Labubu dolls may seem like an odd and somewhat immature interest, but their appeal is undeniable to those who appreciate their unique charm. Although I have not yet added one to my collection, I am actively working on it. This section explains why these creepy yet cute dolls have become a topic worth writing about.

I was born in the town of Lebanon, Oregon in the not-too-distant past... ok who am I kidding it was 46 years ago at the end of the 70s. I know there are some who may or may not know what that decade was like. Oh! I just remembered (old-timers trying to set in), my name is Jessica Pearcy. That is pronounced as Peer-sea if you are wondering, I know it doesn't look like it by the spelling, but I didn't get a choice in that. Anyways, where was I? That's right 1979. What a year, not that I remember much more than crying, eating, sleeping and making a mess in my britches (I was a baby I didn't ha...
