Among the many things I acquired in the waning days of Toys R Us was a Cabbage Patch doll sized for Brit, who'll be the owner of the farmhouse I started building this past January.

But wait, you say--Brit? She's another doll that got lost in the blog-slog. It's traditional in my family that I get a present on Christmas Eve to keep me distracted amidst the excitement (and now that "excitement" is no longer "waiting for Santa" but "waiting for dessert to bake," distraction is still equally appreciated). This past year, my Christmas Eve surprise was Brit.

| Oh hi, guys. |
Brit is a 7" fashion doll with, as you can see, articulation. We didn't initially know who she was meant to be, though she has the air of a doll who's meant to be someone. But wait--
she's Britney Spears. (Or, properly,
it's Britney, bitch.)
While I've gone through a number of prospective tenants for my planned 1:12 dollhouse, my secret wish (so secret I hadn't discussed it with Mom in any way) was for a 7" fashion doll. So here she is, and Brit is going to live the alternate-universe life in which she plays acoustic guitar and has a home studio in the attic of my work-in-progress
Home Depot Imagination Dollhouse (the big Christmas item for this past year).
Let's open up that Cabbage Patch package and see what's inside.
