“When Mike Kelley moved to Los Angeles in the mid 1970’s to attend the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, several of his first public performances and exhibitions occurred at LACE including “The Little Girls Room” where Kelley exhibited props, drawings, photographs, writings and an environmental audio work. Building his reputation as a provocateur, many of his pieces critique American culture and consumerism and are intended to make the viewer uncomfortable.”

This plush toy has a startling characteristic. Like many plush toys, when you squeeze their belly they speak, but this one speaks 20 different phrases you don’t expect to hear from a toy. It says things like “Hurt me, I don’t mind,” and “Do you really love me?”
