Stuffie Lookalikes
intro by Lily Montgomery, photos by Gracen Bayer, and design by Ileana Rea Martinez
Teddy bears. Beanie cats. Plastic frogs, plush dogs with faded ears and the remnants of baby blankets. Most people have something. Some small toy, scrap of fabric or well-loved stuffed animal worn down by time and affection that remains from childhood. PULSE wanted to test a theory when it came to these time-tested treasures: do you look like your favorite childhood toy? Do you now have the same haircut as your first doll? Do your eyes hold the same sparkle as the stuffed elephant that sits in a place of honor at the top of your bookshelf? See if you can find resemblance between lifelong friends in these next few pages.
