March 12, 2010 is a day that I, StinkyKid Britt, will never forget.  It is the day that I got my tutu on!!

Place: Harlem, New York at the Alexander Doll Company, Inc. headquarters.

It was a rainy Friday morning, and to most people, this would represent the start of a ‘not so great day’.  But for some people, rain represents good luck, and for me, it was definitely a lucky day!!

I was meeting with the President of the company, along with the VP of Sales, Marketing Manager and Design Director to brainstorm our approach to launching the StinkyKids soft body doll line licensed under the Madame Alexander name.

The meeting was extremely productive but most important, it was fun and refreshing to know that my little stinKer friends and I would be taken care of very well by Madame Alexander.  As I introduced them to the current samples of soft body dolls that I manufactured myself, I, StinkyKid Britt, became the topic of discussion.

Gale, the president of Madame Alexander, really loves me (StinkyKid Britt) and as you know I am the star of the first StinkyKids book titled ‘StinkyKids and the Runaway Scissors’.  I was wearing my signature outfit, my favorite pink leotard with blue flowers and purple sandles.  Gale suggested that an accessory should be added to my outfit.  So…

As most little girls, I enjoyed ballet at an early age and loved my tutu.  That memory lead me to answer  ‘Gale, how about I ‘get my tutu on?!’ ’ Before I knew it, I was swept away by the Design Director, Marianne, and brought to a magical room in building which had a number of sewing machines, tons of beautiful fabric and talented individuals ready to make me my very own custom tutu.

Marianne and Gale proceeded to bring out different rolls of fabric to make sure that we picked out the very best one for my tutu.  Once they showed me the pink tool with silver sparkles, I knew right away we found the right one.  I left this magical room and about 20 minutes later, I knew that the rain was luck.

StinkyKid Britt was wearing the most beautiful tutu, which not only made her red hair glow, but made everyone in the room glow with pride in the we made a decision that would take StinkyKid Britt to the top of her class (i.e. most popular StinkyKid).

March 12, 2010, the day StinkyKid Britt ‘got her tutu on’, was a lucky and magical day and I am very grateful to my new friends at Madame Alexander for helping me be the best I can be!!

So from now on, StinkyKid Britt will always have her magical pink and silver sparkle tutu and all of the little stinKers who enjoy their own tutu, will want to have their very own StinkyKid Britt soft body doll to carry with them to all of their performances.

A lucky and magical day!!!
