"Reborn Baby" artist Deborah King poses
with two of her dolls at her home in Fountainhall, near Edinburgh,
Scotland June 16, 2008. "Reborn babies" are disconcertingly life-like
baby dolls carefully crafted in vinyl, which have become swiftly popular
mainly with collectors, but also with nostalgic grandparents and grieving
parents. Made and collected by an online community of enthusiasts, they
are painted several times to create the mottled colour of newborn skin,
have mohair hair and eyelashes, and are weighted to make them feel as
heavy as human babies. (Xinhua/Reuters Photo)
