Updates: Ignore Mike. I was in OHIO all weekend at the National Plush Enthusiasts Expo! I put my photos in a secure folder because Mike keeps trying to delete my posts.
About Me: I have 400 bears. My absolute favorite Beanie Baby of all time is Iggy the Iguana. Honestly, I use his name as the password for literally everything on my computer! LOL!

Hello dears! Welcome to my little Angelfire page.
So many of you ask about my signature knitting style! My absolute favorite color of yarn to use is Magenta. I have been knitting exclusively with that color since the winter of 1993.

Betty's Log: I had to mail three rare counterfeit bears to that awful teenager, xX_DarkPlush_Xx, to keep his mouth shut. He obsessively cross-referenced the pixel count on my forum pictures with known fakes and threatened to expose me to Mike. The kid is a menace who saves everything everyone posts.
"Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort..."
You are all so fake.
Betty sells fakes. Tom is a loser. And Mike? Mike is the biggest joke of all.
Mike thinks deleting a forum thread deletes it from the internet. Wrong. I right-click + save EVERYTHING.
I have the photo Mike accidentally uploaded at 11:30 PM last night. There was no cat burglar. I know he panicked and locked the evidence in his Admin Vault. He thinks he's secure, but he is so predictable.
He brags about his password formula on every site he joins: It's his favorite recipe (from the forum rules) + the year the Princess Bear dropped.
I'm going to ruin his life tomorrow. Don't IM me.

Mike standing at his front door holding a box labeled "EXPRESS SHIPPING — BETTY'S BARN OF YARN".
His Princess Bear display case is clearly visible and completely intact in the background.
The truth: MintConditionMike sold his real 1st Edition Princess Bear months ago for $4,200. He then ordered a high-quality counterfeit from Betty's black market to fill the empty display case. When Betty's rushed delivery arrived last night, Mike panicked and accidentally uploaded the unboxing photo to the forum before deleting it. Rather than confess, he invented a cat burglar and blamed TagProtectorTom — who really was in Ohio the whole time.
The thief: Nobody. There was no burglary.
The criminal: MintConditionMike — insurance fraud, forum defamation, and purchasing counterfeit merchandise.
TagProtectorTom: Completely innocent. Deserves an apology.
BeanBagBetty: Running a counterfeit Beanie Baby black market. Separately criminal.
xX_DarkPlush_Xx: Annoyingly right about everything.
