Doll Daze No. 3: The Horror

WHEN: November 2008
WHERE: Moorpark, Calif.
PHOTO: Dan in Calif.
Here's the backstory: Dan was helping a couple of older women clean out their houses so some painting could be done. The houses were stuffed to the brim with collector dolls off Home Shopping Network. Think boxes where they had made pathways to get from one side to the other. It was in such a mess, the cats had puked and pissed on the dolls, and there was rat droppings and whatnot. Needless to say, the collector status of the dolls was highly in question considering their condition. Pictured above: a survivor.
