@LillahLawson@JenReadsRomance I can still sing the jingle from this commercial. And I KNOW there was a record somewhere in this line, either as a promo or as an accessory. My little sis was a HUGE Barbie girlie, we shared a room & I was SURROUNDED.
oh hey I guess I should plug my LATINX queer autistic revenge book huh? The Luis Ortega Survival Club comes out on Tuesday 5/23! You can buy it anywhere books are sold 💜
We get monthly donations and that number is up to $6,384. That baseline number really helps us budget! Think we could could get to $6,500 before the end of the night?
