Death of a Doll

Chris reports: "When I first walked past, the doll was laying face down, as in the first photo. What may not be clear is that the doll is headless. When I walked past later, the doll had been moved onto its back, and the new perspective revealed the bondage angle of the doll's hands tied together. One can only imagine the events that led to this poor doll's demise."

Julian sez: "I found this headless teddy bear behind a vacant shopping plaza. I was looking for (and finding) stray shopping carts." [Check out Julian's lost-shopping-cart project; link is on blog roll to the right.]

This holiday dude is free to a good home. And he comes with a box of clothes, including a hat that he'll never wear again. He's also missing feet. Is there no room in your heart for this plucky guy, still standing?
