By morning, we shall inherit the earth,
Our foot's in the door.
Sylvia Plath, "Mushrooms."
Dolls, and allusions to dolls, described as The Doll Motif by Lea Baten, are everywhere. Tonight, I caught the end of an original Star Trek episode that dealt with androids. Later, in The Next Generation Series, Data, an android, is one of the main characters.

Then, my husband turned on The Ghost Army on PBS; that was the camouflage unit that created real life "fake" battle and decoys to foil and confuse the enemy. Among the artists, sculptors, designers and architects that made up this unit was Bill Blass. Robert Tonner, who makes his own dolls and also owns Effanbee, once worked for Bill Blass.

One of the goals of the doll museum I am planning is to make people "doll aware." Dolls are a teaching tool that enrich people's lives, and they are accessible to everyone.
We are starting a Kickstarter campaign for a new display case; look for it soon. There will be goody bags for donors and other prizes, too. Spread the word. 😸😇😇😇✋❤👱👰😻
