susan@drowsydoll.com -a surprise!

A woman friend of mine, Susan, e- mailed me yesterday informing me about her new web site : susan@drowsydoll.com . Susan is a refined and educated person married to Mark, who still publishes the works of H.P Lovecraft ( Arkam House, I recall ).

She left me guessing what this was all about. But I read : "Everyone love Drowsy ! " . I had second thoughts about checking Drowsy out in a public library. I sent her an e-message : " tell me more ! "

This morning I met Drowsy: " Drowsy is perhaps the most beloved doll made in the 1960s. Made by Mattel Inc; she is a doll who looks like a baby ,yet talks like a toddler.

... " And yet to many of us Drowsy is much more than just another doll--she is the first 'baby ' we ever tried to ' mother' - and for that reason she will always be cherished ".

            " My first Drowsy came  from Santa on Christmas of 1967.
    She was beautiful ... "

 Susan already has many fans visiting her Drowsy web site.

One woman writes : " I love your website, and was impressed with the quality of the drowsy recordings. It was as if I was pulling the strings myself! "

Susan says that she is " aghast at the amount of money people were willing to pay for a Drowsy . "  I  myself have nostalgic memories of a  " Mugs Monkey " doll and a " Howdy  Doody " doll. My mother told me that I was ready to mug for mugs. But I remember that Howdy was my " first love ". I have straightened out of course !

Wow, Ron, must be a slow news day if you're writing about Drowsy!  :)

    Not that she isn't worthy of a letter to the editor!

    Two minor corrections--"Mark" is actually "Marc" and he runs Necronomicon
    Press--Arkham House is an "enemy" publishing house :)

    As for me being "refined and educated", that is debatable :)

    Your letter is great, otherwise. Any publicity is good.  My site is
    listed on some search engines now such as Yahoo and HotBot so that is
    where the majority of v<italic>isitors come from.  We are planning on
    putting up 2 more sets of Drowsy paper dolls which I purchased and more
    pics. of different Drowsys.  Thanks for thinking Drowsy worthy of a
    letter, Ronnie.

        Having a good day here so far.  Am listening to that flake, Myrna Lamb,
    in the background today while doing work.  She is trying to discuss the
    Clinton/Lewinsky/Starr case intelligently--I think she'd be doing better
    if she just did their horoscopes :)


    Hope you are having a good day.  Thanks again.

    Love,

    Susan
