Sara fancies dressing up on Halloween. It brings back the days of girlhood–dragging the big cardboard Dress-Up Box out of the closet and diving into feathered, sequined accessories, and colorful Halloween costumes of years past. My mother is an excellent seamstress and my father is clever and inventive. Together they used to whip up amazingly creative and ornate costumes for me overnight. I wish I still had them all. To fill the void, and revive my inner child, I may have to start collecting Paranoia Dolls. Except that these dolls are most certainly for grown-ups.

Incredibly detailed down to the eyelashes, the dolls range in style from mystical doe-eyed princesses to red-eyed tributes to Twilight. Hitting the vampire culture/couture craze at its mass-market peak and just in time for Halloween, paranoiadoll.com is due to launch sometime in October. Perhaps then we can learn more about the creator of these rebellious toys, because it seems the brand is appropriately named—there’s nothing to be found about the artist online.
