The Worst News I Have Heard Ever!!

Starts like this...
Artist/Designer Andrew Reichold posts on facebook:
Dolls that look like wrinkly old men are kind of cool.

Me: Super cool! They look like ET dolls.

Steven:

Me:

Steven:

He sent me this link saying, "This is bullshit!" Steven insists that he is NOT a hipster. To prove this point, we took a photograph of Steven in a similar pose. As you can see, there is only a very slight resemblance...
