American Girl Place New York Photo Tour

rebecca-agpnyA few years ago we visited New York City and one of our destinations was the American Girl Place on 5th Avenue. The store was absolutely magical as far as my daughters were concerned. One of Doll Diaries readers, known for her Bonggamom site, recently visited the American Girl Place in New York and has shared her photos both on her site (see Bonggamom’s AGPNY post) and on Flickr.

I love all the Rebecca displays – it is just such a neat collection. She also took some great pictures of the new Make a Tee activity that I saw at the Chicago store. You pick a simple t-shirt for your doll, select the color and then pick from a bunch of iron-on transfers to have applied. The activity is $10 – which is a bargin compared to just about everything else at American Girl Place. It is a nice little souvenir that the girls will enjoy doing.

Go check out her pictures and remember, if you visit an American Girl Place or even one of the Boutique & Bistro shops, we’d love to read the trip report or see the photos. Just email us at share@dolldiaries.com.

  5. Anne on October 14th, 2009 1:45 pm

    I want to go there, too! It is the closest AGP to where I live.

  6. Bubbles on October 14th, 2009 3:24 pm

    I might go there next summer!

  7. Gracie on October 14th, 2009 3:46 pm

    get rebecca!

  8. Lily on October 14th, 2009 3:57 pm

    Just another sarcastic blogger who loves to comment about how awful and overpriced the dolls are. Sigh.

    Click on my name!

  9. Madeline on October 14th, 2009 4:13 pm

    This is very nice!

    I cant wait for my birthday! Saturday!!! :D

  10. Brittany on October 14th, 2009 5:14 pm

    Cool (:

  11. Anne on October 14th, 2009 9:56 pm

    I agree, Lily, but couldn’t seem to put my thoughts into words. You said exactly what I was thinking!

    Wow – you’ve got a lot of awesome items listed! I hope they all sell well and bring you loads of $$!

    And, how did your PSAT’s go? You took it today, right?

    Happy early birthday, Madeline! You are so lucky – I always wanted a fall birthday (or I have wanted it for a long time, anyway). Fall is my favorite season by far. My dad and brother have fall birthdays and my mom and I have summer ones. My birthday is the only one out of the four of us (and our bird, we think – we got her in late November ‘03 when she was a few months old so we are guessing she was born in the second half of the year) that is in the first half of the year. It is just barley in that half. I’m the different one when it comes to birthdays in my house! :) .

  12. brighteyes64 on October 14th, 2009 11:16 pm

    happy early birthday madeline!

  13. Madeline on October 15th, 2009 3:06 pm

    That’s is cool, Anne! Thank you guys for the early birthday happies!

    Have you guys heard of the cereals Boo Berry and Franken Berry? They are halloween cereals and we got them for a very special occasion! MmMmMmMM! I also now have a full pumpkin halloween outfit for a doll, so if I do get one for my b-day, she will be a pumpkin. :)

  14. Holly on October 15th, 2009 3:54 pm

    Cool Madeline! Any dolls you are hoping for?

  15. Anne on October 15th, 2009 4:12 pm

    Do you know of anything you are getting, or will everything be a surprise?

    My brother turns 11 November 26th. Are you in fifth grade like he is, Madeline? He missed the cutoff by a mile.

  16. Anne on October 15th, 2009 4:12 pm

    And no, I haven’t heard of those cereals.

  17. Bubbles on October 15th, 2009 5:46 pm

    Hey Madeline! I just got some Boo Berry from Grammy last week!

  18. Madeline on October 15th, 2009 6:47 pm

    I haven’t seen anything at all, but here are some facts I have trailed upon:
    1. I know I am getting something from ALOF (A LIfe Of Faith) because I saw my mom order from it. I also saw the box come in. Although I have no clue what it is.
    2. I want Elsie Dinsmore for my B-day, and since my mom and I have been reading Elsie books, we have really loved her and she even wants me to have her.
    3. Life OF Faith went out of business on September 30, BUT at our retail store we have a big collection of the clothes and books, but very few dolls (only Elsie and Millie left)
    4. I’ve started sewing, and the sewing teacher has given me a list of stuff I will need to make up my sewing kit.
    5. My mom told me that I was getting a book as a part of my present.
    6. When I tell my friends what I want, I say, “Anything arts of craft or anything that fits American Girl like at target or something”

    So I am not sure what I am getting, but when I ask for something I want for my Birthday as the “big gift”, it is usually ending up my big gift unless it was impossible to get. That’s why I am worried about Elsie and her going out of business.

    BIRTHDAY FUN FACT: I got my Addy 3 days early for my birthday 2 years ago!

  19. Gracie on October 15th, 2009 8:39 pm

    My birthday is in the winter even though I utterly hate winter. Summer is awsome.

  20. Anne on October 15th, 2009 9:24 pm

    I hope you get your Elise doll for your birthday!

    I am getting Addy for my birthday next year.

    Gracie, I love winter! It’s my second favorite season, after Fall, of course!

  21. Gracie on October 15th, 2009 9:39 pm

    I just don’t like the cold. It’s always rainy in Fall and Winter here.

  22. Lily on October 15th, 2009 9:52 pm

    I can’t stand summer after this past one. Running outside has been absolutely disgusting all summer and even now. It’s always extremely humid and hot. I hate it and I cannot wait for winter (or even regular fall) weather. When I’m on my own, I’m going to go live somewhere that has nice weather year-round. I feel like I’m living in a swamp. Well, there are alligators in a bayou nearby …

  23. Lily on October 15th, 2009 9:52 pm

    And remember to click on my name!!! :D

  24. Ava on October 15th, 2009 11:10 pm

    Why does Marisol cost less than Nikki,Lily? Marisol is older.

  25. Holly on October 16th, 2009 1:41 pm

    Ava, I believe it’s because Nicki is in better shape than Marisol.

  26. Lily on October 16th, 2009 3:46 pm

    Nicki dolls are just worth more than Marisol dolls. For comparison’s sake, Marisol sold out in mid-December 2005 and Nicki sold out in November 2007. Fewer people were able to buy Nicki in time for Christmas.

  27. Lena on October 16th, 2009 4:28 pm

    Don’t get her wrong, both Nicki and Marisol sell very well (they were the two most popular GOTYs), and apart from Lindsey, both fetch high prices.

    NIB Marisol goes for about $180
    NIB Nicki goes for about $185

  28. Anne on October 16th, 2009 5:40 pm

    It’s 46 degrees here with wind and rain. So pretty chilly! I love fall and winter here (not to brag!!!). And this summer was great here. Not as hot and humid at all. We are actually using heat this winter – my mom says she’s too old to freeze another winter! :) .

    I have been thinking of buying a really popular GOTY in a few years, keeping her in the box for 6 years or so, and then selling her. There are certain concerns I have with doing that, so I’ll just wait it out and see what I think in a few years.

  29. Anne on October 16th, 2009 5:41 pm

    But yuck, I hate running outside in the summer period. I sympathize with you, Lily, being that you have done it much more than I have and your summers sound far worse than mine.

  30. Madeline on October 16th, 2009 7:52 pm

    Give me an E!
    Give me an L!
    Give me an S!
    Give me an I !
    Give me and E!

    YEAH I GOT ELSIE DINSMORE!!!!!! My parents let me open their presents this night because I would be getting a lot of things from my friends tomorrow! I got her and 4 outfits for my dolls! I can’t wait till my birthday tomorrow! :) :) :)

  31. Lily on October 16th, 2009 9:15 pm

    I think because Marisol sold out so soon AG made too many Jess dolls. Since they made too many Jess dolls, they didn’t make enough Nicki dolls. Since they didn’t make enough Nicki dolls, they made just the right amount of Mia dolls.

    I will be adding NIB Samantha and Nellie to my items for sale very soon along with Molly’s trunk, a PM Felicity, and a JLY. Tonight I added a best offer to some of my items and lowered a few prices.

  32. AG3 on October 16th, 2009 9:46 pm

    anyone on?

  33. Georgia on October 17th, 2009 2:59 am

    That’s awesome Madeline! i wish i could have gotten Elsie (or any alof for that matter) before ALOF went out of buisness. Oh well. maybe i’ll buy one off ebay. Anyway, have a great day tomorrow or is it today now? hmm :)

  34. Madeline on October 17th, 2009 9:21 am

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! :D

  35. Madeline on October 17th, 2009 12:23 pm

    I have been getting calls and e-mails todays saying, Happy Birthday!!! Oh I can’t wait till the party!

  36. Linda Marie on October 17th, 2009 12:52 pm

    Happy Birthday Madeline! It’s great you got Elsie! :D

  37. pioneerfan04 on October 17th, 2009 2:10 pm

    Happy Birthday Madeline! How wonderful that you got Elsie! I read your blog, and I’m happy for both you and Kathleen.

    I like the ALOF dolls, but my local Christian store only has the books. :( eBay doesn’t have ANY of the dolls either.

    Guess what??? I got my first Girls of Many Lands doll YESTERDAY!!!!!!! Yay! It’s Isabel, and she’s in great condition (not trying to brag)!!!!!!!!! I found her for a remarkably low price (again, not trying to brag), so I got her!!!!! She didn’t come with the book, though, but I can get it another time. :D

  38. Sara on October 17th, 2009 3:34 pm

    Oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADELINE!!!!!

  39. Sara on October 17th, 2009 3:39 pm

    Yay 4 u pioneerfan!!! O, I wanted to tell u that we had our Civil War Day Monday and I looked like a pioneer more than anything! (I was a Northern lady) Oh, and one of the boys in my class, he put a bonnet on!!

  40. Rachel on October 17th, 2009 3:49 pm

    Gracie, my b-day is in the winter too. We don’t get pool parties, but sledding is fun! What month is your birthday anyways?

  41. Rachel on October 17th, 2009 3:51 pm

    Ooh yay I have a halloween party coming up on the 24th at my friend Amanda’s house. I cannot wait! I have to dress up- I think I will be a bunch of blueberries- dressed in all blue with blue balloons taped all over me. What do you think?

  42. sunbeemz on October 17th, 2009 7:13 pm

    Happy birthday!

  43. Keanna on October 17th, 2009 9:04 pm

    I’m getting Marisol for Christmas!

  44. Holly on October 18th, 2009 9:03 am

    Awesome Keanna!!! How are you finding one? Like on Ebay or what?

  45. Madeline on October 18th, 2009 9:46 am

    Thank you everyone! It’s hard to believe my birthday is over now!!!

  46. Madeline on October 18th, 2009 9:47 am

    Oh well, only 364 days ;)

  47. Keanna on October 18th, 2009 11:51 am

    Cant wait till Xmas:D!!!

  48. Brittany on October 18th, 2009 1:40 pm

    Happy belated birthday Madeline! (:

    I went to the NYC store in April…it was heavenly, lol (:

  49. Gracie on October 18th, 2009 8:11 pm

    My b-day is in February.It doesn’t snow where I live but sometimes it is only70 or 80 degrees but one year it frosted a few days before my birthday.I have only seen snow 4,5or 6 times.

  50. Gracie on October 18th, 2009 8:39 pm

    My sister’s name is Elsie!

  51. Gracie on October 18th, 2009 8:55 pm

    I’ve never been to New York but I want to see it a lot.

  52. Gracie on October 18th, 2009 8:58 pm

    I’ve never been to New York but I want to see it a lot.Have any of you heard the Tiny Tin Hearts? They’re a band.

  53. brighteyes64 on October 18th, 2009 9:40 pm

    i got those cereals yesterday at target.i mixed them both together this morning and they were good.

  54. Gracie on October 18th, 2009 10:23 pm

    Cool.Tiny Tin Hearts rules! They are the best band ever besides the Beatles. Did they taste good?

  55. Sara on October 18th, 2009 10:38 pm

    Char why can’t I see my last comment?

  56. Sara on October 18th, 2009 10:39 pm

    Ok, that one showed up! That’s weird!

  57. Keanna on October 19th, 2009 12:27 pm

    OMG! AG trademarked 3 names for the GOTY 2010. Its Emeline, Marie-Grace, and Laurette:D

  58. Madeline on October 19th, 2009 2:16 pm

    Where did you see that and what does it mean, Keanna? Are those the possible names? I like Emeline!

  59. Brittany on October 19th, 2009 2:23 pm

    It means that they are possible names for GOTY 2010. There’s been other supposed trademarked names however, and they never came about. I like Marie-Grace…I can’t picture any of those names for a GOTY though…most of the GOTY names are modern; Mia, Jess, Nicki, etc.

  60. Lena on October 19th, 2009 3:08 pm

    Their trademarks match those of GOTYs, and not Historicals, unfotunatly. And they aren’t anything new. They were filed in February.

  61. Lena on October 19th, 2009 3:11 pm

    BTW, its not stated weather those trademarks are for a GOTY or Historical, it just looks more like they are for a GOTY.

  62. Lily on October 19th, 2009 3:40 pm

    Really, we need some info about the next GOTY soon. It’s been too long since we’ve had a new doll to get excited about.

  63. pioneerfan04 on October 19th, 2009 6:04 pm

    Lily, I agree. It’s all ready mid-October and we still aren’t for sure about anything. :(

    Sara– Ohhhh, your Civil War day sounds A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I get to do something like that, I would love to dress up like a pioneer. That’s funny how a boy in your class wore a bonnet! :D

    I dressed Ruthie up as a pink princess. I put clips in her hair with pink gems and put Rebecca’s movie dress on her. And, I realized I have a mini AG B&B tote for dolls that’s pink that can be used for a trick-or-treat bag! I’ll send in a pic for the Halloween parade soon. Maybe this weekend. :D

  64. Gracie on October 19th, 2009 6:27 pm

    My friend and I are going to dress our dolls up as princesses from different lands.She’s REALLY into mid-evil stuff like that

  65. Madeline on October 19th, 2009 7:10 pm

    Ok, how did you hear they trademarked it? Where?

  66. Lily on October 19th, 2009 10:06 pm

    Mid-evil. Nice.

    Actually, it’s medievel. To be fair, it’s easy to spell that wrong. And I like that stuff too. I want to take AP European History my senior year.

  67. Lena on October 20th, 2009 6:54 am

    Haha, Lily, it’s Medieval.

    I found the names on the US Trademarks site, along with many doll forums.

  68. Abby on October 20th, 2009 11:49 am

    Hey guys. sigh. my grandpa just passed away last night at 9:20.

  69. Abby on October 20th, 2009 11:49 am

  71. Sara on October 20th, 2009 3:41 pm

  73. Keanna on October 20th, 2009 4:19 pm

    Idk, I just kept hearing those were gonna be the names. Yeah ur right Lena it looks like its for a GOTY. I really want to see a picture of her!

  74. Keanna on October 20th, 2009 4:25 pm

    And I’m so sorry Abby:(

  75. Anne on October 21st, 2009 1:46 pm

    Cool video, Sara! Very funny! Made me smile. I’m not into Twilight but I remember Rob from HP.

    Sorry to hear that, Abby. Double bad luck. I hope you are feeling better now.

  76. Madeline on October 21st, 2009 2:36 pm

    Are you ok, Abbey? I’m sorry. Guys, my website is not getting visitors as much as it was. uh. Will you guys please go on and post at least ONE comment. Anything from simply “Cool!” or a long, drawn out message. Please, oh please!

  77. Rachel on October 21st, 2009 3:09 pm

    I go to the New York American Girl Place twice a year. In June, with the gift cards I get for my birthday, and in December with the gift cards I get for hanukkah. When I go in December, I’ll take a lot of pictures and I’ll email them. Bye!

  78. sunbeemz on October 21st, 2009 4:23 pm

    That is cool you get to go twice a year. I don’t even really get to go once a year! lol…

  79. Sara on October 21st, 2009 4:52 pm

    Ok, have any of u seen the new video from New Moon? I’m sry, but when I watched it, I just started laughing. But I don’t kno why!

  80. Brittany on October 21st, 2009 5:53 pm

    I’m sorry Abby! I know what that’s like. (: Click my name for a hug! (:

  81. priscilla on October 21st, 2009 8:55 pm

    hey abby sorry about ur grandpa!! & i hope ur sore throat gets better,i hav a flu too!! :(

  82. priscilla on October 21st, 2009 8:56 pm

  83. priscilla on October 21st, 2009 9:04 pm

    Hi madeline, i commented on ur blog!! :)

  84. Gracie on October 21st, 2009 9:50 pm

    Abby that is very sad about your Grandfather! I never met either of them

  85. Gracie on October 21st, 2009 9:51 pm

    My grandfathers.

  86. Sara on October 21st, 2009 9:53 pm

    Ya it seems so many kids in my skool r sick!!!! 3 kids were missing from my class! And my History teacher!

  87. Lena on October 22nd, 2009 7:25 am

    2 little girls in my dance class are missing, and its likley the N1H1 flu. No one from taekwondo.

    Sara, I did actually watch the New Moon promo. It looks a lot better than Twilight, but I can’t get over the bad acting and cheesey lines. So I won’t be seeing it until its on DVD, just to get a laugh.

  88. Sara on October 22nd, 2009 3:46 pm

    The vid I was talking bout was the most recent one released. When Jacob and Paul transform. I just started laughing. But one thing I have to say Go Bella!!!!!!! :D

  89. Anne on October 22nd, 2009 4:19 pm

    Does anyone know why Felicity’s summer dress is so expensive on ebay? I mean it was around for so long and only recently retired, so I would not expect them to be listed for that much. I am lucky I got mine (dress and sash only) for $30-something. I was just checking out some things on ebay when I came across that. And I was really surprised!

  90. Lily on October 22nd, 2009 4:40 pm

    Lena, it’s the H1N1 flu, not the N1H1.

    Yeah, I don’t really know why her summer dress is going for so much. But I am sure glad it is. Here’s what I sold the pieces for in late August …

    sash $28
    lace cap $22.49
    slippers $21.21
    straw hat $29

    I was pleasantly surprised. It was worth more seperately than together.

  91. Anne on October 22nd, 2009 6:07 pm

    Really? That’s interesting. You got a lot of money from that one! I got mine in early June so it would be here for my birthday in late June.

  92. Anne on October 22nd, 2009 6:09 pm

    Lily, I see that Nicki and Marisol sold. How much did they go for?

  93. Lena on October 22nd, 2009 6:54 pm

    Its called a typo Lily.

    Retired Historical things tend to go for a lot on ebay, doesnt matter whos it is.

  94. Lena on October 22nd, 2009 6:56 pm

    And Sara, it was the promo most recently released. And I just didn’t like Bella in general, so yeah….

  95. Gracie on October 22nd, 2009 7:24 pm

    A few weeks ago one class had seven kids out and in another 5 or 6 on the same day but most of the time people in my school are never out sick often. : )

  96. dollsandmoredolls on October 22nd, 2009 7:39 pm

    American Girl Place NY seems really pretty. I have been to AG Place LA four times. I really like it! The Rebecca displays ARE awesome… her furniture is so neat!

  97. Anne on October 22nd, 2009 8:35 pm

    But, given how recently they stopped production of that dress and how long it has been around (meaning that there are many of them), I would think that the prices would be significantly lower. I mean, look at her birthday/Spring dress.

  98. Anne on October 22nd, 2009 9:53 pm

    Hey, Kirsten’s school dress has sold out!

  99. Lily on October 22nd, 2009 10:07 pm

    Nooo! I never bought Kirsten’s outfits and I so don’t want to pay eBay prices.

    Nicki went for $150 and Marisol $112.50 … same buyer. That made finding a box to ship them in easier. I brought a box home from school on the bus that was the perfect size. Otherwise, I would have had to use an enormous box that would’ve exhausted my supply of fill-air bags and packing chips.

  100. Lily on October 22nd, 2009 10:11 pm

    Many things are a mystery. Like why on earth any of Samantha’s outfits ever went for $236. I forget which one. It was either lawn party or bird watching. I’d LOVE to get my hands on one of those NIB. Actually, I found an ad for one a few weeks ago (but it was already sold). The person was also selling Samantha and Nellie NIB for $65 apiece. Someone had already picked them up less than an hour after they were listed. I can’t believe that the seller didn’t clue in and realize that her dolls were worth triple and quadruple that amount.

  101. Lily on October 22nd, 2009 10:12 pm

    Also … I will be listing a ton more stuff this weekend. PM Felicity, Molly’s trunk, various outfits. Remember, clickee on name.

  102. Anne on October 22nd, 2009 10:42 pm

    Keep an eye on the school dress, then. Some of Samantha and Nellie’s items were listed as “sold out” only to be available a few days later. The same thing might happen this time. I hope it does!

  103. Gracie on October 23rd, 2009 10:11 pm

    My best friend has Kirsten and her school dress but when she got Kirsten when she was little she cut her hair short.

  104. Madeline on October 24th, 2009 8:17 am

    Gracie, I got Molly when I was eight. I was very dumb when I got the scissors out because you see, I wanted her to have LAYERS. Mainly I wanted pin curls like Felicity and Elizabeth to be on her. It’s not HORRIBLE, but sooner or later she is going to need a new wig. Do any of you know how to find American Girl brand Molly (or brown-haired JLY) wigs???? I know Sarah who is stephenswodancer (i think) got a new brand Kit wig but I am not sure how.

    So, I got my ketchup costume yesterday! So cool! Of corse, I will have to wear a shirt and leggings under neath it, but it’s nice! It is like a red gown that says “ketchup!” on it and then a hat that’s supposed to be the lid. :)

  105. Lena on October 24th, 2009 12:21 pm

    Well, some people customize with Molly’s and have spare wigs, or you could buy the kemper “plaits” wig in brown, that look like Molly’s. The AG hospital will replace the entire head for $40, but I’m not sue if you want to do that.

  106. Lena on October 24th, 2009 12:22 pm

    Also…. because I have to brag to someone….. I passed by blue belt test today!!!

  107. Lily on October 24th, 2009 12:35 pm

    There is also the Monique “slumber” wig in whatever color of brown you want. The hair is super long though, so you’d need to trim it to look like Molly’s.

  108. Holly on October 24th, 2009 2:55 pm

    Wow!! Congrats Lena. I won’t get to test for my senior green because I’m gettin knee surgery November 23rd, and testing is like in early December. But I did get my sparring gear… :)

  109. Kelly Lynn on October 24th, 2009 3:15 pm

    Hey!!! I love reading Chrissa’s diary entries on fun for girls. Who knows what day they are published on to the website?

  110. Madeline on October 24th, 2009 5:44 pm

    Thanks for the info, people. Lena, that’s super great about the blue belt! Do you actually know where the customizing people put their Molly wigs or something like that? I don’t want to send my Molly for $40 because… she is not pleasant company edition but she does have pleasant company on her neck and she is like my first doll and nothing else is wrong with her head… and anyway that’s too much money! It’s so weird why they can’t do re-wigging. I ask them once if they could and they told me “the dolls have super-strong glue that doesn’t come off”

  111. Lena on October 24th, 2009 7:57 pm

    Yeah….. no they don’t. They lied about the glue. Its pretty easy to peel off most doll wigs. You would have to meet one and ask them. But I think the kemper wig I suggested would be the best one. I’ve seen a few Kirsten & Molly’s, the wigs look very much alike. BTW, the kemper wig is less that $20, I’m too lazy to check right now.

    And thank you. I have now joined the ranks of the higher belts. I now have to do jumping every-kick. whoohoo :roll:

  112. Holly on October 24th, 2009 8:23 pm

    The only jumps kicks I have to do are: jump front kick, jump round kick, jump hook kick, and a jump spin cresent kick. That’s only is Master Allman is there…

  113. Madeline on October 24th, 2009 8:30 pm

    Ok! Kemper wigs are made of what? Well I guess I can look later. And how do you do that smiley :) with spinning eyes?

  114. Lily on October 24th, 2009 8:59 pm

    : roll :

    Kemper wigs are made from different things. Some are modacrylic and others are synthetic mohair or mohair. It depends on the wig.

  116. Sara on October 24th, 2009 10:22 pm

  117. Madison on October 24th, 2009 11:32 pm

    Hi!

  118. sunbeemz on October 25th, 2009 12:07 am

    Omg! I’m going to look like a total nerd! I’m getting new glasses on nov.3 and braces sometime in dec.! But whatever at least my teeth will be looking nice before I’m a teenager yay! and the new catalogue looks pretty cool.

  119. Lena on October 25th, 2009 6:44 am

    There is absolutly nothing wrong with being a nerd, dork, or geek, Sunbeemz. That, and I used to know many popular girl with both glasses and braces.

  120. Holly on October 25th, 2009 7:47 am

    There’s some really cute glasses, Sunbeemz. I have to have reading glasses, and I’m still pretty popular. People in my school thinks braces are cool, not dorky. And plus you can get the really cute colors and put in them.

  121. Keanna on October 25th, 2009 11:18 am

    Sunbeemz, it’s okay your not going to look like a geek, trust me. I have braces and hey, at least when I’m older I’ll have great teeth:)

  122. sunbeemz on October 25th, 2009 1:47 pm

    I told almost all of my friends that I’m going to be getting them and they all laughed at me. Lol.

  123. Madeline on October 25th, 2009 2:37 pm

    Subeemz, it’s totally ok. I have glasses and I am soon to get braces, and people are still friends with me. And you don’t HAVE to be poupular in school, the true friends you have will stay at your side, no matter how you look. And then YOU will have good teeth when you get older, and maybe contacts. And your eyes might even get better, My dad needed glasses for a few years I think when he was younger and now he doesn’t even have contacts or anything. He now has good eye-sight. So be happy, because God made you special, and if you are nice and friendly to people, they are sure to look at your inside, not the out.

  124. Holly on October 25th, 2009 2:59 pm

    Nicely said Madeline! Love your website btw.

    Does anyone know if the newer Millie Keith doll has shorter hair than the older one?

  130. Grace on October 27th, 2009 4:50 pm

    Hi! I’m Grace! I have about 5 AGs.

  131. Grace on October 27th, 2009 4:52 pm

    I’m going to the AG store in Boston soon!

  132. Grace on October 27th, 2009 4:53 pm

    I can’t wait until then!

  133. Grace on October 27th, 2009 4:53 pm

    I hope it won’t rain on Halloween!

  134. Keanna on October 27th, 2009 6:48 pm

    Hi Fallon! I hope you get one!

  135. Madeline on October 27th, 2009 9:02 pm

    Georgia, I’ve seen Millie Keith at my local bookstore and she seems to have really long hair. I’m not sure what you refer to as the “older one” like how old, but every Millie I see seems to have the same hair. However, I know some Millie’s come with most of her hair down and two tiny braids up front, and some others coming with a full two braids.

    I don’t know, because I know Elsie for some time had short hair, then it “grew”.

  136. Brittany on October 27th, 2009 11:20 pm

    Sunbeemz, I used to have braces and it really doesn’t matter what other people think of you! (: Braces are cool, and time will fly by until you get them off! (:

  137. pioneerfan04 on October 28th, 2009 8:03 am

    Dang, the Dolloween parade was taken down wasn’t it?

  138. Madeline on October 28th, 2009 8:34 am

    I KNOW! I mean, when are they going to have it?

  139. Lena on October 28th, 2009 12:38 pm

    Georgia, I don’t have her but I’ve seen her, and she has about mid back length hair.

    Madeline, Millie was recently revised before the company went out of business.

  140. Madeline on October 28th, 2009 1:57 pm

    Lena, yes I saw the new dresses right before the company went out of business. So I saw the clothing change, but I didn’t see anything else change? Hmm.. ;)

  141. Madeline on October 28th, 2009 2:00 pm

First we are going to stay at a nice hotel for one night then we are going to do lots of fun activities like going to the Biltmore House the next/that day! :) Can you guess what doll I’m bringing?
