It's the Carol Channing Doll! Available through the JC Penney catalog, of all places! For more info and hilarious commentary, see Stephen's comments on his blog.I got to see the doll in person at Davenport's on Friday night, where Ms. Channing made an appearance with Daryl Nitz and George Howe. (They perform there every weekend, and all you Chicagoans should go see them-- they are brilliant! At 7 years, they are the longest running cabaret show in Chicago.)
I kept staring at the doll, as she sat on a chair looking menacingly around the room, reminding me of that creepy movie Magic with Anthony Hopkins. Something was bothering me... she kind of looked like Carol Channing, but her hair was a little wild, her lipstick a little too overdone.
Then it hit me... it's not a Carol Channing Doll, but a doppleganger, if you will.
All you ABC 7 Chicago Eyewitness News viewers... It's a Theresa Gutierrez Doll!

When Hell In A Handbag got theirs last year and took it out of the box, I thought it looked just like Dolly Parton (post-"work"). Except with smaller bosoms, of course...but she does look like that newscaster too!
Theresa Gutierrez scares the bejeebers out of me - and let me tell you she's not much better in person. My partner Fang and I ran into her at Costco a few weeks ago and turned the corner and I literally jumped.
And what' up with that vercachte beret or hat thing she wears?
"Yeah, I'd hit that. With a stick."
