Yesterday, we mistakenly received “Woman’s Day” in the mail at my office. I was just glancing through it when I discovered this ad for a collectible doll: “God Bless You, Little Grace.” It has to be one of the creepiest things I have ever seen. The creator of this doll is probably in cahoots with Anne Geddes.
Who would buy this? Why? It is $130?
I wish you could see the glossy magazine ad I have in my hand. It is much more lifelike and creepy than the webpage is. Wow. I am stunned and upset.

Marcy, that is one of the most horrible webpages I have see. I am thoroughly creeped out. I never want a little Grace like that.
A little weird, I am not sure what I even could say about that doll.
Eewww
It looks moist and/or sticky.
I had one of those real life dolls when I was little. Not quite as creepily accurate as little Grace, but little Samantha held her own. For some inexplicable reason, she smelled like roses and so I concluded that all babies must smell that way. It was quite the unpleasant when I realized how wrong I was.
Now I will have to rethink girl names completely. Not only is Hazel ruined for me by Julia Roberts, but now Grace is ruined for me by this doll. I think I will just have to name my first girl Marcy.
Because it is called "God Bless You, Little Grace," I thought this was supposed to be a dead baby. I guess I was wrong. But for a few seconds I thougt it was even weirder than it really is. Vaya con Dios, little Grace.
that baby looks like a cling-on...pardon my spelling. Could it's eyes be farther apart? I say no.
I don't know what I was expecting, but when the picture came up I actually said "Dyaaaah!" out loud. God bless me for having seen it...it's like pornography, I will never forget little Grace...
What bothered me about this ad:
-"Presenting the most lifelike preemie doll ever!"
-"Brisk demand is expected for this realistic, lifelike preemie baby doll." (brisk demand?)
-The closeup insert of the "tiny ankle" and foot. Baaaah. (That's the noise you make while shuddering.)
