I love it when I’m right, but….

I was having a conversation with a girlfriend the other day and the topic turned to dolls we had as children.

She loved them, I hated them …. still do as a matter of fact.

I’ve always found dolls creepy and never wanted any as a kid. But being a girl growing up in the 70’s, the gift of dolls was inevitable.

I told my friend I remembered one doll in particular I received for my birthday named Crissy. She was large and had hair that would “grow”… which in actuality meant she had a hole in her head and you pulled her pony tail to extend the length.

(Being a doll hater I immediately pulled… and chopped off her hair with a sharp pair of scissors. Good times.)

My girlfriend, being of the same vintage… didn’t remember this doll and argued over her existence.

Challenge!

I had to prove I was right and did a bit of research.

Score!

She did exist.

But holy hell…

The photos!

Mother of God, that thing is possessed.

Yes, I was proved right.

But now I’m going to have nightmares about an army of dead eyed demon dolls with bald heads.

Be careful what you wish for.

  2. I remember that doll…Not that I had one. My mother, a doll lover, soon learned that her un-natural daughter didn’t like dolls. I’ve written about my relationship with dolls. What I find interesting about the ads you’ve used is that the dolls are predominately dark haired and dark eyed – an interesting change from all the blonde haired-blue-eyed dolls. The fact that the eyes are large and dark with little white around them does give them an unworldly appearance.

  3. I had 2 or 3 generic Barbies but what I recall the most was a hard plastic doll that came with a plastic spoon of ‘spinach’. When you tried to feed her, she’d turn away (opposing magnets).

  4. I remember the doll “Baby Alive.” You could feed her and she’d poop, I also had a Raggedy Ann doll and she was made special for me as a kid. For some reason, she got lost and then when the Annabelle movies came out, and the real possessed doll was revealed to be a Raggedy Ann doll I was glad and relieved she got lost, lol. I didn’t consider Barbie to be a “doll” doll, she was more of a girls imagination of what women would be like as adults. She had a boyfriend named Ken, a house with an elevator in it (I had that one) a pink corvette and a sister named Skipper. Well Barbie’s life never mentioned mortgage or car payments or how your house elevator needs constant maintenance, Barbie is a sham I tell you!

  5. Saw that “Sears Wishbook” heading…for sure a lot of trees had to be felled to make all those Christmas catalogs that used to fill up mailboxes each year years ago. Hollywood has “documented” a long history of possessed dolls…can’t be trusted 100%. Except for Barbie. In Barbie We Trust (lol)!

  6. I was in a magazine or newspaper advertisement for Baby Tenderlove. Then my parents got me one. I still have her packed away somewhere with my other dolls. I collect them. But most are Madame Alexander Dolls from books like the Little Women series, etc..

  10. I don’t think I had a Crissy, but she seems vaguely familiar.
    I did like dolls and I still have my favorite one, Cindy. She’s not in great shape, but I don’t find her creepy in the least. But, I’m guessing you would. 🤣
