The latest in a long line of noteworthy gifts given to us by our driver (Mr. Hou) came in the form of a 14’’ blonde horror-movie doll. The doll was given to Mavis for Chinese New Year.
While the doll was an extremely generous gift we knew from the moment it hit little Maeve’s hands it was going to provide us with some good entertainment. The doll was dressed head to toe in what appears to be early 1990‘s Russian active-wear. As if that wasn’t spooky enough upon closer inspection we found that our tiny Russian spy was “almost” fluent in two languages: Chinese and English.
Ask creepy Anna Kournikova a question in Chinese and she’ll respond in Chinese. Ask her a question in English and she’ll respond in what sounds like broken English at best. We thought we’d take some video of our most recent “question and answer” session with the doll. Enjoy.
