lena loves ag

I'm NEVER creeped out by dolls, but there's something about her that is really irking me. I think its her eyes? if her eyes were slightly different, maybe slightly closer together I think I'd like her.

There is something to be said about how to debut of a 10.5 inch doll, which is super cool by the way, is a Disney collab. This is a entirely new type of doll.. and they decided to use the body first on a DISNEY collab?

what.

I actually am super stoked to have a different size of doll, wish she was an original character rather than a Disney collab though.. I hope AG does something better than a Disney collab with this new size of doll, hopefully something historical????

A modern indigenous girl

A recent class discussion has had me realize how little representation there is for present day indigenous people. I love Kaya, I think she is amazing representation and so respectful, but why stop there? Indigenous people aren’t a thing of the past, so why not represent a modern day girl? Her collection could be so so cute, I'm thinking she could be a crafty girl!! 

A black girl 

After Gabriella, I think black girls need a proper black GOTY. Gabriella was so disappointing and sad to see the first (and only omg) black GOTY be so lazily put together, I'd love to see a proper, well thought out black GOTY. I hope she can get a hobby that isn’t basic and stereotypical for black girls, maybe something creative or something in STEM! I'd also love to see braids or locs on a doll, we started making strides with Makena and Evette, then kinda paused. PLEASE AG GIVE US MORE PROTECTIVE HAIRSTYLES.

A (physically) disabled girl 

I’m very sad that this hasn't happened yet, the closest we got to a disabled character is Maryellen (correct me if I'm wrong), and her disability is really never mentioned or visible. While yes, people can absolutely have invisible disabilities (I myself am chronically ill), I think having a visibility disabled girl would be amazing. I am imagining a character with cerebral palsy with AFOs and forearm crutches that are pink and sparkly. I think we are long overdue for a disabled GOTY. (thinking of down syndrome Barbie’s AFOs right about now..)

another stem girl 

I love Luciana, she is one of my favorite dolls in my collection, I love her collection and all she stands for! (Latinas in STEM!!) I really hope we can get another GOTY with an interest in STEM, I feel like for the past couple of years, the GOTYs have been interested in very stereotypically ‘girl’ hobbies, come on AG lets switch it up! Let the girls get their hands dirty! I’d love to see a coding, mechanic, or engineer doll! 

a doll like z yang

I loved Z, I think she was such a wonderful concept and she came at just the right time with the boom of AGTube. I want a similar doll to her again, I love the idea of a doll with a blog/vlog. I think that would be so cool. I loved Z’s collection, I never had the doll, but I still have the camera set and some clothes and things. Imagine a little dolly ringlight!! So cute!

i was missing my dolls, so when i went home for labor day weekend i decided to bring luciana back with me!! shes going to be my study buddy, ill probably bring her around campus with me because why not?

featuring my many many smiskis (they aren't all pictured in obsessed with them)
