Wow, that was one busy, crazy, tiring week! I am really looking forward to relaxing this weekend. As I went through my folders of my favorite sites this morning to get caught up on my reading, here are some of my favorites this week:
Emily at the The Toy Box Philosopher has THE BEST reviews on dolls – they are so detailed and brutally honest. She recently did a review of a discontinued line of 18″ dolls called EuroGirl that are similar in size to Magic Attic or Carpatina. You have to read her review to find out what about this doll is not quite right.
Liz at AmericanGirlFan did a photostory with Kit taking some outdoor photos – her effects that she used for Kit’s photos are so neat and make it look like something Kit would have actually done.
At Julie Newman’s Time Capsule – written by Sharry – the dolls are getting their school photos done – in true 1970’s style. Love it!
The Spicy’s at Doll Delight are always so fashionable! I love their piece on lace this week.
I just love the Starry Shorts Pretty Lilly made for her dolls. She always has such beautiful photography!
I hope you enjoyed this week’s picks! Did you have a favorite doll related blog post this week?
Love all of these blogs. 🙂 Thanks Char!
Nice! There aren’t very many pics this week, though. How do you send in pics for this, Char? Is it any different from the Sunday showcase?
hey Delaney, i watched your video with your name! It’s cool. Did you see my channel? How do you do the highlights in the one doll’s hair? I would love to know!
I cannot BELIEVE that doll’s wig! That is SUCH a ripoff! That’s ridiculous!
Bethany – the picks are my favorite posts from the huge list of doll blogs I follow. Some weeks I have lots of new posts to pick from and some weeks I don’t. If you have a favorite post during the week, you can always email it to me and I will consider it. Sunday Showcase is different – it the the photos readers email me during the week.
Hi Char! 🙂 Please check out my blog! http://www.livelifewithyouragdoll.blogspot.com! Thank you!
AGMarket – yours is already on my reading list 😉
Thanks Char. I remember in 5th grade when our school switched from taking an actual class photo to putting our single photos together and calling it a “class photo”. We all HATED it! (I still do) I mean, what’s the point of getting all dressed up for school pics, when all you can see is your bust? And when comparing my school pics to the one of the dolls shown above, it looks nearly identical, white curtain, “stage” and all!
Megan- Ikr!!
Speaking of retro, I love Kit’s pictures! Very authentic looking!
Does anybody know what kind of doll danny is, from the time capsule?
Anna, he is probably a an AG doll without hair with a wig on. Doll without hair is a bald doll you can get from AG BTW.
BTW, what does XD mean?
@Anna
I think Its an Our Generation Doll
Char, do you have littlehouseofamericangirl on your reading list? 🙂
Emily: Rip-off!!!!!! That doll is horrible! She looks cute, but her hair is ridiculous!
Liz: That’s adorable!
Sharry: Thats really cute!
The Spicy’s: That outfit is so cute!
Pretty Lily: Those shorts are adorable!
Cute blog! The euro girl doll is such bad quality!
The euro doll creeped me out at first. Just sayin’…
Mariah- If you look at the letters sideways, you can see that it is a huge smiley face with the eyes squeezed shut. That is what i think, anyway.
BTW, what doll is everyone talking about with her hair?!
Bethany– You have to go read The Toy Box Philosopher’s article to find out. : )
Haha, I read Emily’s post a few days ago and just about gagged when I saw that doll’s wig. That has to be the WORST doll wig I’ve ever seen. XP
Very interesting choices again this week, Char. Emily’s detailed review was fascinating, especially the wig discovery. And, Sharry, those school photos are far out, man! The dolls are all so cute in their special outfits. Kit’s photoshoot is lovely—thanks for introducing me to American Girl Fan. I like Liz’s photos and descriptions.
Thanks for featuring us char, that was so sweet! We LOVE everything else you listed here, but our favorite have to be Pretty Lillys AMAZING shorts! Hope you have a relaxing and wonderful weekend!
Cute!
awesome! fun to read!
@ Anna G. My Danny is an Our Generation custom boy doll. He was an Etsy purchase. He was repainted and rewigged to look like a cute little boy.
Yep, that Euro Doll looks like Chuckys sister. !!!!!!
love this! Hey, when are you going to start Doll Diaries Camp? My dolls are keep on bugging me about it! They are soo ready!
Camp Doll Diaries starts June 3rd
yay
I was quite shocked by Emily’s doll. I would return it at once if I was in her place!
Maybe next week…
Char, nice to have so much to catch up on after my week at the show- really enjoying your posts. The EuroGirl review is excellent, so funny too, I love the way the reviewer writes! I like the EuroGirl’s smile, skin tone, vinyl body and clothing, I think she shines next to the other dolls she’s compared with (forgiving the wig!).
