Description

Dolly’s forlorn. Everywhere she goes, she can’t seem to escape it. Relationships. Left and right, she is surrounded by couples, but she can’t seem to find the right guy for herself. She just wants somebody to split the rent with. Lana and Uma hate seeing Dolly in this state, when they have the most spectacular idea: wait, why don’t we just build a boy using heartthrobs from across the ages? Prepare yourself for an adaptation of Frankenstein that is fun, flirty and feminine; a dissection of the male gaze.
