Before anyone asks, no Mira is not my expecting babe.. ^_^
She's an altered Baby Face Doll that was sold in Toys R Us.
Natalie's origin:
2003
This strange doll clad only in a diaper was mysteriously placed on a shelf in a reuse store.
Taking pity on the doll with an expression of pure insane happiness I brought her home.
The poor thing wasn't allowed in side of the house once my Mother caught sight. She sat in a chilled van for weeks. Until I finally gave her to a buddy of my then boyfriend (now Hubby). There she sat on various motorcycles creeping out the buddy's girl. Still not allowed inside the house, she was forced to live in a shed.
Years go by.
2008
Things changed quickly. Both sets of us married, got new homes. New addictions (thank you sis for the Puppet Master addiction!) Buddy brings up the notion of his common-in-law wife trying to toss the doll out, twice.
She was retired to a cold porch guarding the entrance. Tired of the poor thing, and I'm willing to take her in. She comes back home.
A good scrubbing and conditioning later, she's shiny again. Adjusting of her eyebrows and removal of her butt tattoo. Natalie the Baby Face Doll is now officially Mira the Puppet.
The pink dress comes off of the last toy doll my grandmother ever bought me.
Why Mira?
Ever watched Tiny Toon Adventures? Elmira and her KITTY KITTY CUDDLY WUDDLY MISTER FLUFFY HEAD?..... We dropped the EL and stuck with Mira. (Also my origin of Kitty kitty kitty with wiggly fingers..... best not to ask) Her face, just screams of insanity like Elmira's does. And you got to admit neither one is OMG CUTE in normal dolly standards XD.
Mira the Puppet Master's Back-story.
During WW2 a strange man called the Puppet Master used a formula to create life in Marionettes. Stingless marionettes entertained children with comedy; Six Shooter, Pin Head, Tunneler and Jester were the first to be given life. With the death of his wife, Leech Woman was created, followed by Blade. Needing to flee Germany, the Puppet Master gathered this troupe and came to the USA.
(That's Canon)
(This is not)
Two living puppets, Mira and Con were left behind after the murder and the Puppet Masters fleeing. Feeling betrayed they sought out their beloved troupe, friends and master. Never being able to find them only where they had been. Missing the creation of Leech Woman and Blade, they tracked the Puppet Master from Germany to Sweden to the USA. Bitterness grew when they finally arrived at the Bodega Bay Inn only to find the Puppet Master dead and the Troupe MIA. Where they went from there is anyone’s guess. Packed up and sold with the rest of Toulon’s marionettes’? Stuffed in a box and stored up in the attic? Ran off to make formula? Who knows.... (okay I do but
Not telling yet, that’s what the fan fiction is for.) The pair reemerge decades later to find the troupe is once again awake and now the rage of revenge is about to take place!
Sadly Con isn’t constructed just yet. All the photos will be of Mira and the boys playing more or less Cat and Mouse in the ‘Bodega Bay Inn’.
To warn you theres about 200 photos to date of this theme and going. And very slowly they will be getting posted. Why slowly? I'm back on dail up.
