Keval,

 

If you don't mind a creme-orange and

blue sari, I can send you the one I have

for free. I had gotten a Devi Amma doll

a few years ago, but no longer need the Devi

sari. A couple of years ago, when the relics

of St. Therese of Lisieux were on a world tour,

which ironically attracted the same large crowds

as Amma, I took some sewing classes and carefully

performed an "identity re-assignment" operation

on my Amma doll, to turn Her into a St. Therese doll.

The new body is slightly larger than the Amma

doll, with slightly longer arms, so the sari doesn't

fit that well, and I don't think I'll be getting

another Amma doll anytime soon.

 

I know what you mean about being a guy with a

doll. Try being the only guy in a sewing class

full of women; well, that actually wasn't so bad.

 

If you want the sari and crown, and ornaments,

send me your address at tomgull and

I'll mail it out to you.
