The mother denied these allegations, but the legend around this hyper-realistic dummy was too far gone.
oday, even skeptics have a hard time understanding how the detailing on the hands and legs are so precise. One shop worker, Sonia Burciaga, who has to change the dummy’s outfits twice a week, told Ripley's,
"Every time I go near Pascualita my hands break out in a sweat. Her hands are very realistic and she even has varicose veins on her legs. I believe she’s a real person."
However, even if La Pascualita was meticulously cared for and embalmed every day, it's impossible that it would remain in such good condition for such a long time.
The climate in Mexico just wouldn't be able to support such a delicate process, and her features would change dramatically. Yet the question about the realistic state of her hands pops up every time, and that's something that'll probably never be answered.
