Hicalorie released some plush octopus to generate donation for national child protection & anti drugs charities lately.
Lefty first pushed up against the dumpster out back of Hicalorie studio weeks ago, enslaved by the slippery slope of addiction lefty hasnt moved since. It’s outbursts and slurred ranting were hapily ignored until last thursday lefty shockingly delivered a litter of octopi babies, each one a tiny bundle of narcotics tainted love and affection. Shocked at Lefty’s irresponsibility as a adult octopuss we have withdrawn its rights to parenthood and abducted the entire litter bar 1 which was eaten in protest. To grow up stable and healthy, these guys are gonna need hugs, not drugs.
Help save the world, one limited edition plush-octopus at a time.
