Best new Barbie since "I'm Breaking Our Date" Ken - Hitchcock Barbie.
Happy moments captured. I wanna be the cat. I imagine this is also what Steve Dunn looks like after 8-9 beers.
This is an interesting idea for jewelry except that if you lose one you have to wait 17 years to get a replacement. Cicada earrings.
Useless animal facts.
If I had a dog, I would buy him this pillow as a chew toy. And I would laaauuuuugh...
