    I collect too much stuff. I saw this up for auction a while back, and bought it. This girl is at least a hundred years old, and yet she looks so modern. Obviously, it's not the clothing. It's the eyes and expression.

    This is the first photo of a non-celebrity I ever bought. Now, I have a quite a few.
