Poor Barbie.
She must have had great hopes as she sat on the toy store shelf in her pretty packaging just waiting to be picked up and taken home by a little girl who would love her forever. Certainly included in her ambitions were visions of being dressed up in fancy shoes and gowns and toted [...]

Remember this photo of a bed bug feeding on the arm of one of our staff? Well that was cool. But when we saw it we all knew it was not as cool as it could be.
