So, the library got a new Sesame Street DVD set in yesterday. "TV Episode Fun Pack Volume 2". Anyway, it had the first appearance of Abby Cadabby on it, and since I have been wanting to see her in action for some time now, I checked out the DVD. I popped it in the player to watch this breakfast this morning and I have to say -
OMG SHE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!
She's adorable. And she's such a 3 year old! I actually want to watch the whole segment again, she was that fun. I know some people were up in arms when she first came out, but I think she's a great character.
Her little training wand doubles as a cell phone. She had to call her mom in the first episode because she turned a toaster into a pumpkin and then couldn't turn it back ("but that's not my trick").
They keep tossing around the term "girly girl" but I don't think she seems like that. Sure, her hair is pink and she's a fairy, but I really don't think that means she's a girly-girl. I consider that a girl who is obsessed with hair/makeup/clothes etc..
There's a few clips on the puppeteer's unofficial site as well as Sesame's site. Also, if you scroll down on the puppeteer's site, you'll find a link to the npr story which is also cute.
Sorry to gush, Sesame Street, Muppets, and Henson stuff always give me the warm fuzzies.
(I wish that some of the attitudes that Abby and the rest of the crew teach kids would stay with them until adulthood. It's like we forget to be kind to others, not judge people by how they look, but to just get together and play a few games before it's time to head home. Why do we deny ourselves that when we get older? Perhaps that's why games like 'World of Warcraft' have taken such a hold on my generation (and older). It's this other universe where it's okay to play.)
