This one truly freaks me out. This little girl from China looks so much like a doll that part of me still doesn’t believe she actually is a real person. The pictures suggest that this kid spends a lot of time masquerading as a toy.
Her resemblance to a porcelain or plastic play thing is uncanny and unnerving as well. So much so that I wouldn’t be surprised if a crazed parent frantically shopping for a last minute birthday gift for their own daughter wouldn’t grab her by accident if she was standing still in her local mall’s toy section.
