The Island of Dolls

In Mexico there is a tourist attraction so dark, so terrifying, so disturbing that it is theorized* that grown women would weep and grown men would want their Mommies. It is “La Isla de la Munecas” or the Island of Dolls. The artist who lives there has evolved yard art to a whole new level. A level that not only scares the hell out of me (I have this doll fear thing) but whose purpose is to appease the ghost of a drown girl.

Oh, this should make her happy

 Maybe a cluster of hanging babies... that should do the trick

One can assume the ghost girl is not appeased

I hope I can sleep tonight.

*Theory based on my own personal assumptions and well ...look at them

  2. My younger daughter, a VP at a Fortune 100 company will cry and scream and hide in a closet when she opens the email.

  4. Where have you been all my life!? I have just spent the last half hour on your amazing blog. Thanks for dropping by and introducing yourself to me.I have featured my yard in older posts.
    I live by the premise that one cannot have too much yard art, and I SO enjoy others'- especially the outrageous and the neglected!
    I am your newest follower. In the words of our governator, "I'll be back."

  7. Hey Lynn and Tamara welcome to our little group. Thank you for stopping by.

    As far as the dolls, I just wanted to share my discovery with the world. I worry for the ghost girl.

    I have learned two things from the Ghost Whisperer: always show your cleavage and ghost need help not dead hanging babies.

  9. I feel exactly the same way about dolls.
    There's a blog I love to visit that's great overall, but the writer MAKES NIGHTLIGHTS OUT OF BROKEN DOLL HEADS WITH THEIR EYES HOLLOWED OUT. Give me spiders and snakes any damn day.

  17. Denine, I think you are either a doll person or you are not. You and I fall in the ARE NOT category.
