Molly's Valentine's Day

 

Hey, everyone! It's your favorite doll, Molly! I hear that it's Valentine's Day!

Aka my least favorite day of the year.....but we can still have fun. 

Like climbing the fence!

See how nice this is?

I feel like I'm on top of the world.

See how impressive this is?

And how cool my boots are!

It was getting a bit hot in the sun.....

Nothing a little shade can't fix!

Trees are great for climbing, too. 

Trees are also a great place to read! I'm reading a book about witches, which is perfect for Valentine's Day. 

I can use my magic powers on you....

But it gets exhausting, so I think I'll rest for a bit....

And now I'm back to climbing things!

And swinging, too, hehehehe.

This treehouse is my secret hiding spot. 

One more tree photo.....

Well, that's how I spent my Valentine's Day. 

Stay cool, and punch a couple for me!

My Dolliday Wishlist

 Hey, y'all! Can you believe it's almost Christmas cuz I sure can't. 

Anyway, since we are in the season of Christmas....I thought it might be fun to make a list of all the doll-related things I would want for Christmas if, you know, I had more money. 

This is not meant to come across as spoiled or bratty, this is just sharing what would top my dolliday list (get it? Like holidays but with dolls). I'm keeping this list to be strictly AG stuff because most of my dolls are American Girls and because, otherwise, this list would get way too long.

Nicki's Red Vinyl Jumper Outfit

Is it just me or would Tricia look amazing in this? 

Twinkling Tourmaline Outfit

My birthday's in October, so this one is special to me, plus I just think it's stunningly beautiful. The birthstone collection is one of my favorites that AG has done in a long time. 

Chrissa's Winter Accessories

I would need to get this from ebay, but I genuinely think it's cute and I want more of Chrissa's collection. 

Licorice Twist Cat

THIS LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE MY CAT, I NEED IT

Rebecca's Kittens

I just really like cats.

Any of the Girl of Many Lands dolls

I wish this line had lasted longer! I think all of these dolls are so cute and I love the variety of cultures they have, plus, I mean, AG books I haven't read? 

American Girl Rebecca Rubin doll

SHE'S SO GORGEOUS, I NEED HERRRRRR.

Well, that is basically everything I would buy doll-wise, if I had the money. What would you buy from AG if you could?

The Questions

First of all, how many AG dolls do you have in your collection?

I currently have three; Molly, Tricia and Chrissa.

Who was your first doll?

Chrissa was my first doll. I got her in November of 2018. 

Who is your most recent doll?

Molly is. I inherited her from my sister who didn't want her anymore. 

Is there a doll that you love but everyone else seems to hate?

I know a lot of people don't like Caroline but I think she's gorgeous. 

Is there a doll that everyone loves but you don't?

Mmmm, well I'm not a huge fan of Barbie dolls in general.

In your opinion, who is the most underrated AG doll?

Rebecca is the GOAT who doesn't get enough credit for it and I will stand by that. 

Most overrated?

Hmmmmm, Luciana maybe? I do really like her but I'm not obsessed with her. 

Favorite face mold?

The Josefina face mold! I think it's stunning. 

Least favorite? 

I don't think I have a least favorite. They're all nice. 

Which BeForever meet outfit is the best, in your opinion?

Rebecca or Kaya, obvi

Alternatively, which is the worst?

Ummmm I don't like Felicity's at all so maybe hers? 

Which feature do you wish AG would give a doll?

More dolls with freckles and/or glasses would be nice.

If you were in charge of AG for a day, what things would you do business-wise for the company?

Definitely add a new historical doll! There are so many eras they haven't explored yet.

What's an unpopular AG opinion you have?

If I say the movies were actually good will you all hate me?

What's an AG outfit you'd wear?

Hmmmm I think lots of them are really cool but I especially love Chrissa's floral dress. I would wear that. 

Do you collect any dolls other than American Girl? 

Not at the moment but I would like to. 

So, that's it for the tag. Most of the doll bloggers I know have already done this, but, if you want to, please let me know. Bye!

Ranking Every Single Girl of The Year Doll

 Hello everyone! I did a post just like this when I first started blogging, and I wanted to see how my thoughts have changed now that I've gotten older, plus there are several dolls that weren't out yet when I made my first post. 

If you're not super familiar with AG dolls, Girl of the Year is basically when they center a story around a modern girl, and sell her only for a year [unless you can find her on ebay]. I like the GOTY line, though I feel like some of their newer ones aren't that original. I definitely prefer the historical line, but this one is good, too. Without further ado, let's get started.

#21: GOTY 2021 Kira Bailey

I just feel like Kira is kind of a bland doll. There's really nothing all that special about her, her outfit, her collection, or even her storyline [Lea from 2016 was all about traveling and wild animals, just like Kira]. She's just never really been a favorite of mine. She's cute, but I think there are better AG dolls out there.

#20: GOTY 2003 Kailey Hopkins

Again, I just feel like Kailey is kind of boring. She has a pretty small collection, and there's not a lot of stuff I like in it, plus the doll herself is cute, but nothing special. I do like her story's focus on environmentalism and saving the tide pools, so she gets points for that.

#19: GOTY 2017 Gabriela McBride

Yet again, I think Gabi is kind of bland. She's pretty, but her story is very boring. She's another dancer, and AG has had so many dancer GOTYs, so I just feel her story could've been more unique. I do like her purple and blue color palette and some of her accessories, though.

#18: GOTY 2015 Grace Thomas

I think Grace is pretty cute, but she just looks a lot like Chrissa, so I feel like her appearance isn't super unique. I do like her focus on food and baking, and some of her collection is really cool, but I don't think her story is one of the most interesting ones. Points for having Olivia Rodrigo in the movie, though.

#17: GOTY 2001 Lindsey Bergman

I think that Lindsey herself is pretty cute------I especially love her hair, and her story was pretty good, but I just hate everything else in her collection. Especially her Meet outfit.

#16: GOTY 2020 Joss Kendrick

I think that Joss' doll is pretty cute, and I like a few items in her collection [like her Nfinity cheer outfit], but not a whole lot, honestly. Her story also seems kind of bland------there have already been a lot of dolls focused on surfing/the ocean and/or cheer/dance, so she's just okay in my opinion.

#15: GOTY 2007 Nicki Flemming

I think that Nicki is a really cute doll------I especially love her curls, and I like her focus on dogs and animals, in general, but I've never read her books, so I don't know her story, and her collection isn't my favorite. There's nothing wrong with her. She's perfectly fine, just not my favoite.

#14: GOTY 2014 Isabelle Palmer

Isabelle has a lot of items in her collection that I love, and I think she's pretty cute, but, again, she's nor my favorite. I feel like ballet isn't a particularly unique idea for a doll, but, to be fair, she was one of the earlier dancer GOTYs, so it wasn't overused yet. 

#13: GOTY 2008 Mia St. Clair

Mia is a cute doll! I like her Meet Outfit, and I think it's pretty cool that she's an ice skater. I like Mia, I just don't love her, and I really don't have all that much to say about her besides that.

#12: GOTY 2006 Jess McConnell

Again, I think Jess is really cute. I love her dress and her braids, especially. I also like that her parents are archaologists--------that's pretty cool. However, I haven't read her books, so I can't really judge her story. and her collection is just okay, in my opinion.

#11: GOTY 2019 Blaire Wilson

I really like Blaire's soft color palette, and I like a lot of her clothes and accessories. Her doll is cute, but not the cutest. I also don't think her story is particularly original [she's focused on cooking and food, just like Grace]. 

#10: GOTY 2005 Marisol Luna

Marisol was the OG dancer GOTY, and I think she was the best one. I love that she has a cat, I like her pink and purple theme [my two favorite colors!], and I like all of her dance costumes. They all look really cool. Her collection is small, but amazing. 

#9: GOTY 2016 Lea Clark

I think that Lea's doll is incredibly pretty, and I love that she got to travel to Brazil. Her collection was cute, but not the best. I did find her books a bit boring, though-----especially when compared to her movie. Lea's super cute-----she's just not my favorite.

#8: GOTY 2022 Corine Tan

I think Corinne is really pretty! I love her partially teal hair, and her sweater looks super comfy! Plus, skiing is a cool new interest for an AG doll, and I like that she has a sister. The only thing that makes me like her less than some of the other dolls is that her whole theme is winter, and I really, really don't like winter.

#7: GOTY 2013 Saige Matthews

Saige is really pretty! I'm a bit of a horse girl myself, so I love that she loves horses. I also think her focus on art is pretty cool, and I remember really liking her books and her movie. Saige gets an A from me!

#6: GOTY 2023 Kavi Sharma

I'm so glad that AG made a theater kid GOTY! That's so cool! I think Kavi is pretty cute------I especially like her shoes, and I like most of her collection. Her dog is also adorable. I haven't read her books, so I don't know much about her story, but she seems cool.

#5: GOTY 2011 Kanani Akina

I think that Kanani is one of AG's cutest dolls! I love her dress and her hair and everything about her! She was one of the first GOTYs with a tropical theme, and I think I liked her books. I love Kanani so much. 

#4: GOTY 2010 Lanie Holland

As an outdoorsy nature lover myself, I love Lanie's focus on nature and science. I think her doll is super cute, and I love her dress. I also read both of her books and they were some of my favorites. I think Lanie is super underrated and really, really cool.

#3: GOTY 2012 McKenna Brooks

I think that McKenna is absolutely adorable. I love most of the stuff in her collection-------especially her loft bed and hamster, and I think it's pretty cool that she's a gymnast [I've always loved watching gymnastics, even though I'm way too tall to do it myself, haha]. I really like her books, and I think her movie is one of the best ones. 

#2: GOTY 2018 Luciana Vega

I love Luciana! She's super cute, and I love her purple hair and galaxy dress. I also love pretty much all of her collection. I love how so much of it is focused on space and astronomy. If I had more money, I would totally buy some of her stuff for my dolls. 

#1: GOTY 2009 Chrissa Maxwell

I don't know why, but I've always loved Chrissa. I think she's one of the cutest AG dolls. The Josefina face mold looks great on her, and I love her hair and her pink dress. I like that she's a swimmer, and that she has llamas for pets, plus I like that she's super into arts and crafts. I also used to LOVE her movie. I watched it all the time. 

Well, that's my ranking of the GOTY dolls. Let me know which ones are your favorite in the comments.
