Little Miss No Name

In light of the recent recession, I thought I would do some research on dolls that seemed to resemble the depression era. Well this little doll takes the cake, her "name" is Little Miss No Name and she was marketed in 1965, by Hasbro. She is 15" tall and was created by a famous doll designer, Deet D'Andrade.

Each doll came barefoot and dressed in a burlap sack-type dress with stitched on patches. As far as I know this was the only outfit that she was sold wearing.

Her hand was molded so that when extended, she appeared to be begging. She also has very large, sad eyes with a large plastic teardrop under her left eye. Something about these Little Ms. No Name's is just a little creepy...

Project Zambi: Giving Hope to Children in Need in Africa

ZAMBI THE BABY ELEPHANT is a Special Edition FURREAL FRIENDS baby African elephant that was created to help children who have been orphaned by AIDS in Africa. Some of these children even helped by creating the artwork for ZAMBI's ears, feet and bracelet!

When you pet ZAMBI he will respond just like a real baby elephant. His trunk moves up and down and he can wiggle his ears. My favorite feature though, is the fact that he can wrap his trunk around your finger & "blow" you kisses!
