A magical doll (also known as ritual effigies, voodoo dolls, Kolossos and Kolossoi) made for the purpose of spell-casting and/or ritual magic in Witchcraft and Voodoo. Right word; wrong definition. (... or, rather, a decidedly archaic one...!) :)
"Poppet" also means "small child" (see the Middle English derivation, at the dictionary site referenced)... and: that's how I meant it -- plainly, I think -- in context.
Sorry to have alarmed you. Not intentional, that. :)

As someone else asked, why was she on Face the Nation ? Oh yes, I forgot she was at Cannes shilling for daddy. Parts of FR are becoming must reads for aspiring comics and could be jipped by Late Night comedians.
Lots to Ridicule.
