The **Tina** doll – pull her string and she’ll sing _and_ run into her own fist! The **Annie Leibovitz** doll – comes with a camera, three Manhattan houses and a country residence and $24 million in debt. The **Oprah** doll – comes with . . . oh hell, it doesn’t matter, you couldn’t afford her anyway. The **Sarah** doll – come with borrowed clothes. She does nothing, knows nothing – wait, this version could actually _be_ president. ---

> [@Audrey\_Levins](#): > > If you follow the links to the American Girl website, the reviews of this doll are decidedly…odd. Rave reviews from apparently grown women. The website has a “relationship to child” blank and several people filled it in “Purchased for self.” > > Who are these people? People who didn’t have a childhood, and are now celebrating it? People who just like dolls? I’m not sure I understand what’s wrong with that. Lots of adults collect kiddie stuff. As for those of you who replied, what’s that word again for people that judge classes of people without ever having even met them? ---

Joy, the Child Beauty Pageant Mom. Comes with child doll Kiera and makeup set! Outfits, hairstyles, fake nails, fake teeth, jewelry, spray-on tan and shoes sold separately. Joy’s head features a twist-off skull with nothing inside! Use it to store Kiera’s accessories! Press the button on Kiera’s back to hear one of two phrases: “Mommy, I’m tired.” “Mommy, I just want to go and play now.” And the button on Joy’s back delivers two phrases as well! “I can’t believe we didn’t win. You messed everything up for us again.” “Oh honey, we won! Look at all the money for mommy - I mean, you. The money for you.” Husband Steve sold separately. Features downcast head and outturned, empty pockets. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > Minh Lo- the Bangkok child prostitute doll. $95 but you’ll get your money’s worth or the clerks at the store will “have a talk with her”. That sounds Vietnamese. Certainly not Thai. With all of the Thai women who have some derivation of “porn” in their names, I’d go with that: Supaporn, Pornthip, even just Porn by itself is common. ---

Surely for $95 you could buy an actual homeless person. ---
