Mesmerizing 'Living Dolls' Doc Follows People Obsessed With Dolls
Latest
I can remember being 13 years old, sitting on the floor of my living room, acting out a scene with two Barbies and a couple of Strawberry Shortcake dolls. (They were all friends!) It was right at a time when the other girls in my class were starting to talk about boys and sex, and wearing high-heels and frosted lip gloss. I distinctly remember sitting on that floor, and realizing that this was the last time I would ever ‘play’ with these dolls. Even at that young age, I was painfully aware, I would never be able to escape into the beautiful dream world that my little box of dolls offered me.
But for some, dolls and the powerful fantasy world they represent don’t have to be boxed up and put away after childhood.
