Gender Neutral Doll

Hi Guys!

This is not AG specific, but, as a doll enthusiast, I was super excited to see that Mattel is releasing its first ever gender neutral doll. As much as I am a firm believer that a doll is just a toy to be loved no matter your gender, we cannot deny that society would dictate dolls be neglected by 50% of the children in the world. Because of these stigma, many of the world's dolls are created for and targeted at girls.

It's Order Day!

Hey Guys! My Ebay order arrived and as promised I am here to share it with you. I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. My order came all the way from Hong Kong in only ten days! Can you believe that and was super affordable. I recognize that an outfit is very light but you can pay upwards to 50.00 CAD to send a doll from USA to Canada and I paid about 8.00 (no extra customs either) to bring it from Hong Kong. The condition is new. They did not mail it in an authentic American Girl box, but it was wrapped in AG tissue paper. I ordered Julie's Floral Jumpsuit which is a retired outfit that sells for upwards to 60.00 USD (close to 80.00 CAD), I paid only 20.00 USD which with conversion and shipping came out to about 35.00 CAD.

I haven't added julie to my collection yet but I've attache...

First Addition

I adopted Lea Clark today. She came from a good loving home where she was loved gently mind you. Her friend decided that she would like an apple watch and therefore it was time for Lea to move on to a home that would love her as unconditionally. She was never played with and even her mom said she would be devastated if she thought someone else was going to be playing with her. I assured her that Lea would be loved and cared for as gently as she had. Lea has the most beautiful sunkissed hair you've ever seen. In time I will buy her a camera so she can continue to live her dream. ~Athena~
