American Girls Newest Doll... is ME!!!

The newest doll in American Girl's collection is a Jewish New Yorker, but does that just mean she costs more?
Picture
Her name is Rebecca Rubin (so Jewey), not to be confused with the 1993 Camp Canadensis Color War Captain... or the Rebecca Rubin who got a breast reduction on Nip and Tuck... or my cousin's roommate at GW... or the feminist lesbian rabbi who lives on a houseboat in Sausalito, CA. This Jewbecca is the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants to the United States at the turn of the 20th century... and a Triangle Factory fire burn victim (jk, but in a perfect world).

While I must admit that I have a strained relationship with American Girl (my Refugee Girl parody has yet to materialize into an equally successful franchise), kudos to Mattel for planting the seeds of religious tolerance in the hearts and minds of little blonde consumers around the Midwest. If it weren't for this Jew, those cornfed tweens might have had to wait until college to meet one!
