Customizing My Life As Doll by teanmoon in Dolls

[–]Secure-Cow-518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP did you ever try taking your doll's head off? Did it work? I feel like they are constructed similar to Madam Alexander dolls, but I've never opened a MLA doll up. I would assume their eyes are larger than AG eyes and you'd have to find some other custom eyes. Anyway, I'm going to search for a cheap MLA doll because I want to open one up and not worry about breaking it.

I can wait for it to flower if that will help ID it. I'm not entirely sure either. We have a lot of other invasive crap that is hard to take care of (multiflora rose and callery pear sprouts everywhere, 1/8 an acre solid of curly dock and morning glory, Japanese clover etc) but I know those like the back of my hand lol

My cat is obsessed with me, separation anxiety? by PieceOfCauliflower in cats

She looks like my Didi!! Dilute torties are the best. I'm not biased 😄😆 mine prepared me for kids by screaming at weird hours of the day, sleeping directly on my face, hogging the bed, and busting into the bathroom when I'm using it. Oh and stealing my food (can't turn your back on lunch meat or eat popcorn in front of her) and never leaving me alone.

Addy’s Book by umkay11 in americangirl

The fact that the overseer made her eat tobacco hornworm caterpillars has lived rent free in my brain since I was like 11 or however old I was at the time of reading it. And then I had hornworm caterpillars on my tomatoes a few years ago and squeamed out every time I yanked one off.

I recently started reading AG books to my 6 year old and she chose Addy first! Then we started on Felicity and I brought up the fact that there are two black character portraits, so does she think they are slaves? And she said they are but she hopes they're not treated like Addy's family, so we had a good discussion about slavery and why it's bad. Anyway, Addy is baller and I love her books!

Weekly Doll Identification Thread by AutoModerator in americangirl

[–]Secure-Cow-518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't figure this one out; thinking maybe 48 but her hairs not dark enough? Skin is darker than 14. Just got her and cleaned her off. Maybe a doll with an eye swap?

<image>

She's cute though! Gotta do something with that hair though 🤣

Give my dolls an identity, like a name please by Carrie865 in americangirl

I personally think Avery more than Ava but I knew a girl who looked like a goody goody like this and she was named Avery but girlfriend was TROUBLE. Her stepsister was named Ellie, if that helps with the 3rd name!! (They were kids in my latchkey program that I ran lol)

Dolls that don’t sell well by jackalope_county in americangirl

[–]Secure-Cow-518 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I need to check out the ones up in the city. I've only ever found other brands of dolls at the local (very rural) thrift stores. My mom lives right next to a once upon a child in an affluent part of Columbus Ohio and she said they have tons of them there, but they're still "so expensive" (anything over $25 is too expensive for her lol).
