The Decapitation of Dolly

2008.03.17



This tiny plastic doll, along with some others, was out for the children to play with last week in a tub of glittery water with sea shells. Somehow the heads kept coming off.......It was all highly suspicious as they require a fair bit of effort to remove, so someone must have been enjoying the decapitation process.
Notice the bathing suite the doll is wearing. It was hand made by yours truely. The only item of clothing I have ever managed to make..hehe

ncshutterbug What a cute post! I love the lighting in the first one.

dhulsmeyer hahaha. i miss the days of naked barbie and decapitated dolls.
dhulsmeyer · 2008-03-17: 07:28
ThomasChu In the old days, I got used to decapitalize my sister's barbie and made it naked. Thanks for recovering my memory.....Good concept!

mimax2 OMG!

coyoteself I don't know if I should say, "How tragic!" or "Too funny." ahh, I got it. It's Tragically funny. No matter, it's a great set!!

amberle The world is full of dangers, especially for a doll :) Great set :)
amberle · 2008-03-17: 08:24
tbranscum Poor dolly, keeps losing her head! But at least she does have clothes. I know that little girls always love to change clothes and end up losing part of them.
tbranscum · 2008-03-17: 08:31
dkelly i love this set !!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
dkelly · 2008-03-17: 09:05
shortyg Oh NO !!! Poor doll :( It's funny though :) Maybe you could design my next bathing suit :) :) :) Kisses

mystic1 Interesting shots but the poor dolly
mystic1 · 2008-03-17: 11:23
etodd80 Great shots, but...a bit disturbing! Some little kid was enjoying decapitation a bit too much! I like the comp. on #2. Nice work with the bathing suit :-)
etodd80 · 2008-03-17: 11:41
chrisfly Great photos, interesting theme..
chrisfly · 2008-03-17: 11:42
davids This seems quite macabre, especially #1 - good set
davids · 2008-03-17: 11:44
vollenda So disturbing! And quite funny. :) I can see she was quite frightened by the whole experience as her hair is standing on end!
vollenda · 2008-03-17: 11:52
Primavera Impressive!!Good work!
Primavera · 2008-03-17: 12:09

Emma · 2008-03-17: 12:34
abbeyh13 hey! that is a good swim suit....
slightly disturbing... but good clear crisp pics!! :)
abbeyh13 · 2008-03-17: 13:54
photopoet Love the bathing suit—the head looks as if she's contemplating finding another body.
photopoet · 2008-03-17: 14:42
PaperWings I like it! All are really nice. You are rocking it out with that new lens!!
PaperWings · 2008-03-17: 14:47

Amethyst I love the light and background in the first shot. Studio still life in black and white :D beautiful
Amethyst · 2008-03-17: 16:43
Nayah Poor doll....
Nayah · 2008-03-17: 16:56
Zedsdead well #1 appeals to me most, which is pretty disturbing in itself, I guess. ?:o)
Zedsdead · 2008-03-17: 17:10
oldbabe One of the things I had saved for my daughter was her box of Barbie dolls and clothes...some are just bodies...some are just heads...kind of a mix and match...thanks to her brothers. Oh, and the hair on some of the dolls was also cut! We were looking through it all a few months ago when I told her to take it to her own house. We had to laugh quite a bit going through that box.

This reminds me of that box and made me laugh even though it's kind of a weird behavior...guess kids the world over do it, though, huh? For a minute there I thought my kids were the only weird ones!

oldbabe · 2008-03-17: 17:31
mrutherford22 I really like your first photo. It could be used in a magazine for some out-there-advertising. Very cool composition.

Great story too!
mrutherford22 · 2008-03-17: 18:27
Anjie Hahaha great idea for a set of shots. #1 looks sooo good in B&W. You are so creative, I love it :-)
Anjie · 2008-03-17: 18:57
lexlevans superbly creepy!! i think my head would fall off too if it was twice the size of my body...

i love #1. just a head. awesome. love the B&W too and the strong light from the side. great post - i the originality of it :-)
lexlevans · 2008-03-17: 19:25
lexlevans that last sentence should read 'i love the originality of it' by the way...
lexlevans · 2008-03-17: 19:25
aurian Poor dolly! (P.S. - sounds like all of our little Lego people at work... they all 'mysteriously' end up decapitated!)
aurian · 2008-03-17: 19:42
ambersunsets Number 1 is really cool! Very creative subject!
ambersunsets · 2008-03-17: 20:00
bamommy LOL! Great bathing suit!
bamommy · 2008-03-17: 20:00
jwideman oh no!!! poor thing! this reminds me of this post I did this past summer!
jwideman · 2008-03-17: 20:28
Peche hehehe love it!!
That first one is killer ;)
You are rocking out with the new lens, it's really wonderful to see the results you're getting.
:)
Peche · 2008-03-17: 20:34
mojaroo fantastic macros
mojaroo · 2008-03-17: 21:12
BreezyOnTheEyes that last shot is so incredible lol. from the decapitation to the exisite designer swinsuit (quite the 50's inspiration), there is just nothing not to love!

in all photographic seriousness, you really have all the essentials that make up an excellent shot. the contrast is superb, the texture, the frame, the focus...i can't even say anything interesting of original because i'm so disturbed and delighted at the same time ~_^

it's going into my favorites. like all of your photos lol

i like the other two as well, but they are just a hair less fascinating than the last.

p.s. you better watch out for that little dicapitator! :-O
BreezyOnTheEyes · 2008-03-17: 21:44
pucaru I like #1 :-)
pucaru · 2008-03-18: 00:23
TamaraHarden I think the cats did it....I saw the look of mischeviousness in Wilbur's eyes.....I told you he had something up his sleeves.
TamaraHarden · 2008-03-18: 00:43
MHJphotos Wonderful macro set! Prior to even viewing your post, I had taken/posted some macro work of my own. These, however, are simply fantastic!

I also see a really cool light bulb shot staring my in the face on 2008.03.16 that I must go view now!
MHJphotos · 2008-03-18: 01:16
LotoFoto You are so creative!
Loved these shots.

Agodashi Great play with the light; you use flash with tansmiter and fixed focal lens?
Agodashi · 2008-03-18: 06:43
KerBear Kind of creepy - but you did a fantastic job! I love the first and the third...

I'm also impressed with the bathing suit! :) hahaha great job!
KerBear · 2008-03-18: 07:06

Madoc I never knew decapitation could be that beautiful.
I really, really love the last one.
Great idea, very well done.
Madoc · 2008-03-18: 17:41
picturemom Great shots! The first one cracked me up! maybe we should all be disturbed by our first reactions to laugh at just a head??.....:0) great job.
picturemom · 2008-03-18: 20:07
zabdorff Nice lighting and focus. Beautiful, even if it's more than a little creepy. :-)
zabdorff · 2008-03-18: 20:55
