My sister was given a doll once not dissimilar from these ones. She was terrified of her. I always liked to lay the doll down and then set her upright again, just watching her close and open her eyes. She had overtly large green eyes and long luscious lashes that would flutter with every movement. As much as the blinking mechanism frightened my sister, I was fascinated by it. They were the only moving parts of the doll. So, I always wondered, why specifically the eyes?

Loves. My grandma kept a lot of her children’s toys, and I played with them when I was much younger. There was at least one with eyes like these, and I’d be amused rocking it back and forth for ages. Which I think speaks more to my interest in figuring out how things work, versus wanting to play with babydolls, because I’m not the typical girly-girl.
