This is an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other shoulder just like in the cartoons, an eleven-year-old informs me.  They are, of course, both trying to whisper the best advice to my mannequin head.  But she's not listening.  This pair of dolls lives with a friend of mine now.

We all know this guy.  He used to sit on my shoulder, so I refused to give him teeth when he asked for them.  He has recently flown away to live with a friend of mine in Santa Clara, CA.  I hope he isn't just trying to put the bite on her.

I'm not sure where this tourist is from, but he seems to have visited Hawaii.  He stayed with me for a while, then went traveling again.  His last postcard said he was living somewhere in California, with someone he met at BayCon, a Northern California Science Fiction convention.
