I love you, Alice B. Toklas paper doll
Categories: Museum Work

On one of those “I can’t believe this is my job” days, I got to create Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas paper dolls. And then in one of those “I can’t believe this is happening” moments they were featured a Jewish Daily Forward blog and on Jezebel.com. All the outfits are based on photographs from the exhibition Seeing Gertrude Stein: Five Stories. The process involved a bit of research, and lots of impassioned discussions about the historical accuracy of their undergarments.
