Real or Really Creepy No. 1

Sure, two people emailed me and told me I had better not ever post another creepy doll photo again. Did you really think I would listen? My adventures in OCDland are well documented and, frankly, this whole reborn doll thing is pretty darn entertaining from where I'm sitting. After spending HOURS staring at creepy doll images, I think I've finally figured out how to tell the difference between creeptastic and cute. Can you?


I actually think this one is pretty darn easy. If we do this again, I can't promise I'll be quite so nice.

Guess away. I'll post the answer in comments in a day or two or five. Oh, and Holly, don't help anybody cheat, mmkay?

STOP THE DOLL MADNESS!
If you MUST post pics put some up of hot sweaty men. I prefer Matthew McConaghey. Kay?

I also vote for Matthew, please. Gosh, how many posts have I missed?! Sorry about that. You and your doll thing - you obviously have way too much time on your hands, so I'll be giving you MY list - get to work, missy!

Scary dolls. Eeek! Obviously that ghost crab really got to you. lol I hate those dolls like that, but I'm also weirdly fascinated by them.

you miss me? Just think, if I had Twitter you could be receiving a play-by-play of the trip!

I can't vote. I just don't want to know!!! But I kind of do... but I don't want to think about it. I just want you to tell me, cause either of those as a doll is creepy.

Why must you torment me???

I'm pretty sure Chucky is going to be visiting my dreams again tonight. LOL

I'm starting to think that ALL the babies I'm seeing online are dolls. It's a whole internet conspiracy to make me THINK these precious babies that I'm seeing photos of are real but they are really dolls (all of them!!) created by evil dollmakers who are out to take over the world! What was the question again?

April 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSherE1

Okay I'm way behind on blog reading and wanted to stop by and say hello. And seriously the dolls are creepy! But I don't like dolls at ALL! How does that work with four daughters?

April 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAmy

Okay so one looks ALIVE, and one looks DEAD.

I'm closing my eyes now. Evil dead baby is freaking me out.

April 18, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterjust jamie

eeny meeny miney mo, they both look real and they both look like dolls. It is kind of scary that I can't tell the difference between a living being and a plastic doll.

April 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKim

Ok,I think the 1st one is real. And something is wrong with me for looking at them as long as I did.

April 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterBren

I am just going to cry.

April 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterDapoppins

well, I'm just glad that you didn't post that creepy other doll again...that one was giving me chills and goosebumps!

April 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterPam

There was no option for "They are both real babies."

;-)~

I voted, but I'm warning you...I'm going to stop reading you when you pop up in my reader if you don't stop with all this doll nonsense. Ok, I don't really mean that...I was actually just relieved that you didn't post that other one that haunts me as I try to sleep at night! :>

I'm glad I didn't have to publicly give my answer. It looks quite obvious, but I'm the total dork that always makes the obvious blunder.

Is that a tongue on the bottom picture or a deformed lip? And who dresses such a little baby like that anyway? I totally want to pinch the cheeks of the little one on top.

April 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKaren

Alexis is really just a doll, isn't she? She IS! I knew it!

April 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterFlea

OK Dr. Frankenbaby, please make the lambs stop screaming!


i like matthew

April 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSusie

I think you've stumbled upon a month's worth of blog posts!

Personally, I was glad to view the original creepy-doll photo while at work. Good thing our company hasn't upgraded our monitors in years or else I would have seen it in high res. Yikes.

April 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSusan at One-Woman Show

I had to come and see the dolls. I feel downright sane with my legos now! :)

April 18, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterdlyn

Poll didn't let me choose which one was "creepy".
And why is the second one in a carseat in a crib? weird!

April 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterColleen

never! ;)

April 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterHolly

And the answer is:

The first one? Is a real kid. Or at least, that what's iStockPhoto says.

The second one is an uber creepy doll that sold for $787 on eBay a few nights ago. Reread that amount. Uh huh. The doll crazies aren't just crazy, they've got moolah. There are lots of photos worthy of gawking at on the http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120243700910&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002" REL="nofollow"> listing on eBay.

If the bottom one isn't the doll I think I might barf. Unless of course, that's your nephew. In which case...his hat is so cute!!

April 21, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterCecily R

ACK - CREEPY!!

April 21, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAutumn

I would have gone with the first one being real. Or at least a not so creep doll if that had been the case. :P Besides, who puts a "newborn" in a hat like that. I don't even want to talk about how much that doll cost.

April 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterImpostorMom

NO MORE! PLEASE!! AACK!
