THE HOLIDAY TAT SHOP OF DR MOREAU

Man alive, I love holiday tat shops, especially at the end of the season when all that's left is the unsellable items which have been sitting, fading on the shelf since about 2005, hoping that somebody will pass looking to complete their Beyblade collection, or are after a doll with poor standards of spelling.

"Do it"

"But the kiddiewinks - they'll have nightmares. It's like something from The Island of Doctor Moreau. We can 't possibly..."

"JUST DO IT!"

"Don't come running to me when somebody takes the piss out of them on the internet."

"DO. IT."

Tis sad, but I've seen worse. Every doll needs to be loved. Where is 'Pandy Loo'. When I was young, Pandy was a constant companion, until wrenched out of my cold clammy hands by mommy, when I was 26. We all need to move on, I know, tis healthy, after all. We need to move on and form emotional and sexual bonds with girls called, Pandy Loo. Still searching...
