Tulani by Annette Himstedt




Looks like I might've finally gone and done it: scored the doll to end all dolls. Four Himstedts ago I was feeling pretty bad, and thinking I'd wanted some more. I really wanted an Atlantean from 2006, never imagining I'd get the best one for nearly what it cost to ship her. She's enormous, by far my biggest doll. I thought she was only a few inches bigger than Maniloa, (Ginger), the Hawaiian from the previous year, but she's way bigger. I figured I'd have to wash her clothes, but I only had to wipe her hands and face and comb her beautiful hair. The only thing she's missing is her net. I was thinking I'd probably pick-up Minou, the Corsican, and Munira, the Hungarian Gypsy, sometime, and make it a proper coven, but I don't know if I will want anymore dolls, now. I might be cured. I'm calling her Atlanta. I think she's my new favorite doll. She's amazing.
