They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

Gran: "aren't those women gorgeous in their dresses? so colourful"
me: "yeah they are"
gran: "that'll be all those pennies we sent years ago"
length? about 5'8, shrinking slowly
