So.....I clustered this all up.

Ignore the links in the other discussion. Tried to find a way to remove my reply to myself but no can do.

Here are the links to my alternative therapy (photography)

It has kept me sane the past couple of days. My keyboard is being silly so it is taking me forever to type.

On the other thread, I called the doll a manniquin. Dopey. Like I said, I didn't have a good night's sleep, so there are cobwebs in my brain.

It's still my fave, the doll with butterflies.

Thanks, again.

I love your stuff, except the babydoll heads, which I don't understand. Thank you so much for sharing your work.

Thank you for the positive responses. Many people don't like or understand the baby doll heads. I have been called a freak more than once because of shots like those.

The dolls are me. If I was more comfortable in front of a camera I would have bunches of weird selfies.

The one with butterflies/moths/flies coming out of her head represent the chaos that's in my head leaving.

The 2 vases represent how I feel of 2 minds at times.

The collection of mostly doll heads and a Barbie is a bit more complicated. Barbie is me but I have no face. I exist in the big clunky broken doll. I am offering her a face. The other dolls sit in judgment.

Ricco...my boy cat....is just a cat :-)

Zoe (the white girl cat) is wearing a scarf I picked up months ago and it represents my long buried girly side.

I feel a lot from your Zoe pictures. She is beautiful in a unique way and your photos with her have a dreamy, almost underwater quality. Doesn't she look like you?

Thank you Donna :-) I guess Zoe and I share some qualities. We are both white and fluffy and at times, cranky :-)

The doll head in the nest with eggs? Brilliant!!

I love your perspective on many of these pictures. Great!

    Upon his departure, he remarked, "I am in many people’s pockets; no one will believe you." Have you ever grappled with the silence that follows sexual assault, where the perceived impossibility of being believed necessitates self-censorship?
