The Secret Life of Dolls

Page history last edited by Cleolinda 13 years, 3 months ago

If you've been reading my journal a while, you may have noticed that I have, uh, a rich inner life. That's a flattering way to phrase it. And I have a number of movie-related dolls on The Shelf across the room from my desk. And they have dramas all their own.

 

(You can read straight through the saga from beginning to end here.)

 


 

 

How to explain Secret Life

 

... to someone who thinks you and/or I are crazy:

 

1) "It's this girl who usually writes about movies and books and stuff but she also likes dolls, who are generally movie-related, and she wrote about the dolls a couple of times in passing as if they were real, and then one day she started writing about them picking out other dolls because she thought it was funny, and then it developed into a multi-fandom soap opera that she writes for fun, and some of the dolls are in love with each other and some of the others want to kill each other and one of them has a My Little Pony ranch. He's a sparklepire!"

 

2) "It's this girl and she's out of her mind, basically."

 

 

 

The players
