A battered sex doll left on an industrial corner of Bushwick has become a neighborhood attraction — with locals erecting a makeshift shrine around it.
Chloë Peterson, 29, who lives two blocks away, told The Post she first saw the doll on Monday while showing a friend from Paris around Bushwick. The doll’, which locals say has been resting on the street since at least Sunday, has since spurred a makeshift memorial on Knickerbocker Avenue across from a Pentecostal church. Her ‘s naked head has also been covered with a black garbage bag and a bandana.“I’m surprised there isn’t graffiti of it here already … This is the type of thing that can only happen in Bushwick. In Manhattan they would have already taken her off the street,” one local said.
“I would prefer it to be removed … because it’s super creepy,” Peterson said. “I don’t know who would leave such a doll there and I would prefer not to know.”Despite her desire for the doll’s departure from the neighborhood, Peterson acknowledged she hasn’t called city officials to remove her from the area because she is “afraid to get involved.”Peterson deemed the strange display “misogynistic,” adding that online Reddit users have reported people kicking the doll.
