April 3, 2009: A guest blog post over at geekgirldiva's, wherein Lyra, Serafina and I try to cheer up a broken-hearted Elizabeth with doll browsing.

"Who's that in purple?"

"That's, uh... Catwoman?"

"I wanna be a catwoman."

Elizabeth pointed to Catwoman's precipitous neckline: "Is that--can you actually see her articulation?"

"Uh... maybe when you're older, Lyra."

Dolls mentioned

Full disclosure: I have an Entertainment Earth affiliate account, and geekgirldiva put my affiliate ID into each link. That said, most of the entry is the girls critiquing the dolls ("That scarf is a girly scarf"; "She looks plenty cold to me").
