I wrote a short essay about an object-obsession that made me realize this:

I wrote about the American Girl doll I loved and feared for @SignificObs and I’m looking very cool in the photo they ran with it.

I'm delighted to be in the latest @SignificObs series where I've written about the appeal of hold-on stockings. I'd love to know what you think. Have a quick read (it's short!) and leave a comment! teapawt.net/SignificObs/status/100…
