About Alice
“Alice” is a name that conjures up that innocent little blonde girl in the fairy tale, but this Alice is no Mr. Nice Guy! Alice Cooper, depicted here in his role as lead singer for his band of the same name, was born in Detroit, Michigan as Vincent Damon Furnier in 1948. He is an American rock singer, songwriter and musician whose career spans more than four decades. With a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, boa constrictors, and baby dolls, he has drawn his creative inspiration from horror movies, vaudeville and garage rock to pioneer a grand, theatrical show that is oft described as “shock rock.”

Alice is known for his social and witty persona offstage. The Rolling Stone Album Guide has called him the world's most "beloved heavy metal entertainer.” He is credited with helping to shape the sound and look of heavy metal, and he is regarded as being the artist who "first introduced horror imagery to rock'n'roll, and whose stagecraft and showmanship have permanently transformed the genre.” Away from music, Cooper is a film actor, a golfing celebrity, a restaurateur and, since 2004, a popular radio DJ with his classic rock show Nights with Alice Cooper. In 2011 the original Alice Cooper band was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

How Alice was made
Alice's body is made in the MakerDoll Medium Size, from 100% organic, (“natural”) cotton fabric, grown and woven in the USA. His arm joints are secured with vintage black and white buttons and cotton embroidery thread. His clothes are handmade in a MakerDoll original design, from repurposed fabrics. His red leather, striped pants feature a spider and web motif with black striping that conjures up his 2012 London performance. His black shirt features a handpainted red spider and his belts, made from snakeskin and leather, feature metal grommets and a handpainted skull on a leather covered button. He has patent leather boots and his neck and hands are accessorized with a metal chain and black leather strips. Alice’s facial features, which reference a popular photo, are handpainted with professional grade acrylic paints. His hair is made of twisted yarn, hand-sewn onto his head with cotton embroidery thread.
