I’ve been thinking about your dolls for ages. It was when you said one of your dolls looked more masculine than feminine and you wondered if girls would like that. My mum’s favorite doll when she was a child was a boy doll, with short blonde hair and blue eyes. She named him Heinzi. She tried to get me to play with him, but dolls always icked me (I found them creepy) and I didn’t like playing in the spider-infested shed that was designated the “playroom”. I liked soft toy animals, like teddy bears, so I might have liked soft, sewn dolls. Just a weird thought that has been percolating since you described the boy doll you made.
