November 5, 2008: Stuffing Teddy

100 years ago, 1908 in NYC, this demure young lady is working diligently, stuffing a Teddy Bear.



But look at her hands... they look 50 years older than she does.



Life was tough, much more so than today. Remember that next time you bitch about how tough your life is. Appreciate how tough it was when we walked up hill to school, both ways.

Now get the hell off my lawn.

the fingernail of her left index finger looks weird; maybe a vitamin deficiency?

I've seen lots of guys stuffing teddys. It's not a pretty sight. Especially if the teddy is crotchless.

She and the bear have the same mouth, and neither has eyes. ::cue Twilight Zone music::

It isn't the look of the hand, it is how she uses them

The inventor of the teddy bear, Margarete Steiff, lived and worked in a village not far from my hometown and was confined to a wheelchar all her life due to polio. See alo this biography.

Marketing genius, and pure evil. She even wrote a book about it. (Maxine Clarke)

I never stuffed a teddy bear. I resisted! Never, not ever, no!



Mine is a black and white cow.
