Grim!
Latest item from KSHS:
This nearly complete Frozen Charlotte doll was recovered from the Martindale Cabin in Greenwood County. Frozen Charlotte dolls, a type of china doll, were made from 1850 to the 1920s. The doll takes its name and form from an American folk ballad called "Fair Charlotte" and a poem by Seba Smith called "A Corpse Going to a Ball." In these tellings a young Miss Charlotte's vanity over her party dress causes her to refuse a cloak and this results in her freezing to death on the carriage ride to the party. This Frozen Charlotte doll measures 1 1/2" tall, has her black hair pulled back into a bun or in a snood, has black eyes and eyebrows and red cheeks and lips.Merry Christmas, dear! Here's a lifetime of screeching nightmares for you! Play with it and learn the HARDASS lessons of eternal death in an icy grave! Damn! It's a long long way from Frozen Charlotte to safe spaces and microaggressions. Proper civilization belongs closer to the Frozen Charlotte end of the spectrum, but not all the way.
