Today, I will be sharing the pictures I took at Lea Clark’s debut!
As many of you know, the lighting in the AG stores aren’t very good, which means blurry pictures. So, sorry if some of them are fuzzy, but it couldn’t be helped.
Here’s the front of the D.C. store. ^.^
I really like the “Meet Lea Clark” sign.
A huge version of the cover art on Lea’s second book, Lea Leads the Way, was on the wall in the main Girl of the Year wing.
Cover of Lea Leads the Way by Lisa Yee.
Lea’s Exclusive Collection, $180.
I wanted to get Lea’s Beach Dress, but it was part of her Exclusive Collection, so I couldn’t get it without buying her accessories, too.
Lea Clark! :D
Lea’s Accessories.
Lea’s Earrings. They’re exclusive to the 2016 GOTY — only Lea dolls can get their ears pierced with these earrings.
Margay Cat.
Sea Turtle.
Three-Toed Sloth.
Lea’s Rainforest Hike Outfit & Accessories. I bought this outfit, and I can’t wait to show you all how good Lea looks in it!
(Sorry about the glare!)
Lea’s Rainforest Hike Accessories. I think this is really cute, and I hope to get it before Lea retires!
Seriously, Lea looks fabulous in the Rainforest Hike Outfit!
Lea’s Bahia Outfit.
Lea’s Rainforest Dreams Pajamas.
Girl-sized Rainforest Dreams Pajamas.
Girl-sized slippers.
Lea’s Dress for Girls (with messenger bag).
Lea’s Messenger Bag for Girls. My dad said that if he was a girl, he would be freaking out over the bag. :P And, honestly, it is pretty cute, especially since you can change where the straps are to turn it into a backpack!
Lea’s Ocean Kayak Set.
Lea’s Mix and Match Bathing Suit (with life jacket from Ocean Kayak Set).
Lea’s Beach Accessories.
Snorkeling equipment from the Beach Accessories.
Tiny sea turtle hatchlings, part of Lea’s Beach Accessories.
Sea Turtle. :)
Next are some pictures of Lea’s Fruit Stand!
Lea’s Mix and Match Bathing Suit. I bought this, and it’s adorable!
Finally, here are my pictures of Lea’s Rainforest House.
There was a cute hammock that a doll can sit in!
There was a shower on the side of the Rainforest House. I thought it was weird that there was no shower curtain or anything.
Seashell wind chimes.
The loft bed.
Little frog. :)
I have more pictures from my trip to the American Girl store — Truly Me outfits, 2016 special edition mini dolls, etc. — but I’m saving them for another time.
Have you ever been to a GOTY debut?

Wow, Lea has a pretty cool collection! I wondered about the shower, too. XD Can’t wait to see the outfits you got! :)

She does! But it’s similar to Jess’s and Kanani’s collections.

I agree! It also reminds me of Lanie’s, too.

Cool! I really like her bathing suit! I also like that one shirt where she was next to the fruit stand. I didn’t get it because I didn’t have enough money.

WOW! Lots of cool stuff. That is weird that there’s no curtain on the outdoor shower! o_O
I can’t wait for the pictures of her in the hiking outfit. She looks so cute!
Funny, though, all of Lea’s stuff looks like a mixture of Jess & Kanani’s collections. :P

Did you get any of her animals?

I didn’t. They were too expensive for simply a stuffed animal, and none of them really appealed to me.

Yeah, her collection is pretty similar to Jess’s and Kanani’s! ‘Cause Kanani had a shaved ice stand (Lea’s Fruit Stand) and Jess had a kayak (Ocean Kayak Set). Weird . . . Plus, Lea looks like a cross between McKenna and Marisol.

I don’t think I can control how much shows up in the emails. WordPress automatically puts an excerpt in them.

this was my first GOTY roll out. It was ridiculous! So many people! Everyone freaking out over the new doll. I had a lot of fun with Loren, she was kind of a celebrity.

Haha, I went to the debut this year!! Lea is amazing. But she and her collection are too similar to Kanani’s. American girl must be running out of ideas. I think it would be really interesting if they made an Asian girl of the year. They probably won’t, because it’s AMERICAN girl, but that would be very unique. However, I think Lea will sell very well- she flew off the shelves and I saw at least like, 50 people with Lea dolls lol.

Cool! Did you have fun?
Yeah, she is. :) I have to agree with you there — Lea’s collection is extremely similar to Kanani’s and Jess’s.
They could make an Asian-American Girl of the Year. That would be cool!
Yes! I saw SO many girls with Lea dolls when my dad and I were eating in the mall. It was crazy how many people had gotten Lea already!

I had a lot of fun, but not being able to buy my doll was a huge letdown. But I understand, because it was the holidays and everything. I got the bee myself outfit. It’s perfect, because I competed in the spelling bee last year and I’m competing this year. 😃🐝 now my dolls can cheer me on!
I know right? Yeah, Lea looks like she’ll be VERY popular…. I’m trying to avoid adorable pictures of her so that I don’t fall in love with her lol!

Yeah, he is! He was saying that he was my PR person (at the AG store, he would stop people and ask them if they read my blog), and he got his picture taken with the Lea cutout. XD

Nice pics! I was really confused when I looked at the 6th to last picture at first, because Lea’s hair kind of combined with another Lea doll’s hair and it looked like her ponytail was going up!
