in the family christian bookstore in our town, these did not move units. i won an elsie doll from my church when i was 8 for knowing the most bible trivia and that was probably the one of the only dolls they ever sold. they’re terrible play dolls – they’re a weirdly big size so you can’t use clothes from other doll companies (like american girl) and elsie’s hair will immediately get a halo of frizz, despite being completely stiff and impossible to brush. i lost interest almost immediately and went back to my american girl dolls, which at least pretend at not whitewashing history too hard and being fun to play with
Yup, this thing already has Doc Brown hair.
Seeing the shipping box was like a horror movie jumpscare.
Dennard, no! It’s in your house! Run!
So dead-eyed Christian dolls… excuse me: RACIST dead-eyed Christian dolls are considered Learning Day material?
Exactly what am I supposed to learn from them? The worst possible way to die? A reason to stop fearing Hell?
it doesn’t matter how prestigious your stables are, when your heart is full of empty wealth, that’s when the dolls get you.
Well, good news, my library doesn’t carry these books. Bad news, a bunch of them are available in Search Ohio (public libraries) and OhioLINK (university libraries). With the latter, some are at least in special collections. So they’re in there to make their old book collection loon bigger. Public libraries though…Cincinnati has some that are “non requestable.” That’s typically like, a book club book collection, or reference, or some shit. What the fuck Cincinnati? You’re supposed to be one of the less fucked cities in this state.
