Dead Elvis


Not all dolls are cute and plastic.

I was totally captivated the first time I saw a Day of the Dead doll. I think it must have been in the 1980s and back then they were pretty rare in this country. I saw an exhibition and thought they were wonderful, but thought they only sold them in Mexico and I'd never get to own one. Now I have a few of these small ones, and there's a shop in our city that sells a few. This one made me laugh. I love Elvis, I love Day of the Dead - perfect!
