New Blog and Some Other Thoughts...

Hey! This is a quickie post and I first want to address that I'm not coming back to this blog. While I like AG, I don't love it as much as I used too and I'm afraid if I stayed on here that it would be quite uneventful.

First, I want to tell you all about my new blog, I gave a link to it on here, but I thought I would share anyways. You can visit my new blog, Rhymes with Fargo HERE. I post about all sorts of things. Some posts are AG related, but the main focus of my blog is just ramblings.

Second, I've read some of your comments and would like you all to know that I'm keeping my dolls (they are currently in the doll room if anyone would like to know) and I won't be giving them away to anyone. Sorry!

Third and final thought, Caroline Abbott's photo was released today! You can visit my new blog (link above) to hear what I had to say.


Thanks for stopping by. I will never forget this amazing AG journey and I appreciate every follower and comment. Thanks guys and please visit my new blog! :-)

McKenna News!

Hey girls! So we've seen photos, learned about the actors, and have heard plenty of news about her new books- but there it still plenty more news (and clarifications) to be told!

• First off, there is a rumor going around that McKenna is Chrissa's older sister. This is NOT true. As, it can't be possible because a) Chrissa never had an older sister and b) if McKenna was older, how could she be in 4th grade in 2012  when Chrissa was in 4th grade in 2009?
• Second, she will even have a vault! I found this video online and it was very helpful in learning more about McKenna and some special events that will be taking place on Jan. 1 and 2 in American Girl stores. 
• Third, her movie will NOT be a theatrical release. According to many sources, McKenna's movie will be released on DVD sometime in Spring or Summer. 
• Fourth, she's identical to Chrissa- just with a wig change. I really wish they would've given her brown eyes- we haven't had a brown-eyed doll since 2006. Here's a photo for comparison (from left to right: Marie-Grace, MAG #39, McKenna, and Chrissa):

I hope this cleared up any confusion and I hope you are anticipating the release of McKenna as much as I am!

McKenna Brooks!

Hola! So, with the press packs now being released to day, I can now update you with plenty of information! First and foremost, I did not receive a press pack, and I'm giving links to those that did and posting pictures.

Okay, first, looky here! A McKenna picture with her book.

Meet McKenna Brooks everybody!

This is a closeup on her face. Now, a reader pointed out that she will be the first doll with heart-shaped face mold, but I'd like to nicely say that Marie-Grace was the first doll with a heart-shaped face mold and McKenna, does in fact have a Josefina mold. You can see Marie-Grace below.

Next up, we have her collection! 

Here you can see one part of her set is a bar. How are you going to use this with your doll, I have no idea. But nonetheless, they look like real bars! Also, I assume the bag she's holding is part of her accessories.

This is a a very detailed loft bed set! The colors are bit too bright for my taste, I mean, lavender, lime green, dark purple, and hot pink accents? But it's cute, and she's a reader! Yay! Not a laptop or phone in sight, but instead books! :-)

Finally, here's McKenna in her leotard! It looks to be high quality, and something girls would definitely wear, but when I used to take tumbling, the gymnasts would always wear a pair of shorts with their leotard. Personally, I would prefer it that way (it would add to the outfit).

Also, the Wall Street Journal reports that the McKenna movie will be premiere in July and you can buy her for $105- they've raised the prince again!

In my opinion this is what I give McKenna:

Doll Looks: 4/5

Uniqueness: 2/5 

Storyline: 3/5

Collection: 4/5

What would you give McKenna and do you think you'll buy her?

Hey everyone! I just want to make this post really quick, explaining some things...

• I am planning some giveaways, so be sure to check around soon!
• My contest isn't really going well, many people aren't posting their assignments, so I wonder if I should continue it. Any advice?
• The movie I am planning is about halfway done, so I hope it will be up in June. I know it's later than expected, but with exams and the end of school, it's kind of hard to get everything ready.
• I will try my best to make sure that this will become the 'Cecile and Marie-Grace central'.

After exams, I will try and update my blog more often. Please excuse the hiatus, I really do care about my school work!

Thoughts

Hey!
This post will be full of thoughts. I'm sure you've figured that out but I've never done one of these posts so I guess now I will.....


I ordered something from American Girl. And I've made myself promise that this will be the last thing I order from AG until Christmas. Because I've gotten all this new stuff and I just think I need sometime to use it. You're free to guess whatever I got from AG. It's supposed to arrive either Wed. or Thurs.


Alexis from From a Doll's Point of View requested me to make a video of how to do a braid like the one Kaylen has in the Summer Photoshoot. I will definitely make it after I've finished making my music video.


Oops.


I was going to have that be a surprise.


But now it's not.


But that's okay. 


Now I can brag about how great it is!!!


Haha Just Kidding- I'm not even done. It's all stop-motion and it takes a lot of work and I only have 184 seconds to go.


Wow.


Until Next Time,
Gabby
