derek turned doris?

I must introduce you to Derek. I think this is the strangest looking doll in history, he is so out of proportion it's ridiculous. But, I sort of feel sorry for him so I've highlighted him amongst Kitty's babies as being somebody very special. I named him Derek.

Last week, unbeknownst to me, my 10 year old stepdaughter decided to knit Derek.... wait for it....a dress!!!! When I mentioned that he was a boy she replied 'I know, he's a male that likes to wear dresses'.

I think it's totally fantastic that Ashley has learnt to knit and done such a fine job of it, but also, that Kitty's baby collection now includes one cross dresser. Gold!

  4. Derek is excellent ! Being a big Eddie Izzard fan I'm hoping Derek falls in the "executive transvestite" role!
