Full circle moment for American Girl right there lel Pleasant Rowland started AG with the intention of being the "anti-Barbie", and now AG is crossing over with the line they once went against.
I really like the pink power suit look. The nighttime one is okay, but the business one is iconic Barbie. I never would have thought to add the additional pieces into Courtney’s world, but they look great. The girl that you put the hat in at the end (in Courtney’s world), the hat made her look like Tiffany in a music video.
@@melangellperry5984 the night look grew on me after recording but the day look is instantly adorable. Haha because I grew up in the 80s, I’m trained to see what suits Courtney’s world. Oh and funny thing about that custom, she reminds me of Debbie Gibson aesthetically, but now I’ve dressed her like her rival Tiffany oops!
@@brutallyhonestdollreviews that’s probably why I enjoy so much pink on my dolls. Oh and I only know about the rings because of the stock photos. All this time 😮
Hi Blaine, I'm loving this outfit so much! I need to thank you for showing how the ring is supposed to sit on the joined fingers. I'd still be living in the dark without that bit of wisdom. Thank you!!! 😊
@@mykls2153 you didn’t know about the rings either?? Seems like no one did-but it’s so obvious one you know right? I’ve been having fun rearranging the rings on all my girls. No more index or pinky rings 🤣
Great Job!!! You are officially an influencer… I just bought the Barbi outfit because of your influence! I agree the daytime look is my favorite also. I will not get my Moana until December 12 shipping, so I will enjoy your videos until then.
@@carolreardon528 uh ohhhhh, what influenced you? Letting Courtney play with the pieces? Hmmm your Moana could ship anytime. Mine shipped Monday past totally unexpectedly.
I'm smitten with those pink and white flats, too!🩷Paired with the pink suit, it looks very grown up 60's also! That two karate diamond ring should be on her left hand so she can play pretend engaged! But, she will be keeping her job after the nuptials so she can maintain her independence! (of course!)😄 I would guess she must be an accountant with that massive calculator in her hand! And with the briefcase filled with very important papers!🤣 Thank you, Blaine! I think overall, this was a cute design for AG, and I hope there are more Barbie outfits to come!👍
@@paulettepalmer4860 yes the shoes are top tier - along with the velvet blazer. Haha if she’s playing as a CEO, she might as well be engaged too. I agree that this crossover is cute - and I’m sure it makes a lot of money for Mattel!
U were smart to get 2 sets. The mix and match theme really works well for this set. The phone is a calculator. They didn't have cell phones back then. Another fun video.
lol, the ring finger!! just went and changed my girlie who has a ring. I guess it was better the AG option than the Barbie rings from the 80s where the ring went through a hole in the hand.
@@kaffrumluvscats wait, does that mean you didn’t realize either or you just thought to move the ring? I had fun swapping my rings around when I realized. Ugh and I forgot about those holes in the Barbie hands!! And you always lost the rings, leaving this weird holes behind!
I can’t unsee the neck joints. Like I have and love Caroline, but I can’t look at her too long because of the cut of most of her wardrobe. The day version of the outfit looks great, but you aren’t the first person I’ve seen talk about the quality of the hat. I do think it fits very well into Courtney’s world! She definitely would’ve been a Barbie girl.
@@settheworldonfire94 exactly! That’s why I’m apprehensive about taking Caroline out of her meet outift: I can use the ribbon on her bonnet to hide all the unsightly cloth and joint parts. Maybe her winter coat will be okay tho. Oh and I’m glad others complained about the felt hat. I don’t want to be too fussy 🫣
Hi Blaine! They look so cute! You are right! The pieces do fit well in courtneys world! 😃 I think evette looks so good in that bright pink! Your dolls are so adorable! Take care and have a great rest of your day!!!❤️
@@robinkrueger5977 hey Robin 👋🏼 I almost didn’t return Evette to Julie’s world because I loved the look on her - but then I transferred it to Martiza and I love it on her too 🤣
So fun! You’re telling me that the rings are for their joined fingers??? 😅😂 Also- I had the same name dilemma, but according to whoever told me, Makena is pronounced “ma-Kay-nah”! ❤❤
@@americangirlfilms you didn’t know about the rings either?? They look much better this way, so I’m going pay better attention to stock photos now 🤣 Okay I’ll try to remember the pronunciation. That one make sense
omg i love that white hat on your 80s inspired doll the bracelets and earrings too just so cool and different, it made me subscribe ive just bought some BFC ink dolls as i like articulation, but i know its going to be hard to fit shoes and clothes to fit them, i better learn to sew
@@JULS-SW hmmm maybe I should give that hat another chance on her! I was hasty after seeing it on as flimsier than expected. I looked up BFC dolls. They’re so slim compared to other 18” dolls! I wonder if 14” doll clothes would fit them, like wellie wishers or ruby red.
@@DisBlaine yes the quality of that hat is bad for the price, I could never afford American girl dolls, BFC are skinny but I fell in love with their faces, we have designafriend in UK but tbh I want trendy grown up clothes not frilly pretty things there is definitely a gap in the market for high fashion 18 inch doll clothes,, I used to reroot vintage pedigree sindys so I tend to buy second hand and make them my own I love a rescue job x
LOVE those Barbie clothes boxes. Drawers that you can create a chest of drawers. Can this mean more outfits will be released to utilize those "draw boxes" ?
@@1964chopper the drawers would be almost human sized-and the air suction makes them hard to open and close. But the box is really pretty, so now I feel like I can’t throw them out 😭
Makena looks like a cute little adult CEO here. I adore that look on her. Evette somehow feels like a different version of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman here, like I could see her out with friends after the end of the movie. (Or maybe this is one of her new friends she made?) I love how the rings can be placed in the other fingers!
@@DarcysNova626 I loved corporate Makena so much I kept her in the outift. But since I had to return Evette to Julie’s world, Martiza is wearing the night look. Ohhhh the big curls, that’s probably what’s making you see pretty woman. But now I’m seeing sex and the city Carrie. Or a Canadian singer from the 90s Amanda Marshall. I feel like no one else knew about the ring trick either!
If you put it the opposite way that you'd imagine the center across the neck joint and then each strap down the back it'll cover both the neck joint and the shoulder joints... And that is kind of an '80s like idea of how to wear a scarf
@@marylopezoficial1260 hopefully they change their mind and sell these in stores. As of now it’s supposed to be online only. But so were the frozen dolls until they didn’t sell as well as expected
Blaine, every time I watch your videos, I end up buying something from whatever you showing that I don't have and I end up falling in love with you are costing me a lot of money l o l. I went back to the american website, and yes, I ordered another Barbie outfit.
I love the outfit I am putting it on my 127. She will be black Barbie or Christie. Growing up I always got the Christie doll since that was what was available as a doll of color. The outfit is true to the original Barbie. I want I get a second set but waiting as I purchased a lot with the Black Friday sales. I dream of Johnny suggested using another ag pink tule skirt to use with the night outfit. Yvette looks great. I might put one of the looks on my makeana that I took out the hair. The hat won’t fit on her head I need a hat pin to keep it on. To use the hat with Makeana I need to use the one that still has braids.
@@nailahvenable7989 so you called her Christie too? I remember seeing black Barbie’s with Christie on the box, so they must’ve changed that later. Did Johnny say what pink skirt to use? I don’t think I have a pink AG tulle skirt. It would be a lot cheaper than buying a second set lol. I also like having 2 scarves and rings as well. Yeah that hat is too big! No idea why
Full circle moment for American Girl right there lel
Pleasant Rowland started AG with the intention of being the "anti-Barbie", and now AG is crossing over with the line they once went against.
@@blakegriplingph isn’t it so funny PR sold her company to the very enemy?? So strange, as if she wanted AG to become Barbie dolls one day.
I can't quite forgive her for that, but as the Godfather said,
They probably gave her an offer she couldn't refuse. 😊@@DisBlaine

@@scarletsavenger1367 if I hadn’t read the listing carefully, I might not have noticed either! I think some pics made it look like 2 skirts. ☠️
I think you chose perfect dolls to model those two looks. They look adorable!
@@charissabihl1731 it was hard returning Evette to Julie’s world after the video. Now Makena and Maritza are Barbie girls lol
@@DisBlaine ❤️
These pink colours were such an essential piece of our childhoods. And I would never have known about the ring if you hadn't told us.
@@brutallyhonestdollreviews that’s probably why I enjoy so much pink on my dolls. Oh and I only know about the rings because of the stock photos. All this time 😮

The dolls look amazing. I love using pieces for Courtney’s gang.
@@steph585 haha I’ve been having a lot of fun letting them play with the pieces.
The daytime look is definitely my favorite, but they’re both super cute. My daughter will be getting this outfit and the Moana doll for Christmas.
@@princesssadieloo oh wow she’s going to love them so much- and so are you, so I hope Moana really does end up under the tree and not in your room 😆
