Everyone, meet Lucy
29 September 2005
Dear Lucy,
Please say Happy Birthday to Winki when she meets you tonight, mmm’kay? You were made as her birthday present. She wanted a Princess Someone-Else-No-One-Wants-To-Leia, but I can’t really make a second doll based on the same idea, so the idea of a raver kid came up and I had to work out how to make a few pairs of socks look like an electronically- and chemically-fuelled good time.
I’ll have you know that many barriers have been overcome with your birth, young Lucy. Hair is no longer a problem, and straws and spangles clearly solve a lot of crafting issues. I even went out and bought embroidery thread from the local cross stitch store to make you a bright necklace. So, I also have you to thank for forcing me to remember how to knot friendship bands, something I haven’t done in over a decade.
I went through a phase of dyeing my hair all sorts of odd colours way back when, and I’ve never been a rave kid, so you, Lucy, had to have some blue streaks in your hair.
You sure know how to have a good time, Lucy. Because of your hair and hat, your head is a little heavy and it tips back a little bit. Perhaps a straw (!!) can be inserted into sock brains in future to ensure a more rigid spine. I didn’t quite get your feet right, either, and I’m so sorry about that. One of your legs is thicker than the other, but that could be from your favouring one leg while hopping around to happy hardcore.
I may not approve if your taste in music, Lucy, but you make your choices and I make mine. You are old enough to dye your hair and be blissfully happy with lousy techno (I do wonder about that), and I will support you in your life decisions.
Love,
Mum
