Also check out the Miss Lupita Project, which held workshops in Mexico, Japan and Portugal to make these dolls and left their decoration to the participants' imaginations. I have two of the traditional ones in medium and large sizes and always thought of them as puta dolls.

I got 3 at a garage sale for the school I worked at while I was teaching Spanish as a Foreign language. One of the moms reluctantly gave them up, but had no more space for them. I now no longer have space, either, but cannot bring myself to give them up! i really enjoyed reading your info and am bookmarking the page!

I was surprised by the name given to these dolls on ebay, because I remember little girls getting them in their Easter baskets ( in Colorado), and knowing their moms, they would NOT be getting a prostitute doll!woolywomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798060848062776281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-47890294070920335922009-09-10T11:24:26.070-05:002009-09-10T11:24:26.070-05:00Rebecca,

As far...Rebecca,<br /><br />I'm glad that you found me :)<br />As far as that "factory" is concerned there really isn't any. The production of dolls is centered around a few families and it is becoming less and less every year. The season when the dolls are sold is at Easter time because I believe they are an offshoot of the effigies of Judas that were also made at that time years ago. Anyway, my suggestion is that you contact the "Casa de la Cultura" in Celaya and ask for information regarding the people who make the dolls. You definitely need to make a trip to Celaya and spend some time rooting them out if you are really interested. Let me know if and when you are coming.Bob Mrotekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016079751197723749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-38957397893331381102009-09-10T09:15:02.610-05:002009-09-10T09:15:02.610-05:00i cannot tell you how much it means to me to have ...i cannot tell you how much it means to me to have found you, and this post. i am searching for information on the traditional papier mache factory that i hear is in Celaya. i am wondering if it is still in use. <br />do you know anything more about this factory? <br />thank you for any guidance you may be able to offer.<br />warmly,<br />rebeccarebeccahttp://www.corazon.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
