Ashley Brooke, Kewpie83
I'm a book lovin' doll and toy collector. I have a vast collection of dolls, including Mattel's Skipper, BJD's and American Girl. Besides collecting, the majority of my time is spent working in a book filled environment. I hope to one day publish a book or have a TV/film script produced.
