Download or read book The Secret Life of the Lonely Doll written by Jean Nathan and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2013-05-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A glamorous, haunted life unfolds in the mesmerizing biography of the woman behind a classic children's book In 1957, a children's book called The Lonely Doll was published. With its pink-and-white-checked cover and photographs featuring a wide-eyed doll, it captured the imaginations of young girls and made the author, Dare Wright, a household name. Close to forty years after its publication, the book was out of print but not forgotten. When the cover image inexplicably came to journalist Jean Nathan one afternoon, she went in search of the book-and ultimately its author. Nathan found Dare Wright living out her last days in a decrepit public hospital in Queens, New York. Over the next five years, Nathan pieced together a glamorous life. Blond, beautiful Wright had begun her career as an actress and model and then turned to fashion photography before stumbling upon her role as bestselling author. But there was a dark side to the story: a brother lost in childhood, ill-fated marriage plans, a complicated, controlling mother. Edith Stevenson Wright, herself a successful portrait painter, played such a dominant role in her daughter's life that Dare was never able to find her way into the adult world. Only through her work could she speak for herself: in her books she created the happy family she'd always yearned for, while her self-portraits betrayed an unresolved tension between sexuality and innocence, a desire to belong and painful isolation. Illustrated with stunning photographs, The Secret Life of the Lonely Doll tells the unforgettable story of a woman who, imprisoned by her childhood, sought to set herself free through art.

Book excerpt: "Eeeewww. Fake Barbie(R) clothes." Those four words verbalize the faint disgust yesterday's savvy kids felt when, in the midst of doll play, an inferior, generic, or "clone" dress or top suddenly surfaced from their sizable supplies of perfect Mattel doll outfits. The impostors were treated as tainted outcasts and were basically left to rot. Today, a younger generation of doll lovers is on the rise. These leap-for-cheap fashionistas gleefully embrace the very items their quality-conscious predecessors detested. Here, for your viewing pleasure or revulsion, are nearly 800 not-exactly-gorgeous getups and some of the downgraded dolls who wore them, mostly from the '70s and '80s ('80s collectors, rejoice! Your time has come!), many in their original packaging. Prepare to shield your eyes from clumsily drawn fashion figures, pathetic attempts at high-fashion lingo, and mediocre package graphics culled from around the world!

Six reversible paper dolls in a variety of skin tones come with the book. Half of them have pre-printed faces, and the other half are ready to be customized. There are bunches of reversible clothes, shoes, and hairstyles that make exactly one jillion different combinations. (We counted.) Of course, any fashion expert will tell you that accessories are the key to snappy dressing, so we've provided plenty of them, from hats to sunglasses to soccer balls to tiaras. To round out the family, three baby paper dolls and a few paper pets are also included. Artists from around the globe were commissioned to create six beautifully illustrated backdrop scenes. Prop open the book to one, and your dolls are transported to a beach, ballroom, theatrical stage, neighborhood park, winter wonderland, or only-slightly-messy kids' bedroom. In the back of the book is a nifty portfolio-pocket armoire, providing plenty of wrinkle-free storage for the dolls, clothes, and accessories after they've been punched out. The Fabulous Book of Paper Dolls is a fabulous introduction to a classic activity - now freshened up for a whole new generation.
