I just know someone in my office is going to be thrilled to know there is now a Katy Perry doll–you know, the woman famous now for torturing us with “I Kissed a Girl,” and “Ur So Gay.”
Integrity Toys is to blame and is selling the doll for $50. It has a gold minidress based off of Perry’s outfit in the ‘’I Kissed a Girl’’ music video.
Don’t forget to get Skipper on your way out, and cherry Chapstick at Walgreens to make some Katy Perry magic happen …

Mari: Thanks for the final proof I need that my staff is trying to kill me.
Does your doll wink?
Jimmy – I just told someone that I think my real job is to try to get you as close as possible to a nervous breakdown and then pull back just in time. So no, my goal is mental instability, not death, dear editor, not death.
Red Star – I don’t think she winks… too bad.
And this is relevant/interesting to Tucson? This drivel” supplements the mission of the Tucson Weekly how?
I think that Mari is a good and competent writer. I also think she needs her own blog, if she doesn’t have one already. I also think the other employees/writers/contributors to the Weekly should step up and write more for this blog. It has too long been just Mari’s voice shouting here in the darkness.
“my personal opinion
Oy Vey. There are other postings that have more meaning to Tucson. But c’mon Rick. It’s Katy Perry. Geesh.
Who or what is a Katy Perry?
And why do I care? 😉
Rick – I need Katy Perry because she drives my editor crazy. I can’t do it alone, so I need Katy Perry… I need Katy Perry.
The people who make the Katy Perry doll should team up with Real Doll. Then you could kiss a girl too.
And now I will save the day by contributing to the blog (which I know I have been lax about) and by engaging in shameless self-promotion!
