I think I have a sock doll fetish.  There is something fascinating about toys made of socks.  Hopefully clean socks.  I find these sock monkeys from Siansburys different from what you would normally envision (brown with red cho-cho lips).  What?  You don’t know what I mean?  If you are from Hawaii you know what I am saying.  If you aren’t, click on cho-cho lips and you will find the Pidgin-English definition.  What was I saying again?  Ah, yes.  Sainsbury Super Special Sock Monkey are handmade in the UK and they all have different personalities, colors and textures.  I just want to hug them and squeeze them and call them George.  Yes, I have a room full of George dolls.

No, it’s not Halloween yet but you can still get these creepy, scary, nightmarish dolls any time of year.  At New Age Dolls, you can buy an assortment of dolls, keychains and pendants.  These dolls are so unusual that I had to stare at each one for several minutes even though they freaked me out a little.  If you know a little girl wanting a doll I don’t believe these are the dolls you should consider but if you are into the darker side of artistic expression, this is definitely for you.
