polly
living the life that i can’t leave behind
so this is a really amazing sad doll that correspondent S sent in from Santa Fe.

this just in from aa, writing from the east coast this summer.
and from d. not even sure where this was made. but it is grand.
plus, i heard about this movie, air doll, from 2009 by reading this article. here is a still from the movie that i stole from that blog post.
now you see that this is true sad doll territory.
all i’ve got is time for myself so
well yeah.
that is a SAD DOLL!
reading the Phoebe Gloeckner piece in the June 2010 issue of the Believer. in it she discusses why she chose to use dolls as models to draw the illustrations for her most recent book. and i totally get her point.
p.47
“Anyway, I always read photo-novellas, because you can learn a language that way, colloquially. You see what’s going on because you see the pictures. I thought, Well, I could just make one with dolls. It’d be really quick, and then it wouldn’t have to be in my head so long, and the dolls could be all bloody and die, and I don’t care, because then I could just wash them off, and they won’t be really dead. As if they would be alive. They wouldn’t be alive because they are dolls, but it doesn’t matter. I was just trying to make it easier, so then I started experimenting with dolls”.
later she discusses the future of e-books. she wants to be able to turn a physical page. there she lost me. i am not about replicating physical experiences digitally. but maybe that is just personal preference.
i scraped up my face bounced my cheek on the floor
here is some diagraming for you. i saw this in this book at some used bookstore. most rad. so you get it, right? you can make the doll CRY.
just in case you have never heard the song that this line is from you can watch it here. PLUS LEGOS.
don’t forget to follow your way down
where have YOU been?
my face is cracked.
it is summer even though it is cold. i have a weird tan from just below my knees to the bottoms of my shorts. volcano cake. strawberry shortcake. olympia. weight lifting. abrasions. dead moles. cooking. cooking. COOKING.
or the molten, emotional front line/ i couldn’t care less i’m transfixed in this absolute bliss
out and about. saw this:
SAD DOLLS!
and this:
i hope i never figure out who broke your heart
dear facebook,
i know you are getting a lot of negative attention right now, no, don’t worry, i won’t lecture you about privacy or anything like that. i am actually going to acknowledge your epic social mass of near yeti proportions. i know, I KNOW, i didn’t think i’d ever write that either! but i just did.
so, since i am late in acknowledging that, i am sure you’ve been aware of it for much longer.
this brings me to my point. just a tip, when you are attempting to manipulate linguistic meaning and push semantics to new levels, DON’T use “quotes” or you will seem foolish and like you aren’t even sure your innovation will take. this is not the attitude of a winner. don’t you have faith that you will come out on top?
xoxo,

hail to thee land of promise the end of our system
saw this on ebay. do i spend my days trolling ebay for sad dolls? nah. would’t you have seen a lot more of them by this point?
so i like that this doll is so versatile. glad OR sad. this seller’s name? jewish wife? JJW’s wife? either way i am glad that neither of those are remotely close to how i identify.
let’s see what the final price ends up being.
