BEWARE FIFTH AVENUE THIS WEEKEND: I am a pretty solid avoider of the American Girl tsunami -- aided in large part by the fact that Cosmo Girl has evinced no interest in the phenomenon, despite having had afternoon tea at the American Girl über emporium (to which tea she brought her stuffed Uniqua and rejected all suggestions from the American Girl waitstaff that she borrow a Kaya, or perhaps a Josefina or a Kit, with whom to savor her scone). But this weekend, the newest American Girl doll will hit the market -- nine-year-old Rebecca Rubin, who lives on the Lower East Side circa 1914 with her parents, siblings . . . and her Bubbie. If ever there were a moment in which the Cosmopolitans might join American Girl Nation, this might be it.
