Who is the third doll that Penny picked out at American Girl Place New York during our vacation?
Drum roll please!
Dadadadadadadadada....
Rebecca Rubin!
Yes, yes- maybe it is not such a surprise that Rebecca was purchased. Especially since she was standing right in the doorway of AGPNY upon arrival, taunting Penny as she walked in. Other dolls on the wish list will just have to wait a bit longer to be purchased. Rebecca was calling out to be bought. So into the bag she went, with her Meet Accessories.
Our pictures below show her right out of her box, minus her "gold" hair clip. It was falling out of her shiny locks as she was taken out of the box and when it was opened by Penny's strong human hands it snapped in half. Yes, brand-new and broken. Ho-hum. Not the thickest plastic ever created on Earth, needless to say. You are all forewarned to be careful with your Rebecca hair clip.
So Rebecca's hair had to be redone with an elastic and some ribbon. Penny's comments on Rebecca's curly hair included the following: "These curls are really difficult to manage," "The hair pick is only making them frizz out more," and "Oh My Lord, I may need to straighten this hair some!" AG curly wigs + a semi-OCD person = frustration. How does anyone ever manage to work with Nicki's hair? (FYI- Nicki is a Limited Edition Girl of the Year doll with way, way more curls than Rebecca.)
Of course, once most of the curly hair problems were sort of dealt with (i.e. the taming of the wig), it was determined that Rebecca's hair looks really fantastic in photographs. Which makes Penny think twice about straightening the hairs.
Rebecca is quite a pretty young girl. But she kind of looks worried. It seems like the Chrissa dolls also have this slight worried look to their eyebrow/eye region. Maybe it is just in my head though... anyway, let's just call her pensive instead of worried. Currently "Pensive Rebecca" is lost. Penny doesn't want a 1914 doll. So where should she be placed in the historical timeline? Who should she be?
For now, we will show many pictures of her in the 1914 meet outfit below. In our next post we will show you some of the photographs Penny's sister took in AGPNY, including the many many Rebeccas and some of the items in her collection and display cases. After that post, we might return to this whole "Who is Rebecca?" issue and ask for your help with this matter.
Hope you enjoyed our "big" reveal. Until next time, toodles, pips, and cheerios!
