You never get over your first love... especially when that love has button eyes, a little felt nose, and a heart made of stuffing.
Dirty Wow Wow and Other Love Stories: A Tribute to the Threadbare Companions of Childhood is a love letter to all of the lovies in the world; the well worn sock monkeys, the teddy bears with the plush rubbed off, stuffed animals with hastily sewn back appendages. These are the toys our children sleep with at night, and drag around with them all day, the ones that keep us up at night, worried about what will happen on the inevitable day that the beloved Center of the Universe is inadvertantly left on a plane, or at grandma's house.
edit please. your title and links say "Dirty BOW Wow..." when, as shown clearly in the imag,e the title is "Dirty WOW Wow..."

..i still have mine, repared multiple times by my mother, and i will never, NEVER, give or throw it away! It is a doll made of fabric, stuffed ( well, it lost some stuffing with the time...) and called "baby". "Baby" has its place sitting in my bibliotheque, next to my first Skipper ( Barbie).

My son now carries around mine. She's a bear called Carmelita L. Roberts. I've had her since I was 7.

Hey Molly H, thanks for correcting that link for me. That error really made me upset and totally screwed me up. I was all into the Dirty Bow Wow, but when I found out it was Dirty Wow Wow, I just didn't like the post anymore. Christ, who cares.
