The girl with the most cake



















You know you’ve been meaning to pick up a bag of doll parts, and we’ve made it easier for you by narrowing it down to the two most vital doll components: heads and arms. The heads come mounted on wires, and the arms are about half the size of the heads, so the resulting dolls might look sort of disproportionate, not to mention lacking other vital body parts, like legs, torsos and necks. But when it comes to dolls it’s really all about the head. And the little arms. The rest is just eye candy.

The ad copy suggests one use for this product is decorating cakes or vegetables, which really got me excited and ready to purchase. I can already envision my next birthday cake, strewn with a few inedible little arms, my guests eagerly vying for doll heads and licking the frosting from their blond hair as though they were delicious rosettes. And what artichoke or broccoli wouldn’t taste better with a doll head topper?

Instructions for making dresses for these pipe cleaners with heads and arms are also included, for you crafty types. If you think they’re cute as is, wait ‘til you see them in their urban wasteland outfits.
