Agnes Pearl
I was young and rather filled with my own sense of self appreciation.
Full of myself. Mostly.
I had something really special once. Even then I knew that I'd made a terrible mistake discarding it so easily.
There was a sadness on me disguised by the mascara and lipstick that couldn't be cured by dancing on a Friday night.
It was in one of those Dance Halls that I met Agnes Pearl.
She had a gruff exterior and yet I think her heart was nothing but a marshmallow.
She was singing in a kind of chokey and smokey voice, and I remember one of the lines she voiced deep from some cavernous place near her marshmallow heart was "Find love then give it all away."
Agnes Pearl is made of muslin and calico fabric with a tulle underskirt. She has llama roving for hair.
She's about 8 inches tall
