In his own words:
"Hi! I'm Donnie Two Dolls! Everybody says I'm fantastic. The best poppet anyone's ever seen. Tremendous, really."

Luxurious synthetic hair
Requires fluffing. Worth it.
Tiny black upside-down heart
Where the empathy organ is normally found.
Decorative hatpin
Because he's a pincushion.
Minute hands
Proportionally accurate.
Anatomically honest backside
No comment.
Inquiring Minds Want to Know
Everything except why you're here. You know why you're here.
No, it's a novelty pincushion and stress relief device. What you do in the privacy of your own home is your business, but we're selling pincushions.
Depends on your stress levels. Gentle handling extends life. Aggressive use shortens it but helps more with frustration. The average Donnie survives 3-6 months of nominal stress relief and one day if you feed it to a stump grinder. Consider it a renewable resource.
Because permanence is overrated. Because it's a handmade plush figure created out of sheer determination, being used as a stress ball. And because science is real and physics exists. Plus Donnie has famously thin skin.
One Donnie (~6.5" of therapeutic absurdity), decorative hat pin, packaging, and the satisfaction of participating in capitalism's most absurd response to political frustration.
You could but we are not issuing refunds. It's a $10 poppet, buyer's remorse is a given.
Like what?
No. When we finish all the Donnies in process now, we are hanging up our scissors.
It started as a joke
A dumb, dark joke.
Friends would say, "What can one person do?" It wasn't rhetorical. It was tired. It was defeated. I'd reply that I was making orange poppets, and mime poking one. We'd laugh. It helped. One night I generated an image of a fuzzy-haired orange poppet and sent it to a few friends. Someone asked, "Where can I buy one?". "I'll ping you when the site launches," slipped out of my mouth all by itself.
Something shifted. I started prototyping. A dozen in I realized that I had no idea what I was doing. The prototypes were rough, slightly tragic. But the orange anxiety didn't fade. It deepened. And interest in the Donnies grew. I started thinking that there might be a market for this. A market of stressed-out Americans might appreciate something tangaged to hold onto when everything else felt abstract.
I aimed for $10 price point and a $1 profit. I imagined hiring grandmas to sew them and retiring to Italy. I was 150 Donnies in by the time I realized that I was the grandma and the $1 profit was super optimistic.
I'm posting the Donnies here as they're completed, hoping they land where they're needed.
Every Donnie sold is proof that individual actions matter.
Even small ones.
Especially small ones.

@RealDonnieTwoDolls has arrived.
This isn't merchandise. It's a $10 warning label for the American condition.
The universe is absurd. Politics is absurd. This product is absurd.
Your stress is real, and sometimes you need to DO something.
This is your something.

Important Disclosures
You're adopting a $10 liability.
Adult Novelty Item — This is not a toy. Seriously. It's a pincushion and stress relief device for adults. Keep away from children and pets. We mean it.
Sharp Object Included — Each Donnie comes with a decorative hat pin. It's sharp. It's supposed to be sharp. It's a pincushion. Please don't hurt yourself or others. Use responsibly.
SERIOUSLY — If you are a child, a dog, or a person who cannot be trusted with sharp objects, do not adopt Donnie.
Intentional Fragility — The Donnies are designed for use, not museum display. Aggressive stress relief will shorten lifespan. The fragility is a feature, not a bug. Like democracy, handle with care but don't be afraid to use it.
Hair Maintenance Required — Fake fur hair can compress during shipping. Fluffing may be required to achieve advertised luxury. Some shedding normal. Actually, a lot of shedding is normal. It's part of the experience.
Limited Quantities — Really truly limited. When they're gone, we are Office Spacing our sewing machines.
This Is Satire — If you don't understand satire, this product is not for you. If you're looking for an actual voodoo doll, this product is not for you. If you can't laugh at absurdity, this product is definitely not for you.
No refunds — It's a $10 poppet. If you know all this and you buy one anyway, we respect that energy.
Please Note: The animation is for entertainment purposes only. As a physical plush, your Donnie will not dance.
