The Plaid Piper: Part One

AG loves plaid. There's these...

And these....

And also these...

Plus these...

Any lover of plaid should be overjoyed.

We sort of like plaid.

But in general it reminds us of Nirvana concerts.

Don't know who Nirvana is?

Ask your parents.

We like these types of modern plaid interpretations....

But we wouldn't buy them for the humans in this household.

In fact, the main clothes-buying human has one plaid shirt and one plaid dress.

And trust me, she has A LOT of clothes.

But we do buy plaid things for the dolls on a regular basis.

So when AG released the Plaid Party dress, we considered it.

We played with the color scheme and decided we would have bought 4 of these dresses.

But not the one they made.

We really, really, really don't like the color scheme of it.

Oh well.

It is worth buying it to get the shoes?

Not so much. They are tempting. But no.

Then there is the Easy Breezy Outfit.

We were skeptical at first.

But then we caved and bought it.

It's pretty cute.

The colors online are much bolder and brighter than they are in reality, fyi.

But besides the occasional plaid MyAG outfit here and there, we tend to only purchase plaid historical items from AG.

How about from handmade sellers?

Well, that's a different story.

Stay tuned for The Plaid Piper: Part Two. :-)

Two New MyAGs: The Classic Mold Conspiracy

Happy Fourth of July Americanos.

Be sure to keep your pets indoors during this joyous day, filled with beautiful fireworks that scare the poop out of animals across the nation.

___________

Today we discuss another thing everyone has been talking about.

And we have been mum about for awhile on here.

The two new MyAG dolls.

#59

aka Beatrice with slightly darker hair

Even the same eyebrows and eye color.

and #60

aka Adanya with light skin and shorter hair

Even the same eyebrows and eye color.

We like #60.

#59 is useful for people with that coloring.

But we aren't scrambling to buy either one.

Shouldn't AG be releasing dolls that I am scrambling to buy?

Yes #58, from the previous release is super cute and tempting.

But black and multi-racial people do sometimes have non-brown-colored eyes AG.

Also where is the not!Kanani -- a dark or medium skin Jess mold doll?

Or both?

Where is the medium skin Sonali mold doll that is only available right now from the Doll Hospital as a doll without hair?

And why can't we have a light skin Sonali mold doll?

We got two more light skin dolls.

Whoopie.

And they both have the classic mold.

Dude.

What about a Jess mold doll with something other than brown eyes?

What about a Marie-Grace mold doll without pincurls?

And maybe even non-blue eyes? Gasp.

Or even medium skin? Double gasp.

AG, you have 6 other face molds and most of your MyAG line already has
the classic mold face.

Your current GOTY is even white with a classic mold face.

(Kudos for the fresh hair color and new eye color though.)

One might argue that white people are the ones buying the dolls - hence why most doll lines feature 80% white dolls with the same face mold.

Are white people really the only ones who buy dolls???

No.

And are white people only going to buy white dolls???

No again.

We own 11 out of the 15 currently offered dark and medium skin dolls
and we land squarely into the white demographic.
We're so white we are one step away from being albino.
Our skin color has never stopped us from loving dark and medium skin dolls;
in fact, they are some of our favorites.

The need to celebrate humanity's diversity of features, eye colors, and skin colors should be obvious to a company that focuses on self-worth and freedom of expression.

Get it together AG.

We want creativity from you.

Creativity.

Think about all those people buying pre-loved dolls off of Ebay 
to make into custom dolls.
Think about all that money.

Then think about all the money they spend on other-brand wigs.

Maybe you should beat them to the punch, AG.

Start making MyAG dolls that people will sell their first-born in order to buy.
