All I Want for Christmas Is...

Posted by on Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 1:32 PM

Every single one of these handmade doll versions of famous female authors! Click it click it click it! Seriously, y'all. I cannot believe Phillis Wheatley. Or Sylvia Plath (pictured at the above link, not on the site anymore). The Hairpin's already having fun with Judy Blume. Omigod! I keep clicking on more of them! The Etsy shop, Uneek Doll Designs (I am ignoring that spelling with all my might), is getting all this blog press for the author dolls, but LOOK! Carmen Miranda. My productivity for today may be ruined, but your Christmas is set. Don't even look elsewhere. You're welcome.

H/t to the entire lady-internet.

I never understand how baby boomers can still complain about communists, and shop at walmart with no sense of irony.

Sigh...no Elizabeth Taylor. Oh, she's got the actress, but I want the novelist. No respect. Dang, no Muriel Spark either.

Whelp, she's had over 1400 sales... Mayhaps the Muriel, Anais and Ursula dolls have sold already?

@2 I believe Mike Lovett thought of this first.

@3, meanie, the arithmetically-challenged dood,

The "baby boomers" are the ones who ended the draft and protested the war, douchebagger (1946-1964 = baby boom period); it was the douchebaggers prior and afterwards, who complained about the commies, and have since offshored all the jobs to the commies.

Would you please do your proper reading and arithmetic at some point in your miserably ignorant existence?

You remind me of all those idiotic male and female twits who are forever approaching people around town, on behalf of Wall Street-owned NGOs and money laundering operations.

When a so-called college grad, age 28, moronic male approaches one on behalf of Wall Street's latest shadow banking extension, cap-and-trade (a year or so ago, via the co-opted League of Conservation Voters), and during the discussion exhibits his complete ignorance of both the American economy and American history, and has no idea what the SEC is (as in everytime they lay off those exorbitantly paid types there, the porn viewing history takes a major hit), we are talking extreme Dark Ager, dood!

Thanks for this link! I just ordered a B.F. Skinner for my sister the behaviorist, and the artist is making and sending it in time for Christmas. Hurrah!
