Full Body Inflation

Today was the big sale. Tess walked down the street, her long hair bouncing from side to side. She had just gotten her paycheck today and it was just burning in her pocket. One of Tess's number one hobbies is to collect rare toys, though most girls at her work find her very immature when it comes to her hobby.
