Two Headed American Storytelling (Part I of II)
While browsing through eBay recently, I was astounded to see one doll at the epicenter of a bidding frenzy that had risen beyond the $1500 dollar mark. As someone who used to shave, paint, and otherwise defile her own childhood dolls, I was somewhat mystified at the excitement surrounding this plaything. I sensed somehow that a doll was not just a doll, but carried some deeper significance. There was a lot of money riding on this, after all.
