Why MakieDoll?

 
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
 
My given name is Makenzie Marie Greimann.  However, my older sister at the age of 2 couldn’t say Makenzie so ‘Makie’ came into the world right along with me on a cold Minnesota morning the day after Christmas 1981.  At the ripe age of 24 I married none other than a fellow actor and idea man named Jason.  That is, Jason Alan Caine if you’re reading his AFTRA card and looking at his headshot, but Jason Small if you’re looking to do business, issue a visa or cash a check.  Once all was said and done, I officially became Makenzie Marie Greimann-Small.  But ‘Caine’ was so good I couldn’t resist and it became my stage name the minute I said ‘I do.’ (Much better than Small don’t you think?  And no casting director ever said Greimann correctly anyway.)  The last name charade can be confusing (if you look at our mailbox you’ll see why) but to keep it simple and just the way I like it, you can call me Makie for short and no other names are necessary.
 
 
WHY MAKIEDOLL?
 
My husband came up with this whole idea of the MakieDoll: sometimes it cries, sometimes it laughs, and sometimes you don’t know what to do with it but leave it alone for a while.  Sometimes you might wish for an upgrade, a replacement part or at the very least a handbook of some sort!  This whole analogy can go on and on and it about makes me die with laughter every single time Jason gets going (as he’s usually trying to cheer me up or alter my mood in some fashion) no matter how upset I may have been to begin with.  I’m personally hoping the MakieDoll 2010 comes with less allergies, more energy and a better communication device!
