We Played With Dolls
Is it 1984 all over again? Apparently, Cabbage Patch Kids are a "hot" item for the 2004 shopping season. Cabbage Patch kids are rather low tech considering things like a model R2-D2 robotic action toy.
So anyway, we'll admit it. We had Cabbage Patch kid dolls. Growing up on the hippie commune, we did things like eat bean sprouts and tofu [supposedly; we don't believe these rumors]. And we played with dolls.
So in either case, we had a little brown haired, brown eyed CPK that resembled us, and if we recall correctly, a pretty girl CPK too. As the grandson of a tailor, we also had the resources to sew clothing for our miniture self [though, we will say, our Teddy was the largest recipiant of suits, pants, and shirts].
Well now it looks like we can relive our childhood memories. Besides their new found popularity, there is going to be movie. We have to say we rather have brought back the Fraggles than the CPKs.

I was going to say something here about your effiminacy, but then I recalled that I was a big fan of My Little Ponies. Though I stopped playing with them around the time my fingers came fully under my control. I never, however, made clothes for them.
Puh-lease, Ian. Even a budding fashionista such as myself neglected to make clothes for my Cabbage Patch doll. Come to think of it, I pretty much neglected my doll, period. She was hideous, with dishwater blond curly hair--I think my parents only picked her out because her name was Hedy, which close enough to Heather, I suppose.
I think that just as long as The Powers That Be don't bring back that horrifying My Buddy doll, it's all good in the hood, so to speak.
