Hey, guys!
The GOTY debut was a lot of fun. I drove up to D.C. with my dad, walked around the store for quite a long time, made fun of the sets I didn’t like . . . I also got to meet Izzy from Sew Sweet Dollies (a private blog). Getting to meet you was amazing, Izzy! You’re also incredibly cute.
If anyone is wondering, I don’t know what the free debut gift is. I didn’t get one, and I don’t even know if there was one this year. Does anyone know?
Anyway, here are my pictures from the store.
Gabriela McBride
The new Girl of the Year, Gabriela McBride. I like her pants and shoes.
The AG community has been requesting an African-American GOTY for quite some time, and I’m glad our wish was finally granted. Maybe I’m being picky, but I would have liked Gabriela a lot more if there was something more unique about her. She looks just like the African-American Truly Me dolls. If American Girl had given her a feature that made her stand out, I would have considered buying her.
They gave her box a completely new style . . . interesting.
So Gabriela is into the arts, right? Dancing, painting, music, poetry. That’s cool and all (I freaking love the arts), but didn’t we just have a dancer GOTY in 2014? And isn’t Melody a singer? I guess AG has been running low on GOTY ideas.
Super sparkly outfit. I like it, actually.
THE LAPTOP AND THE HEADPHONES. I LOVE THEM.
Her cat creeps me out.
Truly Me
The new Dream Pajamas.
Adorable doll food.
Mix-and-match set.
Ice skating set.
A lot of you have been asking if I bought anything. Well, duh, of course I did. :P I’ll be posting tomorrow, hopefully, about what I got.
And, yeah, I did get a doll.
I wasn’t planning on buying her, but she came home anyway. XD Any guesses?

I’m so sad that Gabriela is pretty, but is oh so boring and her box is in bad taste. Gosh, whose designing this? Ugh. I love her shoes and pajamas but her meet clothes are quite ugly. Her story is bland and the box again is disgusting… what is AG thinking?

Thank you for the photos. She is a very pretty doll. I like her kitty. Probably one of the only things I will try to get from her collection.
