Baby Blimp
When I was a child, Baby Blimp was one of my constant companions. Baby Blimp is a hard rubber doll made by the UNEEDA Doll Co., Inc., date stamped 1967. I don't remember our introduction. For me, Baby Blimp always was. She was alway there--pleasant, silent, and plump. Neither her eyes, hair, arms, or legs move. Her mint green and white smock does not quite cover her stout belly and never will. The smock and its buttons, like everything about her, are permanent molding of durable rubber. I never questioned her immobility, her pale plastic-like skin, her gold locks, or her painted on blue eyes. I carried her--because of her girth--by the indention between her head and her gut. She is so round. There were many various and sundry dolls in my arsenal--many with dazzling features like blinking eyes, silk hair, and a decent change of clothes, but Baby Blimp is the one who remains. Today she is a symbolic reminder of childhood innocence. #MacroMonday #When I was a child...
