New Year's Eve, New Doll

It's January 1, 2021: Happy New Year's Day, everyone!

Here are the girlettes
on New Year's Eve at the backyard bonfire last night. Penny Cooper may have become a little tipsy from the champagne (prosecco) fumes. She is wearing the bottle's wire hood.

L to R: Penny Cooper, Eeble, and Spike. Standing,
in the white sweater, is new Tall Doll.

Tall Doll is new here. She doesn't like the name she was assigned at doll-production: "Miss (Clara) Clavel"; she is waiting to find her name here.

The character of Miss Clavel was a nurse at Madeline's boarding school in Paris, but this doll is not that. (And none of the girlettes is Madeline. "She lives in London with Racer," they say).

I wasn't sure Tall Doll'd be okay here, but she seems to be.
I'm not even sure why I got her--she came with a girlette (the new Noodle, below). The first thing she did was cut her hair and her dress, which looked like a nun's habit. She turned out to be much younger than "marketed"---maybe mid-teens?

We don't know yet, but Tall Doll might be the girlettes' older cousin?
(Not that they are sisters to one another; they share the mysterious relationship of being "Orphan Reds".)

 So, this has been my first post of 2021. It looks like 2021 may be much like 2020: FULL OF DOLLS.
Yay!
