hi. hello. remember how this is a thing we do? basically go fug yourself but with dolls?
nope? may i refer you to my rich seam of informal, doctoral-level scholarship on emotions and dolls: HERE.
yep? let’s roll.

do you ever just feel like…….
yup. ’tis time. saddle up.
as you know, this ain’t our first rodeo. we’ve peered deep into the hell hole of jackie kennedy doll photographs on etsy multiple times before.
