It looks like something of a horror movie.  Hollywood might want to pay big money to use it in a movie.  Right now, however, it is earning its keep by being dragged around by a 2-year-old girl.  She is at least the 6th 2-year-old girl to have the privilege in the 50+ years of The Doll&#8217;s existence.<\/p>\n<p>This thing is my sister&#8217;s Velveteen Rabbit.  You&#8217;d think that might mean she just loved all of the hair off of it, but that is apparently not true since she blames our other sister for cutting it off.  I can&#8217;t vouch for that in the least.  The Doll has been bald my entire life.<\/p>\n<p>She did have both eyes the last time I touched her, though, and I won&#8217;t have anybody tell it any differently.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width:auto;\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/lh\/photo\/sRt36qvAeycpQPQculvVZA?feat=embedwebsite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lh4.ggpht.com\/_E6lbe0LfNpo\/TIwzZrqpXoI\/AAAAAAAAAK8\/k0i69au-qOE\/s400\/None.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right\">From <a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/sharon.gerald\/CybershotPics?feat=embedwebsite\">Cybershot Pics<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>The eyes don&#8217;t seem to matter.
