The Love Divine

I notice that before Christmas, I mentioned that I was trying to bully my mother into making a doll of Divine in Pink Flamingos for a friend of mine. Well...

She's a little thin, looks a little like a random contestant from RuPaul's Drag Race, and the dress looks a little more "Mahalia Jackson" than it does "Filthiest Woman Alive," but I'm pleased that we were able to make this work. My mother did all the sewing, naturally, while I painted the face. I was really pleased with how the eyes turned out.

My friend has it on the table next to his bed, so it's the first thing he sees when he wakes up in the morning.
