Oh my god I just want to squeeze them!

Ok, so on Friday night I went out with some friends and invited a guy I'd been talking to on OkCupid to come out with us (being responsible and not meeting online randos alone and whatnot). It was great.

Children's impressions of race ate really interesting/weird.

Haha, thanks!

That's super fucked up (the adult reaction, not that you had a black Ken).

My Ken doll got eventually got wrapped in foil and made into an "Oscar" standing on a platform of cassette boxes after my uncle had a movie in a film festival.

It's a Spice miracle!
