You know, given that the rest of the procedures were practiced on dolls, wouldn’t it have been better to run a power drill into the crotch of a doll?

That’s exactly the right vintage, but not the same doll. Which means that there was more than one anatomically correct and working baby boy doll being produced back then!

When I was young I had a doll that when you pumped her arm, her face changed expressions. If you pumped the arm hard and fast enough, she would make this horrible demon grimace that would scare the peanut butter and jelly outta me. I remember doing it just to scare myself.

Nobody but me remembers that doll.

Hi, **Eonwe**!

Always a pleasure to see another Vermonter on the SDMB.

I stumbled across Beth’s website and found her work mesmerizing (dolls have always creeped me out for some reason).

Also, funny video there, \*\*Derleth \*\*- _“…it’s got a ruined eye…”_ - hehe…

[Here’s one.](http://i.imgur.com/VtSBj.jpg) I mean, assuming that’s a doll and not something else. Like a demon.

Thought of this thread this weekend, when I was shopping at Goodwill for my Halloween costume. There was a lady jammed between the clothes racks with me, with her cart piled up super high around one of those shopping-cart baby carriers, like you have so your precious snowflake doesn’t get store germs on his little baby hands. When I squeezed past her, I saw that she had two little babies crammed in there. Before my childfree mind could register the “I don’t think that’s safe …” I noticed that they were twin reborns!! EEEEEEEEE!

Are you sure it was a doll and not a younger cousin?
