Narcissism reaches new heights with the My Twinn doll! You send in a photo, and in four weeks, voila, they send you a doll with your coloring, hairstyle, and lips. If you look closely at the My Twinn photo gallery, you’ll notice that all of the faces are almost identical, save for the shading and a couple of variations on the pout. If you really want a post-Halloween freak-out, click on the Girls & Dolls photo gallery. A bargain at $149.
