As the play progressed and scenes changed, Audrey II grew larger and larger, finally ending up the size of a small Volkswagen, equipped with fangs and a mouth full of purple feathers.

...source at Nordstrom's who hides new models for her; driving from her Los Angeles home to San Diego and Santa Barbara, Calif., to follow up on rumors of Beanie supply; attending Beanie conventions; and frequenting a tiny Barstow, Calif., shop where she finds rare Beanies. "It's a supplier. It's like drugs!" she laughs. With display cases in her living room, a Beanie MasterCard, magazine subscriptions, T shirts, mugs and pens, and clothes for the toys, Henry knows she's somewhat infatuated.
