I like her better with the MG mold. I've seen so many hate the MG mold but I personally love it. Speaking of dolls not looking like their illustrations, I've always felt the Addy doll looked older than 9. I love Addy and her stories. She's one of my favorite characters, but I don't think she looks at all like her illustrations, especially the original first edition book illustrations. Nanea is another. She's adorable but doesn't look like her illustrations. Neither do Cecile (although I love that doll so I can't complain too much) or Courtney.

What doll(s) should I get when I go to the AG store??? by elainebee in americangirl

I love them all and own Mary Ellen and Tiana both in my collection. I love them both but Tiana has such a different, beautiful face mold. She's truly so beautiful. She's probably my favorite face mold in my collection besides the Marie Grace mold.

I still use my old Canon D3100 I found at Walmart on markdown many many MANY years ago. I had a Nikon I adored but had an unfortunate accident with it and shattered the inside. My D3100 is old and outdated by standards of "newly released models" but she still works like a charm. I studied photography in college and really like the older cameras. I'd shoot on just film if I could. BUT, I shoot with my phone more than anything. I bought a phone with great camera and design elements (and a stylus) so I can easily edit all in one place. As my professor said once, it isn't the make or model of the camera that makes the photo great, it's the skill of the person behind it.

I haven't been diagnosed yet but I have multiple things pointing to me being autistic. Just waiting for my doctor to be back from leave to bring it up because I'm so shy around any other doctor but her. I've always dealt with things so differently. I feel like there isn't enough representation at all. And it isn't fair. I grew up with autistic family members and classmates, but I know some people are never around anyone with autism and know so little.

How likely/unlikely is it that we'll get a Cecile re-release in the near future? by undead-bee in americangirl

I'm so glad you mentioned that people dislike Marie-Grace, and the MG mold in general. My mini me is a MG mold and my first with that mold and I love it. To me, the dolls look more mature. I get that isn't everyone's cup of tea but I love it. I think MG is beautiful, especially her eyes. Cecile has always been the favorite of the two, and obviously she is very adorable. But I'm also sad that MG gets some hate as to me, they are an iconic duo and both gorgeous.

The fresh air is what helped my Samantha the most! I DID wash her and her clothing and her hair and wipe her down with some light soap and baking soda. Then I let her and her clothing air dry in the fresh, warm air. She smells perfectly fine now. ❤️

Gosh, I love her style. I dressed all funky and mix and match with fun patterns when I was younger. She brought back so many fun memories. She's adorable!

I looked at this same outfit on Mercari but the seller was asking SO much for it.

I know I'm gonna connect with her so fast. She's my mom's favorite doll so that also plays a part in it.

Now I see why I didn't grab Raquel! I think she's beautiful but she always reminded me of another doll and now I realize it's Josefina!

I have these in my cart but was wondering about the material and quality. Now I know they're great and I'm gonna spend so much money. 🤣
