for huffmuffin's christmas gift, i made a brave foray into the commercial, fifth avenue vortex that is American Girl. i like the concept - depression-era "kit" in her precociously stepford wives twin set seems a bit more wholesome than the britney-wannabe bratz... i think. but American Girl outpaces Barbie by leagues. American Girls don't have to settle for pint-sized replicas of Barbie's favorite hangouts but recreates them in-store, with a hair salon, theater and cafe you can take your American Girl to, both of you dressed in the exact same outfits! shudder.
i'm not entirely sure we want the huffmuffin treading down this commercial path, but there is no denying her love of dolls. so i went in hunt of a suitably huffmuffin-like clone. this one looks a bit like her, if you were to dip the huffmuffin into a vat of soot...
