That Doll Has Been Named and the winner is....
Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 09:28AM Congrats to the following Amarettogirl Blog Readers: Alexis and Blue Demon- Your suggestions have become a part of the naming of this doll!
meet Alma Destripada named by Amarettogirl Blog readers Alexis & Blue Demon and me!
I used your contributions as diving boards for her final name selection. Alma does indeed mean "Soul" is Spanish, Alexis and Blue Demon suggested pairing it with 'Partida' which means broken in Spanish, so after considering a pairing like that, I decided DESTRIPADA was more accurate to my intention (since it means to gut the internal organs of an animal in Spanish). And well that was just much more what I was after. And now you get to see what is in place of her heart!
Time is the culprit here, repetitive, man-made, industrial TIME. It has ripped her heart out and left her to wait in ruins for what feels like an eternity....
Also thank you to all who contributed so many amazing options! It made choosing so so so so hard, runner ups were Clotilde and Melan Chloe. I even had some blog-comments-gone-awry-turned-texts reach me via my cell suggesting awesome names like 'Orla'!
SO WINNERS! You don't just get your username in blog lights here, you get a photo of Alma!! (signed if you like). So if you want to claim it contact me via the contact button! and runner ups you get my constant love and devotion!!

Hola Marisol!
"Alma Destripada" If simply FABULOUS!!! The clock instead of a heart is such a sooooo cooollll idea!!!! I love your blog, too! I think it's time for you to submit to the blog magazine! Hugs, Lillian
The idea of replacing the heart into a clock is genius! There's so much sadness in the doll's eyes. I love it.
