I am so glad you got the prototype.

Well, one, anyway since I buy most of my own stuff.

Ed bought me MoMA and the pink hatbox from Unique Vintage, bringing my total to three of those. One in each color.

This doesn't count all of the things I've bought myself, including this prototype Bandstand Beauty wearing the prototype of the ultra-rare "cigarette pants" outfit by Dorina Balanecki.

Many years ago I tried to buy the NRFB version of this outfit at the auction of our late board member Cheryl Power's (Cheryl from LA) collection and lost at the last minute.

I still have a few more "gifts to myself" out there (purchased with gift money from my dad and gift cards from the engineers I work with) including a 2020 centerpiece from the covid-canceled convention and the MH Creature from the Black Lagoon.
