Now if we only had some scoop on what she really looks like!!
No, there are those two days a year when it gets to 32degrees. Wait, I live in FL, it’s even hotter here! It was 95degrees where I live today!
true, so true lena!! lol yea, alabama has the strangest weather(along w/ flordia) so unpredictable
No, it’s pretty predictable in central FL, especially in summer. 100 degrees until 3pm, then it drops to 90degrees, rains for an hour, then goes back to normal.
Funny, we are called the “Sunshine State”, yet we are also the “Thunderstorm Capitol of North America”
lol. thats similar 2 alabama. but 4 us, cold winters.
Haha, out winters are like one day you can wear shorts, the next you have to wear a jacket.
sometimes the same 4 us… but not always. but mainly we r huntin, and those thermals take care of everythin
We don’t even have thermals….. just thick hoodies are enough.
and dont 4get the good The Northface jacket.
Haha, or the Jack Skellington hoodie.
yep… same in alabama. well duh, there r not that far away lol. aw, the good old south.
I’m back!! it was kinda boring though. Plus overall it was a 13 hr. drive from here to gparents in AK and back. lol for one of my bdays in FL i had a pool party (Dec.11) . I liked FL so much better!!! and i’m not used to any other weather (i lived there 9 yrs. about ithink!!) and as i’ve said so many times, TX is an oven!!! At first I actually had trouble breathing here!! At least FL had moisture in the air! And rain…oh I miss rain!! I’m tring to think of all the hurricanes we had while i lived there… (I lived in Panama city and Celebration FYI) all i remember was heather (only b/c it was my ballet teachers name!) and micheal or something…
i would hate livin in texas. i love alabama, and wouldnt move 4 the world. its wonderful here. u got all the climates that u can think of in 1 state. the part i live in is many woods, and close where the only mountain in alabama is at, Mt. Cheaha
cool!! I have lots of friends in FL that are from Alabama!! I forgot where though.. this is kinda random but I drove to get my dog (we bought kinda…more like traded plane tickets!) from my BFF in Mobile!! That’s the only place I know..remember.. in Alabama!!
oh ya priscilla AK is arkansas… atleast i hope that’s the abriveation!! lol
hey did anyone hear about 1.ppl are trying to change alabama’s name!! 2. the actor from parent trap died from the skiing injury!! 3. i forgot… uggh!!
yeah,i used to live in Virginia,but,alas,i now live in bland OH!
alabama’s name will never b change. its bad enough heart of dixie was removed from the car tags. i mean come on, seriously, alabama should stay the same. did u know andrew jankson took in an orphaned indian in my home town!!! its really little. but, my backyard is full of indian artifacts. i have quite a collection. and plus, im like 50% indian… so its amazing 2 live in a town w/ my own heritage!
which just like yous look indian? i have kaya, and i want another 1 that looks indian.
HELP! I was playing outside with my Karito Kids Doll Zoe and I got something on her arm. It is not big, but I hope it won’t grow. I don’t think its mold. It might be mud. I ordered Gia from Italy and I have not received her. If you have went through this, know someone who has, or have read about it, please give me advice. I know about Twin Pines and might order some, but if possible, I kinda want a cheaper way to fix it! Thanks for advice.
Plush Queen, try using baking soda to rub it off.
Sonali is Indian.
Kaya is Native American.
That said, any JLY with medium skin and black hair.
thank u lena!!!! i like the 1 w/ the black layered hair, and almond shaped eyes.
The not!Jess? Be carefull, her hair is very thin.
it is? thank u 4 tellin me. do u have her by chance? i have heard that her hair wasnt as good quality as the others. but she is, well… beautiful. if only her eyes were a real light gray, and she would b my mini me. lol is her hair soft?
I don’t have her, I read reviews on AGPlaythings.com. You don’t have to join the forum to read them BTW.
o, ok. i might get the asian 1 w/ bangs instead. she is adorable. thnx 4 the info!!!
They are both asian, but the one with bangs is really cute. AG’s know for bad photography, and their pics really don’t do her justice. I stongly suggest her.
i might b orderin the jly thats asian this wkend!!!! woo hoo!!!!
There are 2 Asian JLY.
the 1 w/ bangs and looks the most asian(in my opinion)
Yeah, the other one has the Jess mold. I personally like the one with bangs, cause she looks like my friend Margaret (who’s Chinese) and I think Ivy should have been given #4′s mold. #4′s the Asian one, BTW.
Click my name. 1995 has most of the JLY (or American Girl Today, as it was better called back then. I don’t like Just Like You. It encourages girls to get a doll just like them, insted of a prettier one that’s different.) Anyway, 2002, 2004-06, and 2008 should have the other dolls. This is a good guide to their numbering.
PS. If they are “Just Like You” why can’t you choose what outfit they come in? I would never wear a pink dress thing like that.
ya lena,but some people would…
lena,my brother’s test was today. i’m so worried. he also might have **GULP** autism.
But not all little girls. I’m just saying, why not get to choose you’re “meet” outfit? The doll can come in the little pink hoodie, or in the ballet clothes, or in the purple jumper.
Oh, I hope he doesn’t have it! I wish him the best of luck!
Aw, i hope he doesn’t priscilla! But even if he does, he’s still human and there are plenty of successful people with autism (and dislexia!)
Please, everyone, stop saying that she’s not a Titanic doll. I sent them 1,000 names saying that every girl wanted a Titanic doll. We don’t even know what she looks like doggoneit! And anything that we assumely “know” could be wrong. So let’s keep the thought open. 1914? Yeah. I thought so. Seesh.
Ashlen Joy, I’m sorry, but she’s not a Titanic doll. The summaries are up on Amazon. She looks like she’s lived in the states for a while and she’s a Russian Jew. There weren’t a lot of Russians on the Titanic.
dumba dum!! that was random!!
Buona Notte!
I’m gonna go read my book!
where abouts on amazon are the summaries?
Sorry, I was wrong, but google “Rebecca book sumaries” and it’ll come up because SOMEONE crossposted again.
Ashlen,you are right,there could be a titanic doll,but the summaries are already made,i’m sorry. Also,my brother took a test and he has a disease called autism.i’m quite upset over it. my aunt might give me the AG oufit she got 4 me awhile ago frm AG place nyc today! if she does,i’l tell you!
I’m sorry! But look on the bright side, my uncle has autism and he grew up to be an engineer! That’s the guy who’s in charge of large construction projects, and he makes a lot of money. I’m saying your brother can still grow up to be something great, so don’t give up hope!
dito what lena said priscilla!!! One of my FL BFFs has a dad who has autism, and he’s a surgeon!!! It doesn’t matter he has autism, he can still be great!! He’s the same brother you’ve always had!!
it will b ok priscilla. ill keep ur brother in my prayers. i have a friend that has a mild case of austism, and she does fine. he will b fine. its not that bad of a disorder anyhow. it could always b worse. just think he doesnt have disabilties, he has abilties that not a lot of ppl have.
thank you,lena,selena,and holly! thank you so much! well,he is ok,i think. and um,i’d like to quit talking about it,please. well,um,geuss what? my grandma says she’ll buy me something from american girl! so i’ll ask 4 a doll! do you think i should get ruthie,sonali,chrissa,gwen,or kirsten?
Sonali or Kirsten!
Sonali’s really pretty and has that unique face mold, but I love my Kirsten, she’s so pretty with those bright blue eyes…..
Plus, I’m a sucker for historicals.
Sonali or Kirsten!
i definately say kirsten. she is an amazing doll!!! i so recomend her!! i have her, and her hair is absolutely beautiful! and her eyes r stunning!!
I say Gwen…. I’m getting her at American Girl Place NYC…..
I think she’s adorable…. HER NEW LOOK IS AWESOME!!!!
