Doll Diaries Halloween Parade

dolloween
It is time for the 2009 edition of our Dolloween Parade! Get your American Girl dolls, Build a Bear friends, Barbie, and all your other dolls decked out for Halloween and take their picture. All dolls are welcome to enter (no pictures of humans though!)

Rules:

  • You many enter as many photos as you wish, however, they must be Halloween related.
  • They must be your own personal photos.
  • If you are under 14 you must have permission from your parents.
  • Photos will be moderated and I have the right to remove any photos that are not appropriate.
  • Once you upload your photo, leave a comment in the comment box telling us which photo is yours.

We will be awarding prizes for the most creative entries. I have 2 sets of RETIRED American Girl Doll Club red espadrille shoes for dolls that will be used as prizes – that means there will be two winners.

Add your photo to the parade by selecting the “Add Photo” button below. Then put the caption for your photo and your name in the caption box.

UPDATED!! The winners are Hannah (Super Coconut) and Marjorie (for submitting so many great pictures!) – I have emailed you both.

    At a minimum I have a few pairs of the retired American Girl Club Espadrilles for dolls that I can use as prizes.

    If you participate and don’t want to win, just drop me a note and I’ll redraw if your name comes up.

  23. alexis on October 11th, 2009 8:40 am

    Yay my pic was posted!

  24. may on October 11th, 2009 4:52 pm

    I keep telling my mom i want a just like you doll, but she keeps telling me to get a my twinn doll. I don’t want one!!! I think i would cry if she bought me one, (this is my opinion) i think they are really ugly.

  25. Holly on October 11th, 2009 7:10 pm

    I’m making a few more costumes. A couple of my dolls and my 1 webkinz will be in the picture.

  26. Lily on October 11th, 2009 9:46 pm

    Too busy … yawn.

  27. Audra on October 11th, 2009 11:07 pm

    Just submitted a photo. May send more, I’m not sure I’m tired too (grin).
    Hope you likee!

    I went on AG website, and Felicity’s doll is gone!! I was shocked, as Elizabeth’s Charlotte is still there. Molly’s nightstand necessities are also gone, so Kit is the only one left with some. I guess they won’t even bother making it for Rebecca or Julie. Pity, I was looking forward to Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and Little House books in miniature.

  28. ag doll lover on October 12th, 2009 12:14 pm

    cool! do u guys know they r archiving Kirsten?! i was so happy she was gunna be archived!

  29. Bubbles on October 12th, 2009 4:46 pm

    OMG! katherine, that’s adorable!

  30. Bubbles on October 12th, 2009 4:49 pm

    Umm… ag doll lover, there’s been a post about it for who knows how long, and it says on the website. Plus that’s kinda mean, people love Kirsten alot! So please keep those comments to yourself.

  31. Chloe Blogger on October 12th, 2009 5:02 pm

    I’m doing the same thing on my blog! Be sure to send me your pictures too! There are more details on my blog.

  32. Gracie on October 12th, 2009 7:30 pm

  35. Lily on October 12th, 2009 8:53 pm

    To ag doll lover, alexis, and all other My Twinn bashers,

    My Twinn dolls are not all creepy. Granted, the newer ones can be unattractive. They have awful photography too. But really, they are wonderful dolls. I have six of them and I love having them around. It is so much fun to play with the face molds, skin tones, hair and eye colors. They’re so big and fun to dress. There is just so much more room for creativity than American Girls.

    Let’s just not bash any dolls, because you never know who happens to love them. At least use more tactful wording than “ugly” and “creepy”. And Kirsten used to have a wonderful collection. American Girl stripped hers down to nothing. I am kind of glad she is being put out of her misery and I look foward to seeing a new historical character.

    Now, I need to finish my Chemistry homework (electron configuration, anyone?) and go to bed so I don’t feel like I was hit by a bus tomorrow morning.

  36. alexis on October 13th, 2009 9:08 am

    ok well sorry Lily but I still don’t like my twinn dolls and I dont own one but i ordered one for my friend and I opened it to see what it looked like because my mom said I could get one if i wanted but when I saw it I was like no way! but thats my opinion also I am not very happy they are retiring Kirsten so I guess we have opposite opinions :-)

  37. alexis on October 13th, 2009 10:05 am

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! go to the americangitl website everything is different!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  38. alexis on October 13th, 2009 10:06 am

    OMG!!!! GO TO THE AMERICANGIRL WEBSITE EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  39. alexis on October 13th, 2009 10:07 am

    huurry!!!!!!!

  40. Lily on October 13th, 2009 3:51 pm

    See, that’s a much nicer way to explain why you don’t like My Twinn dolls. The older dolls (pre 2003) are much, much nicer.

  41. Lily on October 13th, 2009 3:51 pm

    I’ll submit photos of my clan for Halloween.

  42. Bubbles on October 13th, 2009 4:59 pm

    Gracie, that’s too bad. I’ve been to Cali… it’s not that great except seaworld and disneyland.

  43. Lily on October 13th, 2009 6:15 pm

    I went to California this summer. It was a great place to visit … Disneyland, Universal Studios, Hollywood homes tour, but there was a jerk at Laguna Beach. I was learning to surf and he got really mad at my instructor for “catching his waves”. It was ridiculous.

  44. Audra on October 13th, 2009 10:50 pm

    My picture is on now, but aw man, some of my dolls are only showing up half way. Hope it’s still an enjoyable pic.

  45. Ava on October 13th, 2009 11:14 pm

    l live in Northern California, in the Bay Area. l personally think it’s cool, except it gets foggy. lt may seem sunny on t.v., but believe me it isn’t.

  46. Char on October 14th, 2009 8:28 am

    Audra – click on the thumbnail images to see the entire photo – that goes for all of the pictures.

  52. Anne on October 15th, 2009 9:28 pm

    Sarah, I like Sonali best out of the three. I hope you get Kirsten, she is a lovely doll. I have Nellie, too – isn’t she such a cutie? And I love Rebecca and am planning on getting her for my birthday in 2011.

  53. Anne on October 15th, 2009 9:32 pm

    I just found out from my mom that we have what I will need to make my costumes! Yay! I am so happy we (I mean I) won’t have to buy anything! I hope to make them and send my pictures in this weekend. I also have to make my own costume, finish decorating the house for Halloween (my brother and I love doing this and make a nice house every year), and prepare for my AG Fall 2009 photo shoot…plus school and skating! Not too much, I guess, but I am feeling a little overwhelmed, as I have to finish the house, the costumes/photos for my dolls and my own costume in15 days. But now that I think about it, 15 days is plenty of time. Sorry for the rambling.

  54. alexis on October 16th, 2009 6:53 am

    sarah,
    I like Sonali best too and Ihope you do get Kirsten!

  62. Gracie on October 18th, 2009 4:51 pm

    That’s sad that your friend moved away. My best friend used to be on the other side of my block but now she lives 45 minutes away.

  63. Sara on October 18th, 2009 9:40 pm

    Sara– sorry about your BFFs moving. :’( My BFF moved away at the beginning of summer, but the worst part is I moved to a different school so I don’t have any of my other friends to turn to! :’(

  74. alexis on October 25th, 2009 1:02 pm

    And thanks for letting all of us enter this contest! It was a load of fun to create and find costumes!!! I couldn’t take a picture of all of my dolls to the lack of costumes and patience. ;)

  76. pioneerfan04 on October 27th, 2009 8:01 am

    Okay, I will try to enter mine this afternoon or Friday afternoon. Sorry for procrastinating!

  77. pioneerfan04 on October 28th, 2009 8:05 am

  78. alexis on October 31st, 2009 11:45 am
