Comme tu dansais bien le Rock 'n 'Roll


Joanna Pallaris

Strange affiliation/ fear of dolls subconsciously lurks...Though I do not recall having one as a child, nor remember that feel to carry one around as toddlers so often do. They carry, as indeed do Clowns (if not more so), evil and harmful suggestions. These connotations are all the more confirmed in old pictures, films; the scene in Barbarella when the little children set their fang bearing blue and red dolls on the tied up Barbarella. In Marathon Man we see a close up of an 'innocent' doll by chance in the streets of Paris, seemingly to set ones mind at 'ease', before a bomb explodes. Maybe I am just easily swayed by all these films, however I think not.
