About Me

"Keep imagining kids! There are hundreds of uses for an Algird Doll. Use me to save lives at the pool! Or prop me in the corner and I can hold up to one hat! Why, you could fill me with bees and use me to kill! Give me to your daughter and she'll have the biggest doll in town... with fuckable orifices! Use me to deter burglars! Because if I'm in plain sight, no one's going to want to touch anything in that home until it's been boiled!"
