are sensitive to such things can see that toys and dolls have little souls in them. They may be born from a cold mechanical assembly line and made from plastic but each doll is bequeathed a life essence special to them. Gina Garan is one who can see the souls of dolls and she beautifully captures them on film. [mark ryden]
this book fresh off the press – it’s a delight, needless to say – can she do for “susie sad eyes” what she did for blythe? – never underestimate the irrepressible gina garan! – hope i’m not giving away a big secret but there is already a possibility of new susie dolls hitting the shelves! – yay! – tho part of the charm of these dolls (for me) is the junkie-esque green shadows under their eyes (from defective old plastic) – i collected around a dozen and stopped after getting a relatively pristine condition one (pic at bottom) and prices were starting to jump up – don’t have a black one (“soul sister”), sulk! – these tended to all have terrible bird’s nest hair and badly chewed fingers – i see there’s one on ebay right now however, apparently unabused in her (crumpled) box, for a cool $300, eek! – so a newly manufactured soul sister would make me very happy

I hope this book does well, seems Gina can really use it. Last I heard she was suffering some heavy turmoil.
I have both blythe books. I have to check out amazon.com for this one . I like Suzie Sad Eyes. She reminds me of Morticia (the boxed one).
