Reserved Melissa 12/17 Andy Haunted Doll ~ 38" HUGE Vintage Stuffed White Tiger Vessel ~ Paranormal ~ Wild Man ~ 1940s-50s ~ Carnival Worker ~ Alcoholic ~ Funny

Andy is a weird one, Lisa had one of her friends send him to me a few years back.  He was growling at people and knocking over bottles.  So he arrived here and I never would have guessed the person attached to this vessel.  Which is why we never make assumptions in this game.  Andy is an older gentleman, maybe 60 or 70.  He was a carnival worker, a Carnie if you will.  Back in the 40s and 50s.  He used to work the money games and he helped train the larger animals in the traveling show.  Perhaps this is why he chose the tiger vessel.  He was the kind of man who was rough but good-looking still.   Ruggedly handsome.  He could talk to the pants off of any lady, and that's saying something for those days.  He was a sort of wild man in his time.  I would not be surprised if he had children in every town that carnival stopped at, and never knew about any of them.  He was a heavy drinker, and he had a very shady past that even I could not figure out.  He locked it up and kept it from all of us.  I am thinking murder.  I think there is a reason he had to join the traveling carnival.  It's harder to catch someone if they are always moving.  He has the coolest and creepiest memories.  He has seen some weird stuff.  Nowadays, he likes to have a cold beer as an offering, or an unlit cigarette, and he will guard the house.  As much as I deem him to be one of the most untrustworthy men I have known, he seems to be a pretty good guardian. He doesn't like to "bum" around.  he feels like he needs to earn his keep.  So in exchange for having a warm house to live in, I get protection in the form of an old Carnie to watch the house.  it works.  I really like this guy.  I would bet money that he has hundreds of ancestors walking around the nation as we speak.  The carnival went on a circuit from NY to New Orleans and back every year.  I would bet he has kids all on that route.  Andy is very active. Look hard at his face.  He can change it, and it's already very expressive as it is.  We get SO MUCH ACTIVITY from Andy:  Windows opening, cupboards closing, things moving.  Disembodied circus voices.  Weird noises, carnival songs, CREEPY carnival sounds.  I adore him, but I like the outcasts of society best.  I like the people who live on the fringes.  I find kinship with the weirdos.  Oh, and another thing, Andy's vessel is harder than it looks.  He is an awkward snuggler, and you can tell he was never a "hugger".  It's not that he hates to be touched, but he is not a hugger.  He gets all embarrassed when I snuggle him.  Which is funny coming from a previously well known ladies man.  

About the doll:  Andy is a VERY HUGE White Tiger, he will not come with a doll stand he is way too big to need one.
