I mean, he did buy you a sweet lime-green Triumph AND a princess phone.

I think that's a good comparison. And yeah, where did you come up with that? It's great, but I wonder how that happened...

I like "Sin Pit"....

LOL — I love that. I would SLAY a newsletter!

She was always popular in my childhood decor. But I guess I meant more Barbie-like dolls.
