Sister I'm A Puppet: Crafty Designer Selling Knitted Morrissey Dolls
With Morrissey plagued by health problems, our chances of seeing the king of melancholy in concert grow dimmer. But now you can take the Mozzer home with you, thanks to superfan Kate Park, who has knit several versions of a Morrissey doll and is selling them online.
"it’s one version of Morrissey that will never, ever let you down and will be there every evening to literally soak up your sad Smiths tears," Consequence of Sound notes. "he’ll always be waiting at home for us — impeccably dressed, well-coiffed, sometimes shirtless."
What's more, a percentage of profits go to the Manchester Dogs Home, as Morrissey is a noted animal rights advocate. (Sadly, plans for a 2015 "Now My Heart is Wool" calendar had to be scrapped.

Park also designed a miniature version of Smiths former bandmate Johnny Marr, which Marr happily accepted as a gift.
Will Morrissey be getting his avatar for Christmas?
