“The Doll Next Door”

Some time ago, our friend Ludovica told us that she had won the “Raise Your Zine” competition organized by “The Docks”.

As a loyal reader of my blog, you certainly remember that Ludovica, a photographer from Italy, visited us last year when we were on holiday in East Frisia.

From the numerous photos from her visits to several dolls throughout Europe, she got to make a compilation for a “zine”.

Earlier today, the postwoman rang our doorbell and had a registered letter from Italy for us.

🎼 Baby, life’s what you make it, celebrate it, anticipate it… 🎵

Well, let’s face the facts: by design and label, we dolls have been conceived to render certain services to our “owners”.

Some of us are lucky, others not so much.
