I used to play with American Girl dolls growing up. I had Felicity. My friend Kirsten had all the accessories. We used to have more fun making up their life stories than actually playing out the scenario we made up. I’m not sure if I will ever buy my daughter an American Girl doll.

I love dolls. Especially the large creepy ones that you leave in the hallway. So whenever someone walks outside their room in the middle of the night, they can see the beauty of that large doll, staring at them as they walk by to get to the other end of the hall. :D

the room was littered with dolls, train tracks, kitchen utensils, crayons, and an array of animals. stuffed, that is.

dolls, lined up in a row, glassy-eyed
frozen in time, hair in fat curls
barely mussed from play
these dolls are inaction figures
these dolls sit
and stare
and dream
in the quiet nursery.
it's me!
It’s interesting how, when we grab hold of a doll and move it with our hands to make it ‘come alive’, we make it bounce to and fro on its feet to emulate a normal person’s gait. That waddle is hardly realistic, yet somehow it produces an impression of vivacity.

The whispy voiced rememberers sit silently on the backshelf. Pink lips turned cream from years of silence and stillness. A dust ash blonde sweeping mass of hair.

when i was little i loved porcelain dolls, the ones with hair like a real child’s hair. so creepy and their fingers would always break off! i always named mine samantha, or margarita, or rose.

dolls look like they are still but when you turn around they come alive. they are pretty and look perfect, only to be played with, soon to be forgotten. they are easily broken, easily lost…

tall or porecelain they are unreal just playthings with curly hair and glass eyes. frilly dresses and stockings. they stare. comforting or not we are unsure if they are our friends or if they are only there to creep us out. I always wondered what they do when we aren’t around.

on boy, dolls! I had many dolls in my childhood. A favorite one was Betsy Wetsy. Woohoo! Another was a doll that my sister and I received on Christmas. The doll was taller than my sister.

I never used to play with dolls as a child, though I am a girl. I tended to play with the boys and their hotwheels. We would make tracks and race them around the room from one high point up. to see whose could jump the farthest. Dolls, however were not in my arsenal of play-date items. Especially not Barbies.

She picked up the blonde one, then put it down again and sighed. She just couldn’t understand what the other girls saw in this. Why pretend to live someone else’s life, when you could go out and live your own.
“Hey Mike?” she shouted. “Race ya to the sandbox!”

In tight spaces dolls lay. Waiting to be played with day after day. They stare off at blank walls, itching for the chance to go down the hall and be with the girl who loves them most of all.

I saw a doll once in a store. They are pretty scary. They remind me of George’s mom’s dolls off of Seinfeld. Dolls seem to be a weird concept to a guy but I guess girls really enjoy them.

Dolls can be pretty scary. I’ve never liked those porcelain headed dolls with the rosy cheeks and the red lipstick and the thick eyelashes. They’re frightening, like the one they found on the floor of the titanic deep under the ocean. As if they weren’t freaky enough in the first place, given that context, they’re the worst.

Barbies. Scary. Dress up. Weddings. Marriage. Life. Children. Success. Business. Money. Happiness? Materialistic items. Education. School. Time commitment.

The mannequins sit lifelessly in the empty warehouse, their plastic faces expressionless. And then…BAM! They come alive, staggering over to her, grabbing her by the neck, squeezing all of the life out of her…’Goodbye,’ she whispers with her last breath.

there was some dolls sat all alone on the old shelf sat in the dark, never used. Abandoned after the children had all grown up.

I hate dolls, every since I was a little kid and I heard a horror story about this porcelain doll that a girl got for her birthday that killed her family. After that I threw out all my dolls and they still terrify me. I don’t know what it is about them but I think it has to do with the fact that they are pretend people.
Melissa
do dolls copy girls or do girls copy dolls? many would say the first option but, in this new day and age, with dolls such as Barbie, it could be said that dolls now serve as role models for little girls.

I never really like dolls when I was a kid. I guess they just kind of freaked me out. I thought that they were real, and felt like real people, they just couldn’t move or talk. So I guess I was overwhelmed with the responsibility of keeping them happy, when they couldn’t tell me how.

Today we read a story about a doll’s house. It was interesting and had a lot of symbols in it. It was about prejudice between different social classes and the effect adult prejudices and opinions have on children.

dolls are gross they feed a lot of things that dont’ matter ot the regular person accepton on sundays when they don’t really wnt anything to do with whoever they are they just wante to escape into a pool wher eit’s cold and damp and there’s not much to be afraid of in teh way of loud voices and trouble. Most of the time this is not the case. Most of the time it’s lard screams and hard feelings lurking b eing the door by teh laundry or in the kitch from dawn until dusk an ayunhappy restlessnes that doesn’t want to admit its there

I see faces in this trunk. They’ve been locked away under the bed for too long.
Porcelain eyes.
I wish I could see clearly once more. There is no return to what I’ve shattered.

nevermind what people tell you about little girls. a doll is more than plaything, it is idea. a miniturization and approximation of reality, it is little more than a larf but ends up something powerful. replicating? not quite

dolls are those cute little things that little girls play with when they are young. When i was a child i didnt have any dolls, i used to run outside and pick up sticks and mud and leaves and make my OWN dolls and they were always beautiful and skinny and perfect, no need for stupid effing barbies, lollll and they always died too, maybe i was a weird chick but i always killed off everything i made because thats how i rolled. And that is my life story on dolls.

Dolls are toys that girls often play with. There are many different types of dolls. Barbies are some of the more common dolls. You can buy lots of accessories to go with many dolls. Lots of children like dolls that look like baby’s when they are young. They like to pretend they are real and put them into little pushchairs, or highchairs and play make believe with them.
