Really good dirty pretty here!
I like your take on the prompt. The imagery and emotions here are raw and vivid.
Marvelously done!
Bravo and thank you for entering

Okay, okay, okay.
Sometimes it works.
You had me cutting out paper dolls and then it seemed okay that letters and lines ran all over the place.
I don't like dirty/pretty. I don't respect the affected.
But I kinda like this.
without prejudice
