Lee-Lee Is Here to Stay

I would like to thank everyone who participated in the Leo-Moss-inspired doll waffle for a doll I named Lee-Lee in honor of Leo Moss, a handyman from Macon, Georgia who made black dolls from the late 1800s to the early 1930s.

Lee-Lee was made by Tutu Souza, who donated the doll to DeeBeeGee's Virtual Black Doll Museum to be used as a fundraiser. Instead of a traditional auction, as founder and curator of the virtual museum, I created a doll waffle. Unfortunately, only 12 of the 45 waffle slots were purchased. All slots needed to be purchased for the waffle to be successful and comparable to the value of Tutu's dolls. The waffle ended today, March 31, 2023, and all participants have been refunded through Paypal.

Unboxed, Lee-Lee is now in the company of Holiday Almeda and others.

Lee-Lee is here to stay in the company of other dolls, which include Holiday Almeda, another Leo-Moss-inspired doll by Tutu.

Lee-Lee fits in well with other one-of-a-kind and limited-edition dolls.

About the Artist: Tutu began making Leo-Moss-inspired dolls at the beginning of the pandemic and continues to perfect her doll-artist skills. Visit and follow her Leo Moss Facebook page where she showcases her dolls.

Thank you again, Tutu, for your generosity, and thank you, again, to all waffle participants.

Much love to all of you.
