In the mid-60s, Hasbro came out with a big-eyed doll called Miss No Name. She wore a burlap dress with patches, and her hand was outstretched in a beggar’s pose. And yes…a single tear, dripping from one of her big, sad eyes. LOL, I remember being quite put out about the fact that she bore the same name as my beautiful clothepin doll, which my beloved Nana made for me.
Big eyes scare me, those dolls were creapy I’m glad the don’t make them anymore.
I don’t know why but when they paint that big eyes it feel like lifeless or like a zombie. Well that are my thoughts.:)
Kinda creepy!
Yep!
Remember this artwork of the 1960s…big-eyed puppies & kittens, wide-eyed girls and boys? I didn’t like ’em much. They looked so rag-tag and sad.
Painted on velvet, with a single tear? I used to hate those things when I babysat, and so many people had them on their walls.
Them’s the ones!

i’m with you–I thought they were very disturbing. You could lose yourself in the dark abyss of those hollow eyes.
And yet…they’re high-priced collectors’ items now. Go figure.
Eep!
Some people love those iconic images. Me…I’m with you!
