It's Sunday morning, and I'm enjoying my coffee and reading the free paper that comes on Saturday before we embark on cleaning the new apartment. It's almost Dia das Crianças (Children's Day), which has become about buying your kids presents. The paper has an article about toys that were popular in the past, and there is a little tiny picture of one of the scariest things I've ever seen:
This is Boneco Fofão (or The Cutest Doll). I guess he started out as a character on a children's TV show (Balão Mágico) in the late 1980s, and then was made into a doll. Now it's kind of become like the doll "Chucky" and there are urban legends about it. This needs to be added to the Brazilian Creepy Doll Phenomena, and pretty much secures another CBD award. Any Brazilian readers out there have one of these?
Sorry if it gives you nightmares.
