Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

My Mother's Madame Alexander Doll Sara Jeanine Smith (bio) slept in the posh coffin of a turquoise fauxsnakeskin cosmetic box. Her box was on the top shelf in the closetof the tiny bedroom I shared with my brother in our singlewide mobile home,tucked away where he couldn't reach. She was precious and porcelain.To raise her from her casket was to exhume a jewel from antiquity.Her skin was impossibly white, her blue eyes framed by lashes so thickthey must have been made of mascara or fortified with tears. Her eyes would open onlywhen I turned her upright. Until then, she nested in a bed of her own clothing,coats and muffs and jaunty hats we never wore in Florida. When I pumped her legs in a scissor-slice,her head would magically pivot, glancing to each side of her in an oh so glamoroussafety lesson for crossing a busy street [End Page 129] in a faraway city, somewhere in Russia, perhapsor New York or Canada, somewhere cold I had never been. Her blond hair framed her face,curling only at its ends, not like my brown untamable mop of curls. Her mouthwas not quite a kiss, not quite a smile, and she seemed to know a secretshe would never tell me. I knew that I would never be friends with this perfect girl. If she were real,she would never speak to me or look my way as she crossed whatever street in one of the polar citiesthat haunted my dreams. But I wanted to be her, to be so special and delicate that to remove mefrom my makeup box would be an occasion no boy would be allowed to interrupt. I wantedto stride down some foreign boulevard in a fur coat and hat, cutting the cold airwith my confident legs, always watching with my ice-blue eyes,staring down any danger that dare shatter me.
