I guess this falls under the `doll` category.

that would not be a question with me yes I agree that would......and off topic how come if I changed my profile picture and it shows when I go to my preferances that I did when I look at my profile it is still my old one? Any clue?

Cute new profile pic. Really nice looking for 93 years old. I guess botox really does work?

funny you should mention botox because this week my lower left side of my lip blew up..I'm thinking it is probably due to the stress of three college kids who are driving their mother nuts and their parents broke with school starting at three different higher learning institutes......and I keep saying it is botax gone bad! =0)

and thank you for your assistance spiff.......so on the doll challenge what say you do in your opinion are stuff toys considered dolls?

My youngest just went off to college last week. So I guess I've only got 1/3 the stress that you do?

There's a fuzzy line in there someplace. Some stuffed toys. I would also interpret action figures as dolls, at least the larger, poseable kind. After all, the idea of G.I. Joe was started as a doll that boys could play with. Hmmmm. Ideas are starting to flow...

However, my entries current performance in the road less traveled is telling me that If I want a high score, I should take the narrow interpretation of the topic. So, I will say that a photo of a stuffed bear or a power ranger figure is subject to a lot of DNMC votes.

yeah my peep in the duck challenge probably cost me some but I thought it was fun and the more I do these challenges the more I realize that everyones interpritation is somewhat different so I'm thinking if I go with my gut and since we aren't here for the money if I can produce something that I love well than it is all good but I do try to stay somewhere on the "narrow" path! =0)

In MY opinion (not that my opinion counts for anything) I'd say dolls should at least look a little human(oid). How's that for vague and wishywashy? :)

May I offer some advice? It's a Dolls and Puppets challenge. Shouldn't that sentence immediately tell you don't take it so seriously? That's what Dolls and Puppets really mean! LOL. I'm out.
