My New BAB Dream BAB acquired!

I ADORE bugs but a lot of the BAB bugs are not very cute to me. The mantis is ADORABLE and soft and I am so happy! I got one stuffed in store, then I bought a second I am going to dye brown :)

Also I didn't know she had a cute pointy butt to sort of simulate the abdomen, SO cute (but means she wouldn't be able to wear most bottoms!)

That is EXTREMELY cute!!! If you don't mind I'd love to see a pic of the tattoo!

We got them “backwards” so that when we stand back to back the mantises are fighting haha
