hate the platform shoes but the legs are nice. map is ok too it would have been great if it were seamless but it's not and that part looks ugly. look at the left leg. south america crashes into australia.

I like the pillows! I don't think I'd go out of my way to purchase them, but if I received them as a gift, I'd probably accept 'em.
