you NEVER get to old for dolls.

PERIOD

[Mustang1973mach1]

What difference does that make DIP SHIT!!

[Mustang1973mach1]

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH IT?!!

Dolls are for EVER ONE DIP SHIT! it dosent matter how old you get! IF you love dolls NO ONE should EVER EVER EVER tell you that your to old for them!

Dolls are dreams, they cant ever grow old, they can't ever die. My grams collected them to day she died and now her dreams are mine.

So why don't you take your "your to old for dolls" NON SENSE, stuff it UP YOUR ASS and ROTATE IT!!

JERK!
