Heart4Heart Dolls Lauryce From New Orleans, LA A Little Creole Girl who survived Hurricane Katrina |
This morning marks a significant day for me as a professional doll collector. I think I just acquired the most unique doll in my collection. I noticed the dolls about a month ago while researching voodoo dolls on Ebay. Since learning I am a descendant from the Benin and Togo area of Africa I have been researching about their religion and trying to understand it more. I have also learned that my line of work has exposed me to homes where families may openly practice Voodoo or Santeria.. Much to my surprise, I came across this very creepy yet, familiar looking doll set. At first I could not put my finger on it but, after reading the caption .. I quickly remember this 90s Horror flick that eventually became a Urban Hit and today.. considered a horror classic.. produced by non other than Spike Lee the 90s horror flick TALES FROM THE HOOD... WAS A CREEPY RENDITION OF TALES FROM THE CREEP.. And Me, Yes Me, I have just acquired this aw...
I hope you are able to add Wilma to your doll family soon. I have two, but cannot part with one; she is that special to me.
ReplyDeleteI need to purchase at least one Doc McStuffins doll for myself and one for my niece since the character's mom has now been named for a real local doctor, Dr. Myiesha Taylor as reported in the January 8th online article of Jet and elsewhere. http://www.jetmag.com/life/disneys-doc-mcstuffins-honors-dr-myiesha-taylor/
