Margaret

Poor Margaret.

She is the doll I bought at the thrift store for 5 bucks to model my "Weldon's" doll projects.  She's a real scrap noodle.  No one would mistake Margaret for a classy doll like an American Girl.  She's strictly down-market.

Katie and I thought she needed a name (or a better name than "the scrapnoodle doll I bought at Value Village") and Katie came up with Margaret.  We agree this is the perfect name for my little ragamuffin.

Poor Margaret had to get her legs broken in order to model for me.  I didn't realize she was a "sitting" doll, which doesn't work for me.  So now Margaret has a bit of a handicap as well as being ratty.

But I love my raggedy grandchild Margaret.  She suits my style perfectly.

Margaret apparently is also missing a tooth... I'm thinking she needs the ghetto silver filling like the poor kids get.

Love her.

haha she's totes a poor kid. Her mom is practically on welfare.

she is cute - maybe you can make her a walker out of coat hangers and elmer's and glitter .. . . and not a silver filling - give the girl a grillz of cubic zirconium!

Zaide, I think we have your next Wednesday's craft project: doll walkers!

I totally noticed her open mouth and thought she looked like a creepy sex doll. Apparently I should go to sleep now.

Laurie said...

oh poor Margaret, now she's a sex worker.

Poor Maggie...She's lived a hard life. It's gets tiring turning tricks for a living.
