My Twinn and American Girl Doll Photos
The My Twinn doll line is back and it still has plenty of loyal fans. One of our readers, Lily, has shared some of her My Twinn and American Girl doll photos and descriptions with us – thanks Lily!!
The doll on the far left has the Wendi face mold from the 2003 China era. She has fair skin, light blue eyes, and golden brown hair. She is wearing a hand-smocked dress that was bought on eBay for $25 that included the dress, half-slip, and pantaloons.
The doll in the middle also has the Wendi face mold from the 2008 Virginia era. She has dark brown hair, green-brown eyes, and fair skin. She is wearing a one piece jumper dress from eBay that cost $16 (including shipping). I added the hoop skirt for extra fullness.
The doll on the far right has the Audrey face mold from the 2003 China era. She has very fair skin, blue eyes, and light blond hair. She is also wearing a hand-smocked dress that I bought on eBay for $25 that included the dress, half-slip, and pantaloon.
I like the My Twinn dolls because they’re more lifelike and larger than American Girl dolls at 23″ tall. Finding handmade outfits for them is enjoyable. They’re more expensive than American Girl, but it’s fun to have a doll that looks so much like you. Guess which one is Mini-Lily!
American Girl Kit and My Twinn Audrey look like sisters in this picture. Again, it was a complete accident that they are wearing similar dresses and look so much alike. In the background is a Seymour Mann Avery doll and to the right of Kit is Molly in her birthday outfit.
Felicity and Elizabeth are posing with their My Twinn counterparts. I custom ordered the My Twinn dresses from an eBay seller who makes girl and doll dresses for AG. They were $15 apiece (not a typo!) and included the dress, hoop skirt, mob cap, and purse. I honestly didn’t intend for the dresses to match Felicity’s and Elizabeth’s; I just happened to like those fabrics.
You can find retired My Twinn dolls, clothes, furniture, accessories and custom outfits on eBay and My Twinn has a new rewards program, too. Get up to $50 in Free Goods! My Twinn The Just Like Me Doll: www.mytwinn.com/freegoods
***These photos are beautiful, Lily! Thanks for sharing them with us. If you have photos of any of your dolls and want them featured on the site, email them to share@dolldiaries.com.
i like the MT dolls
Firstie… MTs are cool, but they’re so huge compared to AGs! I prefer AGs, so I’ll stick to those. =)
those are really pretty dolls and great dresses too!
lily which one is you?
I love the colonial dresses!
This is why I love KKs and LOFs. They make good friends/sisters.
Guess!
The one in the yellow dress nest to Kit?
Mmm . . . I’m going to let more people guess first.
Yeah, I like the colonial dresses a lot. You can have them made for your KK too, Lena. I just gave the seller measurements for My Twinn and she adjusted her AG pattern.
I prefer to hand make the dresses myself, but thank you for telling me.
I was going to start making doll clothes myself, but the pedal to my sewing machine is missing and it looks like more trouble than it’s worth if I can pay someone $15 to do it for me.
cute lily! umm, is it the one next to elizabeth that looks like you?
I HAND sew, meaning the old fashion way of needle and thread, no sewing machine. It’s a pain, but I enjoy my dolly clothes when they are finished.
I tried that too when I was younger. I made dolls about the size of a crayon out of white fabric and stitched little outfits for them. I bought bundles of fabric and lace at Hobby Lobby and stitched away. It’s tedious work and I haven’t done it in five years.
I like it, but it is hard work. I like the feeling that I am sewing the way Kaya-Addy would have, for Sam-Julie, I will use the machine, but I have’t gotten to them yet.
I really prefer to sew clothes for myself, from me sized AG dresses to costumes.
Cool! I have a My Twinn doll too! Except I got one on Ebay so she doesn’t look like me. They are the most beautiful dolls, so pretty, and I love holding her because her body is very solid and posable. I dunno, they all look like Lily’s to me……
Well, Lily isn’t my real name (I wouldn’t feel comfortable since my real name is fairly uncommon). But maybe I should name the doll that looks like me Lily . . . I think she does look a Lily to me. Yep, one of those doll’s real names is Lily now!
Which of the My Twinn dolls is your favorite?
Which My Twinn outfit is your favorite?
is it the in the pink dress?
did you buy the dolls from ebay or mytwinn website?
I like the softball outfit and the kimono.
My fave of yours is the one with blackish hair.
If I was to make a MT doll of me, she’d have green/brown eyes, olive skin, golden brown, mid back hair in loose curls all over.
If I made any girl of my choice, she’d have light blue eyes, olive skin, black lower back hair, that’s very straight.
Or, dark brown eyes, brown skin, dark brown mid back hair, and african american curly wig.
Ok, I’m having too much fun with this. I’m gonna quit before I buy an MT (curse you Lily for reminding me of the cuteness! LOL)
i want one now. i’ll just buy th ag horse in a few weeks instead i guess.
will the western horse fit kk and mt dolls?
Lena, I meant which of the outfits my dolls are wearing is your favorite (I like the kimono outfit too).
Chrysanthamum, I bought two of the dolls directly from My Twinn and the third from eBay.
The blue colonial dress is my fave.
It will look a little small, but KKs should be good,.
i think my sis’s dad got her an MT 4 xmas, but she’s afraid of it (shes only 2) so i dont kno, but i’ll make her bring it ovr 1 day so i can play AGs and MT with her! heehee
yeah, I know a few people who are afraid of the My Twinn dolls. When I got my MT, I asked the lady I bought her from the history behind it and she said she got it from a garage sale and used her as a model for the doll clothes she made. She said her grandson loved the doll sooo much, when he came over to her house, he would give her lots of kisses on the doll’s cheek. Isn’t that sweet!
Lily-they’re so neat! Awesome photos! And you have all my favorite AG dolls-Felicity and Elizabeth. And the doll with short blond hair looks like Kit. And matching dresses are awesome!
when my sister and her friend slept in my room her friend said that she was scared cause i have most of my dolls on the floor in different scenes around my room. i laughed cause dolls dont scare me or any on in my family.
Dolls aren’t scary,yup. But it scares some people,because it stares at you for long time(unless she has open&close eyes and has her eyes closed then)
.
If her eye is like,paint,then it will possibly scare some people.
oops, I posted on the doll crafts thread!
NOW I like Lissie&Bitsy(OK,I’ll call Elizabeth Bitsy even though I hate it,too. Elizabeth is kind of long name,so.) instead of Jul(Short for Julie. Her real nickname is real long so I’m calling Julie a Jul)and Bitsy.
Ok, I’ve never heard of My Twinn, some1 plz give me some info!!
They’re 23″ inch dolls that you customize to look just like you by sending in a photo of yourself. You pick the skin tone, eye color, hair color, texture, style, and length. They also add things like freckles, moles, etc. The artisans pick from atleast 15 face molds for the one that looks most like you. Right now, they’re $149. I got mine for waaaaaay less than that.
23 inches, made to look like you (as in, send them a picture and they choose the mold that looks like you), that’s about all I know.
And that ther eyes are inset.
Darn beat me, Lily.
I’m still posting on the Doll Crafts thing…. maybe I should move…
Sara,they’re meant to be your twin.
Here are some facts about my Twinn.
*They are 23 inches tall.
*You can choose baby,toddler,BF doll,and actual doll.
*Actual my twinn is made by artists.
*You have to send your photo;have choices of outfits and hairstyle.
*They costs about $144.
And Char once said that items she listed are going to be retired on May 31th. But I wonder why come they aren’t still retired now.
If you type earrings in AG shop,you can find those earring collection for JLY but,one thing weird,they’re still new stuff? Even Chrissa isn’t much new now! I think AG made them last year,though.
My Twinn is expensive…’Cause Lily mentioned that prices have gone up.
And yeah,I hope AG makes choices of buying dolls,dolls&accessories without even buying books. I think AG prices have gone up;partly because of book.
I dunno about Karito Kids,Life of Faith,Carpatina,and ones that Char mentioned,plus Maplelea being expensive. All the dolls like them are used to being expensive…
OK,several reasons why Ana looks like Beckie.
*Beckie meant to have darker hair but sadly,AG made her hair into lighter color.
OK,but I have to admit if AG made her hair too dark(she’s supposed to have too dark hair),she’d almost look like Ruthie. Except mold…
*Rebecca is Ana’s cousin.
Ooops,I only came up with 2 reasons. I have to go now so bye!
sure, I’d like to know… I’d never even heard ppl use “carmine” for a color until you said it, then it was evveerryyyy where!
oh! also, that was for lena!! hehe
Selena, make a yahooy mail account and resend the confirmation email. You can do that.
AG&FAN, I;ll say this again.
Quality = Price.
my bff is saving up for rebecca (her first ag doll) but b4 she decided 2, she thot that ag was waaaay 2 expensiv, but i think it’s worth it, dont u guys? cuz shes in2 barbies, & sum barbies cost like $200.
Let’s compare?
AG: Good vinyl, wigged kanekalon hair, can pose by themselves. $100
Dolls I sell at Disney: cheap, plasticy vinyl, rooted plastic hair, can hardly stand by themselves. $50, would be $20 if not for Mickey being everywhere.
Lily, thanks for sharing these pictures! Your dolls are cute! I remember when I was little I wanted a My Twinn doll and I would always make them on the website. I never got one, though. But if I got one to look like me, it would probably have hazel eyes (brown-green), brown hair (golden or medium), mostly straight but with some waves, a few inches below shoulder (high back?), with fair skin.
Keep on guessing which one looks like me!
Thanks, Starr. I wish My Twinn still had that virtual doll creator tool on its website. I had a lot of fun with that!
I have an 1895 doll who is either 22 or 23 inches so I can imagine how big MT’S are. I remember being amused at how tall my doll is – she takes up a good portion of my height. I am 60 inches (5ft) tall and she is 23. Almost two feet tall.
OK, Lily, is it the brown-haired one in the first picture?
There are two brown-haired dolls in the first picture. The one in the middle looks like she has black hair, doesn’t she? It’s actually dark brown.
Yes she looks as if she has black hair-Lily,you are right… She does have dark brown hair. I thought she had black hair at first.
isnt there only 1 brown haired doll, the other to r blond?
One can be considered both dirty blonde and light bruntte
AG’s quality is about 90 percent to 99 percent excelent,because some people aren’t happy with their dolls. Some kids don’t like their doll,because they are NOT the kind of doll they expected-but OK,I like mine just fine.
Lily,do you have any My Twinn doll that looks like you-or are they BF doll?
My Twinn is kind of big,compared to AG.
OK,I am asking this again:Why come those products Char had mentioned aren’t retired by now? May 31st had aready passed(in fact,that was long time ago)!
Maybe…
1.They are going to be retired in June 31st,and AG would update other items at June 31st.
Most of them are retired.
AG&FAN, I think the announcement said that those outfits would be retired June 22 or 23.
Yes, one of the dolls looks like me and another looks like my sister. The third I got on eBay. None of them were purchased as “best friend” dolls, but they do serve that purpose.
Here are the dolls’ hair colors: golden brown, dark brown, and light blond
Hey guys I need your opinion on something. I can have one doll for my birthday and here’s what I have to choose from: Rebecca, Chrissa or a Just Like You. If you were in my situation, which doll would you choose? I have to know my decision by Monday so PLEASE let me know!!!!!
I can’t wait to see the new JLY outfits. My AGT dolls are wearing the AG club outfits that I got for free right now and they need new stuff. It was kind of funny. You signed up for the AG club and got “points” based on activities and quizzes you did. I just wrote random stuff like “fhfdsjjfdsjkfd” to describe my activities and took the quizzes multiple times to get points. I then exchanged them for doll outfits. Viola!
For me, it’d be none of the above. But remember that Rebecca will be here for awhile. Chrissa won’t. And JLY is nothing special. I wish I didn’t have the two I got 10 years ago.
r u going to tell us what doll u r lily?
Chloe, I’d get Rebecca.
the golden blonde/ light brunette looks a lot like me, except I have big eyes and gold(er?) hair. Other than that, she could be my twin!
i would choose rebecca. i like her clothes, her meet outfit, her time period, accessories, books,everything.
if youd dont want them have you ever tried craiglist? just an idea.
I’d never sell anything on Craigslist. To sell stuff, you have to deal with people face to face, which could be potentially dangerous. eBay is how I sell. And I’m not going to get rid of my dolls. I just invested $100 into them last year for new heads. They just need new outfits.
Yes, I will tell you guys which doll is Lily, but I want more people to guess.
ok i meant ebay, ive never had trouble with craiglist , or ebay.
i like your dolls.
i would reccomend rebecca.
i like her best.
if anyone does sell on craiglist , involve your parents.
i know i read about problems with customer service and dolls dsiapearing or not shipping from my twinn, does anyone know if that’s been resloved and if somone orders one it will be delivered?
im not quite positive ovver kk, ag, mT. im only getting one.
My Twinn has gone bankrupt twice, after the 2003 and 2008 holiday seasons. That resulted in some dolls never getting delivered both times. Some cases were resolved; others weren’t. Since My Twinn is now owned by a new company, it is safe to say that if you order a My Twinn doll, she’ll be delivered. I wouldn’t worry about it.
For me, it’d be between MT and AG. MT dolls cost $149, though. You could get an AG doll, accessories, and an outfit for that. I love both brands (obviously
)
ok, yea so this is random but carmine is sssssssssooooooooooooooooo my fav color!!
REBECCA.
oh also I was at a now 11 yr old boys bday party where we shot guns at targets. It was fun, I totally pummeled the 15 yr. old… and everyone else. What do I care? I like shooting.
lily, are you that one doll that looks alot like you?
i like how ag is histoircal, and my twinn is so cute. i also read on some other website that mt dolls cost 98 if ordered before october and are non poseable, adn the price goes up untill chrstmas, highest price reaches 169, and they are posable.
if im going to pay hat much, i want it poseable.
im getting ag or mt.
ive just learned about these doll brands not long ago. its too bad i would have loved being able to purcahse one of these type of dolls adn accessories years ago also.
what type were you selena?
Ok, Lily, I guess the one in the blue dress in the first picture is the one that looks like you.
That website is waaaaaaay outdated. They’ve not been selling non-poseables since atleast 2003.
ok. what would be the point of sellling a non poseable doll?
you can style the dolls hair right?
MT originally sold only non-poseable dolls. They were cheaper than the poseable ones. Now they’re all poseable.
Yeah, you can style the doll’s hair.
if you mean this…
I like AG better, dolls with non-closing eyes are scary (lol and all the stuff I like that’s what scares me!) so…. plus AG is (amazingly enough, AG is NOT cheap) cheaper that MT…
My Twinn dolls are more lifelike, poseable, huggable, and bigger than AG. There’s also more selection when you’re trying to get one that looks like you.
Selena, isin’t carmine a such a pretty color?
I prefer KK’s as friends (because Helena looks enough like me), but I am considering a MT I found cheap on eBay.
One of the dolls pictured above I got on eBay for $50, including shipping. And she needed no repairs or anything.
What’s this talk about “carmine”? Is it the color of Rebecca’s meet dress or something?
“Carmine” is basically crimson. I just like the name better.
Crimson has a slightly macabre connotation now since it’s always used to describe blood, which I don’t really like. Carmine sounds more elegant.
It looks like it should be pronounced “car-myne” instead of “carmen”.
Thankx to all who gave me info!!! I think I’ll stick w/ good old AG!!
And, I finally went swimming!!!!! But the water was freezing cold!!! And it never warmed up!!!
oh! rifles and bb guns (yes, bb
lol i say it like that, so why not spell it like that!?)
Crimson is a pretty name, even though it’s used to describe blood…
Mmm . . . I feel like going to Schlitterbahn now that you mention water. I love thrill rides and waterslides.
*sighs dreamily* yes, Carmine is SSSUUUUCCCCHHHH a pretty color!
Time to go do something productive. ‘Bye!
BTW, I’ve always like the name Jimmy….. amazingly slightly better than the name Carmine..
lol that was random!
Carmine rhymes with the toilette paper Charmine.
Yeah, Carmine’s much more elegant. Sounds like a royal name.
Emily or Julie?
Emily.
I don’t think I’m going to get any LOF dolls just yet. One of the dolls I was going to get is sold out right now. Maybe I’ll wait and see if I like their new meet outfits.
Besides, it’s not that often that you get to go to the AG place! I plan to take full advantage of not having to pay $30 for shipping. I’m telling you, it’s awful to live in a state where there’s an AG store 4 hours away. I hate sales tax! Scratch that, I hate all taxes!!!
i like emily
I live an hour a way from AGP LA. its really cool, I love the cafe. I say Julie, I have Emily, She is the cutest thing, but still I’d say Julie
did i tell you guys this,at this museum i went to on vacation at geneva this week, they had the real carriages that lucille ball and princess margaret rose and eizabeth rode in as babies! isn’t that cool?!
omg priscilla that IS cool! o, i wont b on from 2morrow until sat. cuz of sleepaway camp! i might b on 2morrow, it depends.
i like the ag horses.
bouna notte!
Guess what? At church, I saw a little girl holding Rebecca!!! I was really jealous cause I have wanted Beckie ever since she came out!! I can’t wait till I can get her and Sonali!!!
hi evry1! i kno i sed i might not b on 2day, but i hav sum time. wut r carpatina dolls? can sum1 plz tell me?
Lily,did you announced which doll is your twin?
And too bad for me,I’ve never even been in front of AGP. And plus,it takes TOO long to get there by car. And some people like AGP more than AG B&B,I think..
And some people “hate” dolls priced in about $100. They think it’s overpriced,and they’d rather buy dolls like Barbie,and maybe Cabbage Patch. Well,I don’t really care about price because I love those dolls,or at least usually.
Pioneerfan,they’re dolls like Maplelea/Magic Attic.
Carpatina has both girl and boy dolls.
And Carpatina dosen’t really have lot about history-maybe.
From one thing,they’re multi-cultural(Girlfriends collection).
OK,these are all I know b/c I don’t know much about Carpatina.
Okay, are you guys ready to hear which doll is my twin? Now’s the time for a few last minute guesses.
yes, b/c I’m pretty sure I was right on
ive been ready since this thread first appeared
Mini-Lily is the doll with the golden brown hair wearing the blue dresses. So who guessed correctly? (besides Selena
)
Lena guessed the blond.
Pioneerfan04 guessed the dark brown.
Ashley guessd the dark brown.
Anne guessed the golden brown
See, I knew it was you allll along!!! (winkwink
)
Time to guess which one is my sister!
wich one looks like your sister?
when you order them, and the pic has bangs, will they atomatically style it that way?
i’ll guess blond hair one
dang it I just found out my dad is making me go to a swim meet Tues. vs. a REALLY good team and I can hardly swim b/c of my sprained ankle!!! *starts muttering angrily under breath*
Guess!
Yes, they base the hairstyle on what it looks like in the photo. You can have different photos for face shape and hair, though. Just specify which is which.
Sorry, Selena. I hate it when parents force you to do something you don’t want to.
One of them is your sister! See, I’m just naturally smart!!
if you have a sprinaed ankle should you be swimming on it?
*shrug* no, but I have been.. ( I even threw up at the first meet and still had to do it. )
I’ll be back in a min… (going on buildabearville lol!)
good luck at your meet
this is sooooo cool
**Yawn** . . . it’s pretty quiet around here today. I’m sleepy. Mmm . . . can’t wait to see the new JLY outfits. My dolls are sick of their AG club clothes. Too much red and lavender. And I don’t feel like dressing them in their cheerleader and volleyball outfits.
I was just about to join the AG club when they closed it… someone told me you could even earn dolls… Is that true?
If you could’ve, I would’ve. No, you couldn’t earn dolls. You could earn doll clothes and stuff like charms and hats, etc. Other than getting the free stuff, it wasn’t any fun.
I’ve been at work all day.
You’re sister’s the blonde?
Believe it or not, my sister is the one with the dark brown hair. The blond is the one I got on eBay for $50. Her neck wobbles, but I love her features.
DING DING DING!!
I was right again!!
wassup lena?? lol I’m in a mood!
Wow. Did not see that comming.
Yo Sel!
I’m the black sheep in my family. Everyone else has dark brown hair and green/brown eyes.
wait, do you mean “wow I did not see that coming” for lily’s sis or for me? (I understand if you say me)
Lily’s sis.
Hi people! I just got back from a writing camp…. and it was awesome! did I mention…. I GOT REBECCA?!?!?!?!?! SHE IS SO CUTE!!!!!!! i GOT HER BOOK SET TOO!! YA ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also I won a bunch a shoes and Sams and Mollys bed off eBay too.
oh! ok, I wasn’t sure…
Ummm, Char whats wrong with my comments?
ok lets try this.
I’m getting Samantha’s and Molly’s bed
tomorrow is my first day of girl scouts!
I think this works.
Abby – you are posting comments too fast so the software is sending a bunch of them to be moderated. Slow down and breathe a bit and they should be fine.
Guess what!! It’s Edward Anthony Masen Cullen’s 108th birthday!!!!!!! Happy Birthday Edward!!!!!
Too much Twilight.
Ok, sorry. and you guys no what else? I won Samatha and Nellie of eBay about an hour ago!!!! I can’t wait till they come!
How do you know..his… name is EAMC ????
Sorry to say, MyTwinn dolls scare me alot.
Lily,I think your sis might be the blond one,b/c she looks like you.
But since sisters can look different,I’d rather choose one with dark brown hair.
So I think dark brown hair one is your mini sis.
My Twinn dolls are scary and cute at same time to me. I like the dolls that has eyes that can be closed more,though.
And who knows if Carpatina,Maplela,Karito Kids and Life of Faith has eyes that can be closed?
Ooops,Lily,you wrote about who is your sister already! OK,I think I know who the sister was b/c dark brown one has real sister looking.
ooooh, Lily ur MY TWIN!!! I look sooo much like that doll, cept my hair is more goldy and i have big eyes (like i said before). Thats so cool!
Happy birthday edward cullen, lol. wow u look sooo good for 108 years old, gee u almost look 17…… and how did u know its his birthday?
hey! Don’t look at me! I don’t know! ya, heck, he almost looks 16!
actually, let me rephrase that,
“heck, he almost looks like a marble statue 16 yr. old!”
bouna notte!!
I’m going to tryyyy and make up for the 9 hrs. of sleep I didn’t get last night..
Well, Edward Anthony Masen was his human name. And I just read that it was his b-day on Twilight Lexicon!
Karito Kid’s and Life of Faith’s don’t have closing eyes.
Carpatina’s do have closing eyes, as do Maplea’s
I finally figured out how to let everyone (even those who have no LJ) comment on Mezza Morta. Everything from the 100Q up is now open to all comments.
I have a list started on what I’m going to get at the AG place:
Julie doll, book, and accessories
Emily doll, book, and accessories
Emily’s swimsuit
Molly’s swimsuit
Julie’s b-day outfit
Kirsten’s b-day outfit
Ugh, I may have to do without on some of that stuff. With AG prices raising so fast, it’s hard to buy more than a couple things without breaking the bank. Also, if I want to buy my LOF dolls, the amount of AG stuff I get will go waaaaay down.
It’s going to stink if I have to choose between Emily and Julie so I can get the LOF dolls.
lena- how posable are kk? and which 1 is the best to buy?
I never went to girl scouts. tired from yesterday.
Dang it! LOF charges sales tax to my state!
LoF charges tax to every state, as they are sold in every state in stores.
They are more posable than AG’s, because their heads can move. Other than that, they are the same. I’d get Pita, as i liked her story the best.
Be happy Ag’s still cheap. Yeah, i said it. In 1986, when the company started, a doll cost $84, yes? Now adjust for inflation and they SHOULD now cost $165.
another question lena- can kk wear my twinn clothes?
They’ll be a little long on them, because they are two inches shorter, but if that doesn’t bother you, then they should be fine. I’m not certain about shoes though.
They’ll be a little long on them, because they are two inches shorter, but if that doesn’t bother you, then they should be fine
Those internet inflation calculators aren’t always representative of price increases in products. And no, dolls didn’t cost $84 when the company started. They were $82 in 1993.
I wouldn’t mind the price spikes as much if AG didn’t heap on the sales tax since there’s a store 4 hours away from my house!
My bad.
Those weren’t done by internet calucators. They were done by hand based on average inflation.
I think that “if-a-store-has-physical-prescense-in-a-state-they-have-to-charge-sales-tax-to-everyone-in-that-state” rule is dumb.
The dolls were made in Germany in the beginning, where production costs are higher than China.
Government policy, not AG.
And Mattel’s greedy. What else do you exect of a corporaton?
Mmm . . . keep prices pretty consistent for 20 years, then BAM! Doll outfits are now $30 apiece!
Which is why I’m about to sell a bunch of old stuff on eBay. And I’m selling my copy of the Sims 3 to a friend.
No one’s stoping you. I’m gonna sell my own Nali on eBay come 2010, make a profit.
Hah, I may buy one of the 2009 dolls at the AG place, wait until a few days before Christmas when they’re sold out, then turn a profit.
It’s kind of funny, actually. Every year a bunch of idiots wait until the GOTY doll is sold out at AG then flock to eBay to pay $200 for her.
I know! And there are GOTY’S for sale on ebay and amazon that are over $100 even now! Stupid people.
The only item on my immediate wish list is Kirsten’s Dirndl.
My name is a link to the page that always cracks me up!
Pretty stupid, huh?
wow that is. and those dolls are not even retired yet! i would rather buy a doll that is still in production with thier other things. i would buy some of the retired clothes for the doll. what kind of stuff are you slling on ebay?
Hey guys! I haven’t been on here in like for-ev-er! Cute dolls, Lilly! It looks like the MT could be big sisters or moms or something to the AGs! lol
Stuff for 18″ dolls (not necessarily the American Girl brand) and books. I haven’t listed anything yet.
Yesterday I had to watch my mom’s 8-year-old daughter at my house and we played with my AGs. They needed their clothes changed because they were still wearing their Easter clothes.
i had a babysitting class 9-11 (I’ve been babysitting 4 over a yr.) then had to BABYSIT 11:30-1:30 then swim team 5-7 =P
lena- which kk do you have? im really wanting 1, just havent fully decided on which one yet. the only 1 i dont really want is lulu bcaz of her hair. shes really cute, but i want a doll were i can style their hair.
What are kks?
Kk stands for Karito Kids.
Sorry, I was at tae kwon do.
I have lulu, Pita, and Ling. If you want to play with hair, I’d recomend Ling, Pita, Piper, or Gia.
This thread isn’t very busy…
I’m off to print stuff out…
i think maybe ling or gia.
Oh! i should’ve known that it stood 4 karito kids! silly me! p.s.i really want piper!
I love Piper :] !!!!!
I LOVE piper too (LOL)
bouna notte!!
got my printing done…
Karito Kids look like nice dolls, but I doubt I’ll ever buy one. They’re more on the play doll end of the spectrum.
Lily, so are My Twinns.
um aren’t ag dolls “play dolls”?
yeah Piper is soooo cute and pretty!
Buona Notte, I’m off to read my book about certain creatures! Dorme Bene!
Yes, I know that AG and MT are play dolls, but AG has detailed historical outfits and I have custom clothes made for MT. They’re the brands I’m familiar with, so I don’t mind. LOF outfits are so detailed, it barely counts as a play doll for me.
I just watched Molly:an American Girl on the Home Front Movie and it was so awesome!
Maya,Tori,and all the other casts were great.
And the movie was so heartwarming! AWESOME movie! I hope AG makes more heartwarming movies like this one!
And it would be so cute if AG included Brad in the Molly movie. Brad was so cute in the books.
And these are my prediction to what happened to Emiy after Brave Emily.
*Emily has gone back to live with her aunt.(Even though,did she got out of the hospital that fast? I don’t think so)
*She went to other place in other parts of the world.
*Author forgot to write about Emily.
OK,I think the first prediction would be right,but Author should’ve mentioned that!
OK, can’t sleep (duh, it’s only 10:21 anyways) but..
lena, does that mean sleep well??? If that was right.. I’m improving! LOL
I also sketched one of the pretty pictures and, well, I have to admit i turned out pretty well!
again,
bouna notte!
(also, does sogni dulce mean sweet dreams?)
Does any1 kno if they released dolls of Mary Poppins, Bert, and Jane and Michael? I thought I saw somethin’, but IDK.
Oh, and it’s official, Jon and Kate filed 4 divorce TODAY!!!! Sry, just figured that out!!
Yeah, I know. I think we all saw something coming. I think it would be smarter to cancel the show for now or forever and focus on working out their issues off-screen, but that doesn’t seem like the J+K way to do it.
Sorry, I don’t know about that.
And it’s not possible to make clothes for KKs? They are the same as MTs. Actually, with a better message. KKs promote charity and being kind. MTs are just standins for the girl.
I didn’t like the Molly movie… deveated to much from the books.
I said “Good night….. sleep well”. “Sogni dolce” means “sweet dreams”
Nice to hear you’r improving! I drew last night and they came out near perfect.
Barbie had Marry Poppins dolls, and I think Tonner did too.
grr… choosing which kk is SO difficult!!!
ya, and it was the first time I’ve drawn lips near-perfect! And I wasn’t trying but her eyes came out, rrreeeaaaallllyyyyy well… I felt like they were staring at me! lol so pretty near-perfect too!
get pita or piper. ( I haven’t looked in a while… I just remembered liking those 2) or zoe, I think… wait, lemme go look…
I’ve seen Mary Poppins barbies, same with WOO (wizard of Oz) I always wanted that fairy…
Pita, Zoe, and Gia are my favorites.
I’ve drawn Rosabella in that style, along with some fan art of random movies/comics.
Thank you Lena and Selena!!! Did u kno that they are making Barbie Twilight dolls? I LOVE Twilight, but they shouldn’t make dolls out of them cause they are really freaky!!!
Oh, the company that makes Ellowyne has also made some Wizard of Oz dolls. They have Dorothy, Glinda, and Elphaba.
yeah, Twilight dolls might look a bit scary. Whenever they try to copy actresses and actors they turn out really freaky!!! Have u seen like the mary kate and ashley and britney spears barbies!?!?!? wow, they are very weird
Ug! Don’t remind me about Mary Kate and Ashley!! I used to luv them, but now I think my bro has a crush on them!!!! So we’re watching those vid’s all the time!!!!!!
Lena, well of course you can make custom outfits for any doll!
So, basically, you agree that if KK’s are “play dolls”, so are MTs?
Yes, but as I already said, MT is a brand I’m familiar with (same for AG). I know they’re both play dolls, but they’re exempt becuase I already have them.
I haven’t been commenting as much in the past two days. I set up a booth on Bonanzle and I’m uploading a bunch of books.
So… it’s OK to critisize dolls you don’t have?
Thanks for reminding me… I have two big boxes of old books I need to sell.
lol sara =D
I said that they’re nice dolls, just that I didn’t think I’d ever get one. You call that criticism?
im thinking about drawing a name out of a hat on which kk to get….. i think i will =)
I can only buy about 2 more dolls, so I dunno if I should get Ruthie, Emily, a JLY, or Emily, or the next GOTY.
I know, I just like using people’s own logic against them. I don’t really care if you won’t get one, I’ll probably never get an MT.
I’m getting Emily and Julie next.
I loooooove Julie in her meet outfit, and that hair . . .
lena, how soft are the kk’s hair?
Very soft. Ling and Pita have very soft hair that is perfect for styling, and Lulu has bouncy curls that look very cute with a head band.
ok. thnx!!!!
i showed them to my mom, and she loved them!! and the charity factor is great!!!
oh wait, I meant Gia.. I think…
of to swim meet (I’m dead meat) …
I like Piper with her blond hair and suntan. It’d be fun to sew outfits for her. Too bad she’s $100!
You can get them for cheaper. Costco online has them for 70$.
. . . But you have to be a Costco member.
Right now my focus is Julie and Emily. Then LOF (maybe). Chrissa, Gwen, and Sonali are out., except Chrissa’s swimsuit.
You can also get them cheap at hospitals. I got Pita for $50.
Tomorrow i go out to FCS to get Laylie & Elsie some clothes, you want me to review them?
Please do!
LOF are awesome! (too bad I don’t have one)
Hospitals? As in doll hospitals?
No, people hospitals. The gift shops sometimes have them.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! The LOF outfits aren’t on sale anymore!!!!!!
Atleast I saved myself $100.
Now they have a few nightgowns and useless stuff. Oh well, maybe they’ll have better stuff on sale next time. I really wanted Vi’s pink outfit.
I got an email that Nellie was sent in priority mail today! my moms almost 99% sure she’ll be here tomorrow. TTFN, gotta take a shower.
Jam’s on sale. I want that cause he looks more realistic than the AG cats. Also, I want Laylie and Kathleen’s nighties, so yay for me.l
I like the LOF nightgowns better than AG. Most of the AG ones are bland, white, and expensive (if you also get the robe). I like how the LOF nightgowns come with a blanket.
Well, it’s true that historically their night gowns would have been white, only the LOF rich girls (Elsie and violet) have embroidery. It was only after the 1920’s that more colorful PJs became available.
My comments aren’t submitting!
Well, now they are. But when I put the URL for my Bonanzle booth in the website box, my comments wouldn’t submit.
I like the LOF rich girl concept. I know that doesn’t involve Kathleen and Laylie, but Elsie, Vi, and Millie definitely are.
Because if you use a new URL on your name, it has to pass Char’s approval before it appears on here.
Millie;s not rich. She starts rich, but then her dad looses his job and she has to move to the country. Same with Kathleen.
I haven’t read her books. But based on her outfits, she’s pretty well off.
She’s not really. She starts rich, that’s why she has so many nice outfits.
I hope Millie gets a pretty new presentation outfit. It doesn’t do the rest of her wardrobe justice. I really like her special occasion outfit.
I hope she gets a nice and simple prairie dress. But knowing LOF, it’s more likley to be frilly.
Pretty much all of the LOF outfits are frilly, which I don’t mind. I like how there’s lots of layers to the outfits. AG is kinda the opposite. I wish Kirsten’s wardrobe was a tad more like Millie’s (although it wouldn’t be very realistic). Most of her everyday stuff is really dull (like her school outfit). I’d like to see another everyday prairie outfit for Kirsten.
Realistically, Kirsten already has way too much. But I agree. Another fancy outfit would be nice.
I love LOFs undergarnments. I wish AG’s were still available, as the LOF ones are too long (and it would save me some sewing) and to be truly accurate, the girls up to Kirsten-Molly would have had a shift, pantletts of some sort, and a petticoat. Lissie would have a corset, Fina a petticoat, and Julie possibly an undershirt.
lena, can u think of any negative things about kk?
How do you know all this stuff?
Because I know history.
AG clothes are loose on them? AG shoes don’t fit? I really can’t think of anything bad to say… wigs are thick, vinyl good quality, very posable, clothes high quality…
Oh! The shirts have velcro. That’s about the only bad thing that comes to mind.
Because i know my history.
Shirts use velcro. That’s the only bad thing.
I hate doll clothes that use velcro. With MT especially, it snags their cloth bodies. Velcro + tights = death sentence for the tights. Buttons and snaps are so much easier to deal with.
I’m back.. but I’m sorta depressed.
I told my coach what event I wanted to do, -he said he’d take care of it – and he forgot. So I didn’t get to do anything… Plus my dad will be sad w/ me.. =(
But virtually all doll companies (LOF aside) use velcro. It’s a fact of life. Velcro is less expensive so they use velcro to bring production costs down.
True. That’s why I love LOF. Snaps! The only velcro my LOFs own is on their shoes.
sorry selena..
yea, velcro is quite brutal to a poor my twinn… but, my becky is just fine!!
Velcro tends to snag hair, so be careful with Beckie. My Helena’s hair has been snagged many times already.
im really like piper. shes so cute!!!
but then again…i like all of them…. but i think im going to get piper 1st, then pita
I forgot about the hair. For most dolls, velcro is not a problem. But Nicki . . . ugh.
Velcro is also really bad if it snags a braid.
Velcro is a problem for most dolls. Only the ones with short hair are spared.
I hate velcro, too. Some of my newer AG dresses use a improved velcro, which doesn’t snag as much. When my Kirsten’s hair was still in the braids she came in (I didn’t take them out until she was three or four years old) the velcro ruined it a bit, but I was already an older child when I got her (9) and was always pretty careful.
My birthday is only 2 days away! That means Lissie and a bunch of outfits (I bought many of them for myself but am opening them on my b-day, anyway) will be opened and in my arms at last! I can’t wait!
Oops – looks like I never removed the link. There, this should be better.
Yeah, Velcro snagged my Kirsten’s braid and it’s kind of messed up now. I tried to fix it, but now the blunt ends of her braids are sort of staggered. It looks weird.
bouna notte
ok,I have to admit that some of AG stuff still aren’t retired yet,but AG will have final days for those outfits in about in last days of June or like beginning of july.
and i hope snuggly snow and soccor outfit won’t retire,because they’re awesome. snuggly snow is espescially my favorite,better than new jly pj,because i think new pj isn’t good as snuggly snow,
i’m not a big fan of kirsten’s hair because of the hairstyle she comes in. it can sometimes be messy; when you put it…out. but I am huge fan of elizabeth,lizzie,ruthie,beckie,julie,and maybe kit,because it is easy to style. and oops,i just listed my favorite dolls!
At the moment, the ag website is having serious problems.
I’m guessing they’re updating it though, seeing as it is the middle of the night in America and that would be the best time to do it.
I love Kirsten’s hair. It’s so pretty when it’s down. All it takes is a little water sprayed on there to keep it looking nice.
They haven’t updated. Nothing new.
AG did update,not the shop page,but there is new games and a new quiz on fun for girls.
I meant the shop page. I don’t go one FFG much so I didn’t notice the new games.
I watched The Boy In The Striped Pajamas last night, and I would highly recommend not watching it until you are AT LEAST 13.
I should have never watched the movie, because the ending is horrible….. yet very sad.
Lena do you like Rebecca?
Yes, I love my Helena (FKA Beckie).
I have the book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It was a hardback on sale at a book fair my last year in junior high. I’d like to see the movie sometime. Looks like I need to add it to my queue at Netflix.
I don’t like Kirsten’s style either. After the ruination of Molly’s hair, I won’t unbraid any of my dolls’ hair anymore – Kirsten or Jess.
Lena, I got an email from LoF this morning (you probably did too). It said that the original presentation gowns are almost gone and they’ll be replaced soon. My fingers are crossed for Millie!
I love Kirsten’s hair. I took them out of the original braids when she was 3 or 4 and the braids had made her hair wavy, which was nice. The curls never got tangled (I never brushed them), and I always braided them at the end of the day. I recently steamed Kirsten’s hair, turning it pin-straight and ever so soft and silky and I never have problems getting it back into the original looped style. The only thing I don’t like about her hair is the bob in the back.
Does Kirsten have originally straight hair that only looks curly when you take it out because the braids have been in for so long? Because her bangs are straight and the bottom tips of her hair are straight when she is new. Also, when I steamed her hair it became really straight, unlike Sam, my naturally curly haired girl. Hers only got sort-of-straight.
Take a look at the link I posted on the Doll Crafts post!!!
Yeah, I got it too. Can’t wait!
Kisten’s hair was never down in the illustrations, so I really don’t know. I know Molly has straight har (in the books), but Kirsten it was never mentioned.
Wait! No it was wavy. Her birthday illustration shows it in waves.
Anne, how exactly did you steam Kirsten’s hair? I’d love to do that to Molly’s hair.
OK,
OK, be really careful doing this because I don’t want to be held responsible should something go wrong.
I used a regular iron and filled it with water and held it an inch away from the doll’s hair (horizontally). In the beginning, I tried this very far (6 inches) away from the hair just to make sure it wasn’t going to hurt it. Make sure not to touch the bottom metal part of the iron to the hair or it will be ruined. This straightened the hair and got rid of the frizzled ends. It added shine, too.
Nellie was quick and easy, but Kirsten (long hair) and Samantha (who had the most damage) took a long, long time. Don’t use the iron for really long periods of time – I did this and burned out my mom’s iron. She wasn’t too happy and I had to buy her a replacement (which was fair).
If you decide to steam this way, PLEASE BE CAREFUL! There – I think I covered everything. Ask questions if you need to before you do this!
Oh, OK Lena. Do you think the doll would have straight hair if never put in tight braids? I tend to think so since the waves were only where the strands of the braids had been.
Yes, the braids are what causes the waves (All girls with braids have little waves where the braids where). Don’t put it in braids and it shouldn’t wave.
I think my Molly would be a great candidate for a steaming. The ends of her braids aren’t in great shape.
So what purpose does the water in the iron serve? Also, do you take small sections of the doll’s hair and steam it? Don’t worry, I’ll be careful if I do it. I’m the same age as you, so it won’t be a 10 year old with a hot iron.
The water is what steams the hair. The iron makes it hot, and it squirts out as steam.
Is there a special setting on the iron that you have to use to steam the hair? Or do you just fill it up with water and go?
I have no clue what so ever.
Yeah, do it in little sections. I don’t think I put it on any special setting (maybe hi, I don’t remember). You put the water in through the top. On most irons, there is an opening where the water goes. After the iron is heated up and the water is in, you just hold the iron horizontally about an inch above the doll’s hair and go. Make sure not to get any steam or water in the eyes. Cover the eyes just to be on the safe side. And you can steam all parts of the hair, not just the ends.
In irons, you’re supposed to use distilled water. Did you use distilled to steam their hair?
A little birdie told me to keep an eye on the AG site… say around tomorrow?
Thanks, Lena! I suspected that anyway because some stuff is going to be retired tomorrow. My fingers are crossed for the new JLY stuff! And Julie!
My cousin (the birdie) said to expect JLY and Bitty stuff, and said nothing about any historicals, so I wouldn’t get my hopes too high.
That said… new stuff for Julie and Ivy would be nice… especially ivy with her 2 outfits.
Uh, I put regular water in the iron I used, but I’m not sure what type of iron you have.
I wish they would give the historicals more things!
Distilled water is the universal type of water to put in irons, but it probably doesn’t matter much. If you’re filling a fish bowl, it probably will matter.
Yeah, historicals hardly ever get new outfits unless they’re the new doll. There should be a historical outfit of the year for each doll. JLY gets new outfits 3 or 4 times a year. SNF!
oh boy! (Lol) thankyou birdie!!!!
thank you lena! (and birdie! hehe)
You guys are welcome! My cousin welcomes you too.
Emily. She’s really cute!
I can’t wait to get Emily and Julie!
You know how a lot of us aren’t big Chrissa fans? Well two of my cousins (who are sisters) both got Chrissa dolls for their birthdays! How silly is that to have two of the exact same doll in your house? Especially when they’re 10 and 13. I know it’s their personal decision, but to me it feels like a waste.
Okay, I may get Chrissa for Christmas. But Julie and Emily are first! I don’t want to miss out especially when I might regret it.
Heck, I might throw in Sonali and Gwen while I’m at it! Can you tell that I’ve been affected by younger kids?
i ike emily and julie
The ag website is unavailable now. This time i’m sure they’re updating it. I really hope Rebecca gets another outfit but i highly doubt that because she just came out a month ago.
there was a box of baby clothes of mine, and i found a couple outfits for to fit my baby doll. one was brand new i had never worn it. they were premie size. it is so cute. and it fits the doll. i did fit in premie size for a very short time.
Grrrrrrrrr………… still not updated If I’m at work when they update, I’m gonna be so annoyed. They probably are gonna update….. there’s always the lunch break I guess. See you then!
Shop page works, nothing new showing up.
Isn’t there some stuff that’s supposed to be retired today?
Yeah, it’s 8:47 am (central time) and there’s nothing yet.
Lena, are you sure it’s not supposed to be tomorrow instead?
whatw the point of updating the site for a few hours and not putting anything new on it?
Wait, is there new stuff coming out soon?
Well, site matinence isin’t a new thing. They always do it.
I need to call my cousin and my PS about weather new stuff is in stores or not.
Lunch break’s over, so bye!
So there is?
Sry, I’m just confused!!!
i really hope theyll show it!!! ive gotten bored of ag, they need new stuff!!
I agree!! Who do u think will get new stuff (besides JLY!!!)
Lena said only JLY and Bitty Baby (who cares about them anyway?) are getting new stuff. But again, she also said that it would be released today.
Accodirding to my cousin? Bitty.
Home sweet home. I’m gonna go shower, bye!
My bad. Gosh Lily.
I need to call my cousin (she IS the one who told me to look out) and my PS in NY. Maybe the stores got something new and they haven’t put it on the site yet.
hey, cmon guys, give Lena a break! Its not her fault, its not even her cousin’s fault. besides, there’s still time today!
Off the phone with PS. They DO have new things for the JLY in the stores.
Now to call my cousin…
Thanks Sarah. The stores and the site are two different things. Many times the stores have things long before they go online.
My cousin didn’t answer, so I left a message to call me back.
Here’s what the PS told me:
Tap outfit
Jazz outfit
PJs
Scooter
sporty outfit
salon chair
Those are just off the top of her head, she said there are more.
I wonder how long it’ll be before the new stuff is online? I’m going to LA in two weeks, but I bet it’ll be up on the webstie before then.
Lena, I’m sorry I put the blame on you. I’ve had a lot of broken promises recently.
You know how a lot of us aren’t big Chrissa fans? Well two of my cousins (who are sisters) both got Chrissa dolls for their birthdays! How silly is that to have two of the exact same doll in your house? Especially when they’re 10 and 13. I know it’s their personal decision, but to me it feels like a waste. (I said this last night, but everyone was already gone)
Haha… i just saw a picture of the tap outfit. Let’s say I wouldn’t be spending 50$ on Marisol’s outfit on eBay.
There is more stuff, as I learned, including halloween costumes and a new school set, but I can’t say what is in them.
Sry Lena!!
I hope the Bitty Twins boys get new outfits! Poor things don’t have have much!!! plus, my boys would certainly appreciate it!!
Oh, there names are Zach and Cody. (ya kno, Suite Life? Don’t ask! I named them back in 2006!!!!) The girls I’m getting are the Asian and Hispanic ones and there names are Sue (Asian) and Maria (Hispanic)
Let me guess . . . it’s the exact same design as Marisol’s (including the glittery hat) in a different color? Where are you getting these pictures, Lena?
Asian and hispanic ones? Any JLY could pass for hispanic and any with dark hair can pass for asian. Of do you mean the medium skin bitty and the one with almond eyes?
Slightly less fringy skirt, plain pink tights, and the rest slightly modified.
Somewhere.
I think she’s talking about Bitty Twins.
Yes, I was talking about Bitty Twins. But that’s ok!!
I don’t like Bitty Baby and Bitty Twins. They just seem like any other generic baby doll toy (at a higher price). My 10 year old cousin loves her Bitty baby. Well, I guess those things aren’t targeted at 15 year-olds. They just don’t hold the appeal of the 18″ AG dolls.
Sorry, I reread it and yeah, Bitties.
Probably the reason why I named them Zach and Cody is cause I was thinking about them at the time I bought them!!
I also have a Bitty Baby named Noel cause I got her on Christmas Day!!!!
Don’t worry Sara. I wrote a story that had nothing to do with it, except that it happened in a hotel to the heiress, named Suite Life because i was watching it when I wrote it.
Lena, what you do mean when you say “bitties”?
Never mind about the last comment. Read my Chrissa one instead.
How long is the BT girls’ hair?
Long enough.
Lily, I read it when you posted it yesterday. I chose not to comment.
Bitty girls hair is a little past the shoulders.
Lemme guess what you were thinking: They can buy whatever they want and if they want to have two Chrissa dolls to play with, then more power to them.
Thanx! Check out this video from Disneyland!!! It’s hilarious!! Click my name!! Lena, do u work @ Disney World in FL? I was just wondering (if u kno) is Mary Poppins and Bert there as characters? Just asking!
No, I was thinking whatever floats their boat. I don’t like Chrissa, but if they do, whatever.
That’s funny!
Well, considering just about every Disney character is there, they should be. I work in Magic Kingdom, but I’ve never really paid attention to the “actors”. Bunch of snobs, IMO.
Yeah, but weird stuff floats their boats. One of them likes the electric pink Barbie-ish sweetheart skirt outfit (whatever). Oh, and they believe that every doll needs a bed.
My dolls sleep in the boxes they came in, when they sleep. Usually they just sit in my room.
Mmm…. only my AGs have a bed each…. but only Helena sleeps in hers.
I’ve always had the sense to buy just the dolls and the outfits. What are you going to do with a bunch of beds and four beat up dolls when you’re older? Like you said, whatever floats their boat.
I would like beds for my dolls but it:
a) costs alot in the first place
b) would cost alot to ship over here coz it is soo big.
My dolls don’t sleep. They stare.
lol. I have to go to school now. Cya later!
Actually, my cousins have more than 4 dolls now that they have their twin Chrissas. Then there’s the bitty baby doll.
I only have 1 AG bed, but I keep all my doll things in the spare room, so no one notces them. The other bed I got at a yard sale when I was 6, before I got into AG.
I don’t play with my dolls. Ever. I change their outfits occasionally and occasionally they fall off my bookshelves and scare me really bad in the middle of the night.
I only play when the girls I babysit come over (they have thir own dolls). Other wise I do what you do.
I have a pink AG futon bed that I got at the Hilton (AG package) one time. Then there’s that bunk bed that makes you dizzy just by looking at the mattress. I’m selling that thing on Bonanzle. Forget eBay.
Sometimes my cousins come over so to keep them busy I have them dress a few of my dolls. They don’t have very good taste in doll clothing. It’s a pain to clean up, but it keeps them busy.
I like my bunk bed… but I’m gonna *gasp!* girly it up. I want to make covers for the pillows like in Sam’s craft book (white with tassles) and embroider an ivy leaf on them.
Too much trouble. I’m lazy. I’ll take my $30 and run.
High school has made me very lazy. Maybe it’s from working so hard all year. But these days I sleep until 10:30 and never feel like doing anything or going anywhere. It’s kinda depressing.
Did u guys check out the link? Oh, and my mom just brought me Rebecca and Ana from the library!!!!
I like to sew though. So I’m fine with it.
Sewing scares me now. In junior high, I took two classes that involved sewing. It was high stress. I hated my teacher.
How come you can’t tell us where you saw the pictures of the new stuff if the stuff is already released?
I’m going into fashion design, so i kinda need to not be scared of sewing. And, you know, I need to be able to sew.
I can tell you, I just don’t want you going on there.
Fashion design? Sounds fun.
Why not?
Is it an age thing? Because I can prove that I’ve taken Geometry and Biology.
. . . and therefore am probably old enough.
Here goes:
In right triangles . . .
tangent is opposite over adjacent
cosine is adjacent over hypoteneuse
sine is opposite over hypoteneuse
Lena?
Nope. Not telling.
Could you atleast tell why? Please?
Oh, gosh. Now I sound like a whiny 6 year-old?. Eeeeek!
Oh my… did anyone else hear? Micheal Jackson died today….
so did som one else
did you hear? michael jackson died!
You’re sad that he died? What about Farrah Fawcett?
Yo,Michael Jackson died…today. It’s becoming a big news.
Mmm . . . ticking time-bomb.
Lily, if Lena doesn’t want to tell us where the pix are, she doesn’t have to!
I kno, my mom is really sad about Farrah Fawcett (spelling?) she used to have hair like hers!
Thank you Sara.
I’m sad about Fawcet, but I never saw her in anything and I don’t really know her. Mr Jackson, i love his songs
omg!!! i got samantha’s trunk, a 90’s samantha doll, a retired roller skating outfit, and a ton of retired clothes for $50!!!!
and not on ebay
i wish we could know about the jly outfits… plz lena
Your welcome Lena!!
Awesome Holly!!!
If you didn’t want to tell us where the photos were, Lena, you shouldn’t have even mentioned them in the first place. That was rude to wave it in front of everyone’s faces.
Sara, glad to see that you’re backing up your buddy. Holly, agreed.
Holly that’s awesome bargain! You mean all those items for 50 dollars INCLUDING Samantha doll? Because Samantha is so expensive these days.
Does anyone know when the new stuff will be online?
Anyway, like I said earlier,. my mom brought Rebecca and Ana home from the library!!! I happy!! Now I really want Beckie’s School Outfit!
I didn’t make u mad did I Lily? Sry if I did!
I just dislike being berated, nothing personal.
ag fan, yes even w/ a samantha doll!!! pleasant company at that, 1990s!!!
yea, lily, im dieing to know!!!
lena, plz dont tell us things if u dont want to show us. we get our hopes to high… lol
I understand!
Oh, man!!! I have a sun burn that really hurts!!!!
Lena’s comments made me a bit combative.
Congrats, Holly! I wish I could strike gold on something like that!
sara, take a bath w/ alka seltzer.
i know it sounds wierd, but it really helps!!! it has asprin and other pain relievers to get rid of the burn
Well, hopefully we’ll see the new stuff soon enough.
I hope the sporty outfit it pretty. I’m itching to go to LA right now. Two weeks! I’ll try to take pictures and send them here.
yea. at least the wait keeps us waiting gor something… but i would love to go ahead and see it ((looks at lena asking to post the link))
*for*
lol, i didnt mean ”gor”
I can tell you, I just don’t want you going on there.
Real sweet, huh?
Thnx Holly! But it’s way up on my shoulders!! But I have some stuff that u can spray on to get rid of it ( I think! gtg!
ouch sara!!! hope it gets better
lily, it wasnt too nice. i wish she wouldnt have told us if she wasnt going to show it.
i may not be on as much. im training for a marathon in october, and softball season
Yeah, it’s aggravating when someone tantalizes you with information like that. That’s why I’ve been on the warpath today. I want to see the new JLY outfits! Or atleast one of them!
A friend went AGPNY today and took some pictures. She shared them, but was specific about who would be able to see them.
BTW, there’s also a photography outfit, soccer outfit, bowling outfit, and some halloween costumes.
(for lena)
I’ll reply l8r I’ve been swimming for 3 hrs. and have to take a shower…
Photography outfit? Sounds interesting. Thank you for giving us an explanation and more information, Lena. Did you like the stuff you saw?
I just emailed American Girl about when the new stuff will be online.
I liked what I saw…. except the jazz shoes were purple. NO ONE makes purple jazz shoes. The bowling outfits were cool and really retro looking, and the photography outfit looked great for mixing and matching (AND REALISTIC CAMERA!!!)
thnx lena…
now i think lily and i can cool down some
Me too!
Holly, I just sprayed some stuff on it so it will probably stop hurting for a lttle bit!!
coolio sara!!
do any of yall have gray eyes? im the only person i know that has them… mine r really light though.
even having auburn hair, i never seem to burn.. i just get tanner and more freckles!!
does any1 know the exact date for the new jly stuff??
The stuff is in stored today. Online? Takes them a week or so usually *hopes she’s wrong*
I hope u’re wrong too Lena!
Well, Beckie came out online the same day she was released in stores.
maybe itll be sooner!!! my new (older than my other 1) sam wants a new outfit!!
The only part I’m dreading now is the pealing in that area of my skin!!!! Ugg! That’ll be so annoying!!!!
Yeah, my boys (Zach & Cody) have been begging for new outfits for 2 yrs!
Yeah, but that was a big realease. The stuff in Feb came out 2 weeks after it was in stores.
I can tell you that the bitty boys get new clothes.
Yay!!!
All I can tell u now is that my boys are celebrating!! They probably won’t even care what they are!! lol!
Is anyone gonna watch Princess Protection Program tomorrow? I am! I love Demi Lovato!!
I might…. not a big fan of Disney Channel, but this looks OK.
IDK. It looks better… than some of the movies. (I have to say, dadnapped STUNK. and ummmm.. “hatching” pete)
I Iwonder what uh, I forgot demi’s name, but what “her kingdom” will be called. I still have that “Genovia” song stuck in my head.. LOL!
I don’t care about anyone else’s thoughts may be (NO offense!) but sonny w/ a chance is (I mean, “sonny” is)SCARY. well, except..
Chad Dylan Cooper.
(BTW, lena, can u give me a pic of the outfit you made?thx! )
The you know what outfit? I’m not finished with it yet (too lazy)
dang it! Then again, I haven’t even bothered w/ the raincoat since… Monday? I’m lazy too. But when you do finish it, pllllzzz I’d love a pic!
huh. That’s funny I was planning on becoming a fashion designer too.. I wonder if.. the outfit.. would be a success?? hhmmmm… I think it’s pretty cute (LOL IDK if that’s the right word!)
Lena, why is your friend only letting select people see the photos of the new stuff?
OK,it’s kind of weird question,but who knows why come Rebecca is named after the terrorlist?
And if you compare Rebecca and Chrissa,who is better?
Haha… you haven’t see the outfit yet.
Because that’s how she is.
what new stuff??????
going to have desert (AKA and apple and peanut better lol!… that’s kinda weird I hate PB any other way.. that was random…)
Rebecca.
SHE IS NOT NAMED AFTER A TERRORIST! The name “Rebecca Rubin” was thought of BEFORE the real Ms Rubin went on rampage.
BECKIE.
If i’m correct, the bad person was AFTER they named beckie.
nooow going
KK, I’m gonna go read. Buona Notte!
oh man! Don’t ask me who’s better between Chrissa and Beckie! I love them both!!!!
me too, babysitting from 9-11, then we’re going to celebrate Cameron’s 4th bday (Sat) while my dad’s home, so ttyl
i mean,
bouna notte!
Wait, don’t leave me!!!!!
And it’s kind of random,but some days I look ag AGP comments,and saw this story.
There’s one girl who heard that AG dolls were awesome(which it is). So she wanted one and checked out the site with her mom. And guess what,they were expensive for them. So the girl saved up her money and bought $29.99 Target doll(the girl’s age was six). And because of her friend,she got chance to visit AGP and do hairdos for her Target doll. When she arrived at hair salon,the hair stylist refused to do doll’s hair.
That’s right,refused to do a doll’s hair! I do understand AG’s stuff to explain but I also uderstand the girl’s point.
And ok,I am telling girl’s name now and her name was Etta.
So what’s you guys’ opinion about it?
I love both Chrissa and Rebecca,too. But…if I get to purchase only one of them,it would be Chrissa.
There is chance that AG will retire ANY dolls from their character list. Seriously!
It’s not just Molly,Emily,and Kirsten,but maybe the most unpopular doll.
And who thinks buying lots of AG dolls in row would be spoiled?
I don’t think so if it will be long time before they buy another doll.
Buona Notte!
AG&FAN, that story never happened. They are very polite (always have been, it’s a rule) about styling doll hair that isin’t theirs. They just say that the doll has special hair they don’t see on many dolls they normally work with (therefore making the doll look special) and style it in a nice simple low ponytail.
There’s a chance any might ARCHIVE, but logically the most in danger are the ones with movies and big collections – Molly and Felicity.
the only things i still need in samanthais collection are jip, and her bicycle.
i got her trunk, and a old 90s doll, and a bunch of retired outfits for $50
i got her school desk for $5
my luck at getting sam’s stuff for good prices is really good so far!!!
i already had a 2005 nellie and a 2008 samantha, so gettin a pleasant company samantha was pretty awesome!!
NELLIE CAME YESTERDAY!!!! ALONG WITH ALL THE CLOTHES I WON! SAM MAY COME SOON!!!! I ALSO GOT THE BEDS! HERE ARE OUTFITS:
Samantha’s winter coat with everything except boots
homemade purple coat
Molly’s birthday dress
burgandy holiday dress
purple backpack
pleasant company hospital gown (Nellie is wearing)
and hair curlers
I have another order of clothes that may come today!
I love apple and peanut butter, Selena!
abby, how much did u get all that for?
Abby, Sam’s coat never had boots. Did you mean the gaiters?
Are our generation dolls good qaulity? because my friend wants an ag doll,but there too expensive,and she wants to know if there quality dolls. i have an our generation doll,but she is really old so the newer dolls might be different…
abby,that’s so cool!
is the purple backpack non-ag?
priscilla- i dont reccomend them. the whole doll is terrible quality!!!
Anybody here have Felicity? I do and I love her!! Her eyes are beautiful!!!
no, not yet. but shes on my top list to get!!
Priscilla, OGs are ery bad quility. Tell her to save her money for an AG (or get an old on on Ebay) because they last long, and if they break, there’s many doll hospitals you can send them to.
No, I don’t have Lissie, but her clothes are next on my list.
priscilla, mayb u and a couple of ur friends can pitch in and help her buy an AG
^I like Holly’s idea.
thanks lena!!
I like that idea too Holly!
hopefully priscilla’s friend can get an AG.
Me too. Even if she can’t afford clothes, the OG and Sprinfield clothes fit well, ahe can get those (which are much cheaper than AG, and petty OK quality)
and some of those clothes are really cute
Heck, I’ll admit to owning some OG and Springfield clothes. I prefer some of the accessories OG has to AG ones (Horses), just I don’t like the dolls.
me 2!! i have the spa chair, horse, and the bath tub (OG)
Is AG gonna update their site?
I have some old clothes, a cookie baking set, and a picnic set.
Well, obviously. A better question would be WHEN will they update. The simple answer: I don’t now. My cousin never called me back, so she can’t tell, and I doubt she’d now. She only designs the clothes, she doesn’t work on the website.
thank you for your ideas lena and holly! holly,the idea about pitching in,i already gave her 30 dollars and she says it is’nt enough,but maybe some of our other friends will help. i can’t wait for the new outfits! are they making any historical outfits?
also,she(my friend,i’m not allowed to say her name.) recently moved to a different state,so idk if the money could get to her in the mail…i don’t know,but she is back in town for a few days,and she told me that she really wants molly.
does anyone here have kaya? i’m thinking of maybe,possibly getting her…
No, only JLY and Bitty (baby and twins).
What’s wrong with her saving up for a doll herself? Get your friends to donate some money, and she can save the rest herself. I can even give you a free shipping code when she is ready to buy Molly, if there’s one at the time.
Kaya’s so pretty. I strongly suggest getting her. She has the sweetest face, but use water when brushing her hair. Otherwise it will tangle.
mayb she could get a eBay molly then.
it would b less expensive, so mayb itd be easier 4 her 2 afford.
i wish ur friend the best of luck!!
priscilla- i love kaya!!
ive had mine 4 2 yrs now, and no trouble whatsoever!!
I wish Elizabeth and Lissie would get new outfits!!! Same w/ Molly and Emily!
yea i do 2. especially julie and ivy!!
Poor Kaya needs more clothes!! Josefina does too!!
yea they do!!! but realistically, kaya would only have the outfits she already has.
josefina on the other hand, could stand a new outfit
Not really. Josefina would only have had 2-3 European outfits (her christmas, summer, and wedding outfits) and a few skirts and camisas for everyday.
K, I just got off the phone with my cousin. She said she heard they’d put the new things on the site monday, but she wasn’t sure if she had heard right.
thnx lena
Guess what?! The Rebecca doll has russian nesting dolls and a phonograph, plus a stand for it! Oh, and she has her Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm book too!
?? Bookworm… could you explain? Do you mean your Rebecca, or AGs Rebecca wil be getting these things?
If you read my above comment, click my name for the link, and scroll down a little!
I’m still not seeing it. Sorry.
The backpack is old but it is AG. Also sam came today at noon. Lena, Samantha is the real original with white body. but I have a question… Did the first dolls have really thin hair? such as you can see the wig cap?
No. I suggest sending her to the AG hospital for a new wig, with stikey notes all over saying DO NOT CHANGE HEAD!!!
How much is the hospital?
I’m not sure how much a new wig is… about 20-30$ I think.
Ah… ok. Apparently, they don’t do wigs alone, only head (No idea why). You can buy a cheap Sam-like wig from other sites and do it yourself, or you can send her in for a new head, but then it won’t be PM.
New heads are 39$
Oh….
Kemper and Monique have very cheap wigs (10 and under), maybe you can find a nice one there?
BTW, the Kemper and Monique wigs ARE AG quality.
Ok, just watched Princess Protection Program, it was AWESOME!!! I loved it!!! It was way better than Dadnapped!!!!!! I love Demi Lovato!! (Just not in Camp Rock!!) Sry, if some people don’t like this, but it was awesome!!!
ahhh, i just got metal bands on my teeth for braces! Its AWFUL, its digging into my tongue and my cheek, and I feel like yanking them off with super strong plyers. But my mom just payed like 3000$ for them, so i gotta go through it. Anyone else have braces?
Nope, bluntly I refused. The doctors eventually gave up trying to talk me into it, as did my parents. My teeth straightened themselves anyway, with no help from braces.
I’m sorry you’re in pain though.
I have braces. I actually went to the ortho yesterday. oooowwww. period. They shortened my wire again (wait, sorry, somehow I messed it up by touching it w/ my tongue, so they got me a new wire. two more trips till they’re off, for good! (hallelujah!) I’ve had them since July 07
bouna notte!
Uggh just ate 2 cookies I made and I think i’m sick =P
Ouch. I’ve had my braces off for a month they’d hurt real bad!!
I hope u r ok Selena!
i have had braces since may 2008
Are there any free shipping codes going on now?
No free shipping codes.
About my above, just SLOWLY scroll down,and there are some pictures of Rebecca. SHE HAS RUSSIAN NESTING DOLLS AND A PHONOGRAPH!
See, your name linked me to a different blog before.
That looks suspiciously like a birthday set…
Actually, on second thought… AG wouldn’t put on display something that isin’t released yet, would they? She likley will get a phonograph and nesting dolls, but I’m not so sure about the othe stuff (notice the stars in the table cloth, too anachronic looking)
Sara,i wanted to watch princess protection program so much! but i was’nt allowed to because i had to help my dad plant our neighbor’s trees!
bookworm,are those rebecca’s real things? or did an ebay seller make them?!?
Priscilla, it’ll be on again tonight, and tomorrow.
yea. but i guess we never know…
come on AG, post the new outfits!!!
o btw every1, i have posted a contest on my website for the best GOTY 2010 ideas. please enter, i will post the winner July 4th
My cousin said monday.
I’ll enter.
thnx lena. my entry doesnt count btw. i was just sharing my opinion.
everyone else, plz enter!!
lena, i LOVED your idea!! really original
Ok, so you know it was me. I explained it when I replied.
Thank you! I think an environmental girl would be good now, especially with all the talk about global warming and hybrid cars and stuff.
BTW, I heard global warming reversed itself and it’s getting colder. Not feeling that cold in FL though.
not feeling the cold in alabama either!! lol
yea, they do need a doll that supports the enviroment, besides kailey.
And a black girl. Seriously. The only black character so far has been Addy, and their minority to white ratio is seriously off.
yes, or white/black. AA girls only have either a JLY or Addy option, not a GOTY
Heck, I don’t really care, juat as long as she’s part black. She can even be girly and wear pink. I’m gonna make my own character anyway. I’d just like the option to have a black GOTY.
I don’t believe in global warming. I know everyone’s obsessed w/ it though.. It’s going too far.. they’re raising taxes on fossil fuels, electricity, etc; in hope to make more ppl “go green” so that we don’t a burn to death. I wonder if the makers will cut back?
Well, good thing I’ll be staying up late Sunday night!
Unless of course they don’t get it up until I go to bed!
I don’t believe in global warming either. It’s ridiculous, With Disney Channel doing “Friends For Change”, it would be much better if they chose to help PEOPLE instead. I have nothing against it, but I’m just saying….
Ug, I’m sick of all the commercials for Friends For Change!!!!!
I never believed it, but I much prefer being “green”. Then again, I was always “green”. My mom grew up in rural Poland. We eat only organic food (we don’t like to poison ourselves), our dryer has never been used as we prefer to line dry, and we walk everywhere instead of driving (because a park that’s less than a mile away, why would we drive?)
Global Warming did exist, but not to the extent that they had us believing.
Ya, I don’t believe Global Warming either. The media is making a big deal out of it like they always do.
we’re organic, we drive (the only things that are less than 5 miles away are sonic and a gas station lol) , we use a washer + drier . We are sorta green. We use the swirly light bulbs
but I’m sick of the “help moootthhhheerrrr earth!” and the whole obama will make the global warming thing? *gag* the media … I might go make “media” targets to shot!
so, you can just say I’m not exactly a tree hugger, and I’m not going to chain myself aroung a tree that’s going to be cut down. It’s a TREE. Plus, all those “go green!” “save the grass!” ppl prob. use paper..
where is everyone? I hope I didn’t scare you off with my “non-tree hugger” speech
Math exam.
No u didn’t Selena!!
I’m tired of hearing about Michael Jackson!! But, it gets Jon and Kate out of the spotlight and work out their divorce.
ok, good!
And I have to go buy a swim team suit, b/c they 4got to order mine! I’m not very lucky! LOL And I want to buy some converse….
we are about to go see “up” b/c 2day is my (now) 4 yr. old bro’s bday
i believe in Global Warming, rather strongly in fact.
but thats just my opinion, and its really cool to hear other ppls opinion on global warming
MJ looks like a girl. or, looked I guess. Then again, unless they creamated (LOL I have no clue how to spell that.. CREAM-ate-ed.
) him, he must still look like a girl. He went a little crazy there.. a while back.. I’ve never even seen a pic of him b4 yesterday! I know, I’m out of it, right? But I don’t sit around looking at celebs, I have a life too! He was pretty scary though, and holding that baby over the railing? I started yelling at the TV!
Why are ppl veg.s? I mean, the meat is already dead… sorry, that was random.
GTG bye!
ok, I really have to go, but
OMGOSH I just found out I’m polish!!!!!!! g2g
Selena- my mom showed me what he used to look like and I at 1st said “Who is that?” And my mom said “Michael Jackson.” And I was like “Dang!!”
Oh, and my mom turned Grease on last night and called it the High School Musical of the 70’s. I recognized Didi Conn cause she played Stacy Jones on Shining Time Station. (That’s what I’ll remember the late George Carlin from. Not his bad stuff. I never heard of that till his death!)
cool selena!!!
Sara, HSH was based on Grease. It is the original HSH.
i strongly believe in global warming,actually.p.s. lena,how much do karito kids cost?
do you guys like friends forever dolls?
99$ on the site, but I’ve seen (and gotten) them for 50-70$ on Costco and in hospital gift shops.
The scare me. The Friends Forever have creepy facemolds and eyes.
oh. I read that somewhere but forgot till Lena told me. Thnx Lena!
Anyone have Elizabeth? I do. I love her, but I got sick on her and she almost went to the Doll Hospital. But my mom called AG and they said to wash her hair. Now she’s good as new! But is her hair supposed to be like Julie’s or a little like Gwen’s? Cause her hair looks a little darker than Gwen’s (mine does)
Her hair’s suposed to be brown.
wow this thread hasn’t been busy today.. “up” was pretty good. Much better than I expected. I recommend that and transformers 2 (I saw that Thurs…. or was it yesterday? IDK) . They were both reallllyyyy good. Trans. was like 3/4 fighting so don’t see that unless you can bear it
lol
I really likes “Up” too! But it was kinda sad.
Transformers and another movie are what I have to see this summer.
I’ve seen one movie in like, Jan. then 2 movies this week! but hey, it’s cam’s bday, gotta do something special!!
I felt sorry for mr. Hendrickson
hehe!
lena, you HHHHAAAVVVEEE to see Transformers! It’s the best movie I’ve seen this year! (LOL, out of the 3 I’ve seen, and one of them I can’t even remember!)
Hey Lena, you know how before, you were commenting on bookworms pictures of Rebecca’s phonagraph and stuff, and u said that there were stars on the table cloth, well the stars are the american girl stars and they are on the glass, not the tablecloth.
and also, if you look at the 2nd picture of Rebecca’s display, you can just see the blue bottle in the picture with the phonograph. The bottle is actually lifesize so i am guessing that those items were just put there to enhance the display.
Yeah, likley. I know for sure she’ll get the matryoshkas and the phonograph, but the other stuff seemed like too much. My bad, the stars are infact on the glass.
I don’t think she’s getting all this, but will be very happy if i’m wrong.
im all for recycling and dont believe in wasting things. i know pollution is bad. but of course the media has to blow it completely out of porportion and everything. adn the law is oging to make a few peolple rich thats all and more taxes.
Lily, I just learned this:
Elsie will come in her school pinafore, Violet in her morning dress, and Millie will get a new pink dress.
Thought I’d let you know.
It feels so good to have internet again! Hey, let’s not talk about global warming. While it’s great to not be wasteful, the topic boils down to a political issue and we don’t want to antagonize each other. We’re here to talk about dolls!
I’m sorry to all of you out there with braces! I got mine on two days before Christmas one year and couldn’t enjoy any of the food because my teeth were in so much pain.
I can’t wait to see the new JLY stuff on Monday!!!
Thank you, Lena! I love Violet’s morning dress!
Here’s hoping Millie’s new pink dress is pretty!
Hey, where did you hear that, Lena?
I emailed them.
Hey. I was wondering, do u guys think I should make a blog? I have been debating it in my mind for awhile. It would obviously be about my dolls and their adventures. I was inspired by Starr and pioneerfan.
And, who’s Millie?
Millie’s an ALOF doll.
Sure, why not?
I’m ssoooooooo boorrrreeeeddddd.
hey lena, how old do you have to be to get a job at disney? Does your job pay well?
You have to be at least 16, 15 if a parent works there. I get paid minimum wage.
when will we get a slightest clue on the next GOTY?
Normally? Late November – early December.
lena, i commented again on my wbsite
thnx!!
SUP guys! im really bored, and my teeth hurt WORSE! i cant eat ANYTHING, i was able to eat like ice cream and soft stuff, now my mouth feels so swollen and raw and painful I cant eat and i can barely talk.
anyone on stardoll? add me if ya want, im harmony-music. yeaaaa, anyway im bored…..
My mum just surprised me with Rebecca! she’s soooo beautiful!
I have like 5 stardoll accounts lol!! I’ll add you =)
OK, 3 more years! Only, b/c i’ll be close to friends. my aunt worked at splash when she was 19 (I think) and she’s come home everyday all excited (she stayed w/ us) , so I’m guessing she had fun but IDK, I’m not looking for fun, i don’t care!
my teeth hurt too, but hey, grin and bear it!
The night I got braces I ate a plate of taco salad. Tonight I had pizza, ice cream and cupcakes, I feel sick again! hehe I don’t normally eat this much sugar (well duuuhhh) so that may be part of it.
I’m going on buildabearville!! LOL
ok, wait I haven’t left yet, but holly…
I’d like a boy best friend doll too. black hair, green eyes. But I don’t think AG would do that. =(
Usually the gotys have a sport.. why not tennis?
but IDK what her story would be. What about coping with a parents death? I have a close friend who’s first dad died in a car crash, 2nd from cancer. The kids at school made fun of her, saying they wished her mom would die as well. But that would sorta be chrissa’s story…
Yeah, getting your braces on is awful. It was nearly three years ago for me, but I still remember the pain. One of my friends likes to brag that she didn’t need braces, when in fact, she has chipmunk teeth.
Selena, kids actually made fun of your friend because she lost two parents? That’s awful. What do you mean when you say it’s Chrissa’s story?
She meant that like Chrissa, the girl would be bullied.
a boy AG would be awesome, except im not too sure if it would look totally creepy. Yep, thats my choice too, black hair green eyes, something enchanting about that combination….
Hmm . . . an American Girl boy doll. Well, Emily is British, so it wouldn’t be AG’s first doll that contradicts the company’s name.
i know, right?
Yes, it was sorta like chrissa’s bulling (is that correct spelling?). They made fun of her for that, and that her dad lost his hair (they hadn’t even seen him, but just said it b/c they supposed he had for cancer) They treated her bro even worse. It would be absolutely horrible to lose one dad, I can’t imagine losing two.
I just swam in our pool – alongside about 30 beetles. YUUUCCKKK. But the water felt great (our car temp. said 121 after movie, 105 while driving LOL) and the moon was beautiful.
I’m gonna take a shower now…
or black hair green eyed twins, one , one boy, and they could play tennis or somthing.
sorry, i wrote that b4 ur comment for the black/green combo “enchanting”
but very true lily… Although I can’t really picture an “American Boy” doll at the moment
that is awful, i hope she feels better and all again
i would be either very rude or burst out crying.
changing the subject, do they plan out of the year or hsitorical very far in advance?
This is my current favorites list:1.Elizabeth Cole2.Julie Albright3.Felicity Merriman4.Emily Bennett5.Chrissa Maxwell6.Sonali Matthews7.Gwen Thompson8.Kirsten Larson9.Rebecca Rubin10.Kit Kittredge
it’s almost been a year, she’s still recovering.
Too bad they couldn’t make a doll to honor her (after everything she’s been through), but they’ve already made a doll w/ her name.
If I where w/ her I would have punched the ppl and started cussing (LOL jk) , no screaming at them. How could they live w/ themselves??
bouna notte!
I’ve seen boy dolls before (customized by the owner) and I love them. The look very adorable.
Chrysanthamum, yes, they do plan very far ahead, as it takes years to get everything historically accurate. I first heard about “Rebehka” in the 90’s.
Selena, that’s horrible that happened to your friend.
if people are that mean,she should change schools.
Priscilla, it’s not always that easy. You can’t just change your public school, they won’t let you. Priate schools cost money, and she may not want to be homeschooled.
she had to endure school for like 5 more months after her 2nd dad died, then they moved. I’m not sure what they do for school….
going 2 church bb l8r
Do you know how far in advance they plan the GOTY?
where did my other comment go?!? oh well,i geuss it was deleted.
my parents just got me addy’s sunday best outfit and bec-bec’s kittens for watching my brother!!!!!! yay!!!!!(i normally would not get ag stuff from watching my sister,but my brother has…something…and its harder to watch him.
That’s awesome!!!
thanks sara! do you guys sponsor kids?(who are poor and whatnot.) we just signed up today at church! i’m really excited bcuz we get to talk to the kid we sponsored!
omg! i just heard billy mayes and natasha richardson died!
Uh . . . Natasha Richardson died in March.
Kinda old news, if you know what I mean.
Sry Priscilla, but I don’t.
I kno!!! What is up w/ so many celebrities dying within a week????!!!!!
billy mayes?? Isn’t he that laundry detergant guy??
Yep . . . oxy clean, kaboom, etc.
It is weird. Within days Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Billy Mayes are all gone.
Atleast the Sham-wow guy is still around!
The very same!
I just got the rest of the Rebecca books from the library, so far, Rebecca and the Movies is my fave Rebecca book!!!! Although, the illustration w/ Ana as the mean factory boss in Changes for Rebecca is pretty cool too!! My fave characters would have to be Beckie, Ana, Max, and Lily!
Oops! Sry Lily!! Didn’t see ya there!!
And, my other fave Beckie book would be Candlelight for Rebecca!
Don’t forget Ed McMahon!!! He died about 2 days before Farrah!
I’m getting excited for the new JLY stuff!!! I hope it’s great as Lena says it is. She has good taste, so I trust her opinion.
the ibrary near here dosnt have revecca’s books yet. im going to be able to buy a few things soon from ag. if you send in a money order or check does anyone know how long it takes fotr AG to recive the payment and fill the order and then it is delivered to you?
does it take anylonger if you order a gift certificate than products?
Yay! The new stuff is online!
Wow it is really slow around here today! There’s only one comment (besides this one) so far and it’s 7:39pm in my time zone.
We’ve moved on to the doll lunchboxes post.
i am so crazy about those new stuff… but sad thing is,they hadn’t released ice-skating outfit for JLY yet. so yeah,i just have to “borrow” molly’s skates if i can ever get them! and i love new pj,so worth retiring snuggly snow!
Cute
