TCD

Bonnet and Tip

Meet Bengali-Dolly.  

   Mary has treasured Bengali-dolly since 2011, when we were last here.  Bengali-Dolly typically can be seen in a Sari.  Today she tried on a traditional 19th century American bonnet and liked it, by all accounts.  She's a cross-cultural doll, you see - rather than utterly westernizing her dress or, alternately, rejecting western clothes entirely, she has blended them into something new.  She is becoming a 'TCD', or third-culture doll.
