Poor Gwen Goes in the Bargain Bin
When I opened my email this morning, there was a Target clearance e-circular waiting for me in my inbox. And guess what was on the very front?
Why it was a Gwen Stefani doll!
Okay, why didn't anyone tell me that Gwen Stefani has dolls? Of herself? Like lots of them?
I think I may have heard something about a doll being in development but hellloooo? Six (or possibly more) Gwen dolls and four Harajuku Girl backup dancer dolls? The Gwen dolls have entourage dolls?
Anyhow, the one on the circular was "Cool Gwen" though I personally favor "Hollaback Gwen" who, sadly, received only one star from a displeased buyer who thought Hollaback Gwen had hair like straw and was no fun to play with because you can't change her clothes without removing her feet. Ewww.
The whole thing is kind of funny but the descriptions of the dolls are the best:
It’s (Yummy) Gwen, dressed in the signature, super-yummy style that she wore onstage during her tour...
It’s (Everyday) Gwen, dressed in her signature everyday style that she turned heads with in Cannes, France.
Stylish clothing that's hip and today...
With that crafty sales pitch, one has to wonder why the Gwen dolls aren't selling out everywhere; why throngs of girls around the world aren't leaving stores empty handed and in tears.
I really do like Gwen and it's nothing personal but seriously, aren't celebrity dolls just a little um...cheesy?

Bossy isn't sure about all of this, but she does have an opinion on Gwen's husband Gavin Rossdale: he's a living doll.
