I can't pinpoint the exact date, but it was probably around 1993. I had finally gotten my head out of the books, graduated from college and settled down with a job when I "noticed" the AG catalog in my mail. "Noticed" being the operative word, because I was probably getting them all along, but I was too busy with my studies to notice.

I tell you I wanted one of those girls from that moment on, but it took me almost 12 years to finally break down and get one for myself.
