    In the spirit of full disclosure, I feel like I should add that my daughter has one of these. Her name (the doll's) is Rebecca Rubin. She's a Russian Jewish girl growing up in New York in 1910.

    At least it's not adults playing with dolls... that would be terrifying!

    Interesting series, really. Those dolls weren't on my radar screen, and it's somehow reassuring to see something universal through so many lifestyles and social classes. Mixed feelings about it being a commercial venture, but that's the world we live in.

    Going to go listen to Tom Petty, I think...

    Richard,
    Those are horrible.
    Mark, As someone who's into pixies, what's your problem with dolls (blow up or otherwise) could be your next project. OMG the probabilities have driven me to drink, I;m off for some more apple wine.

    Been there.
    Done that.
    Claire had an American Girl day at the AG store in LA a few years back.
    It was.
    Memorable.

    I'm surprised! I found The American Girls to be annoyingly secular.

    When my daughter was interested in dolls they were Cabbage Patch, and I still remember the names of some of them. These dolls occupy a place in my family history, much like a pet. A name makes all the difference in the world.
