Corinne is so cute! I’m glad you finally got her. My favorite part of her story is her relationship with Gwynn and then Blix! The sibling dolls are adorable. If I had half the collection I have, I’d have gotten Corinne…but I have quite a few Asian dolls already. I prefer the jewel toned hair, too. I should say I like winter because I was born in winter, but I hate being cold. I get too cold in AC, let alone in freezing temps. Snow is fun, in moderation.
Yeah, temperature control is key for enjoying winter. I love it, but I love it mostly from the comfort of my own home 😂 (or a ski trip). Yay sibling bonds! I’m excited to keep reading. (And I’m glad to know someone else likes the jewel toned hair!) Thanks for being here!
Great video! I had to cackle at the spider you edited in while talking about Claudie's eyelashes 🤣I've always said those bottom ones look SO spidery! Your Corinne is so beautiful - congrats on the addition! 😍
I am also a theatre kid who was disappointed that Kavi's story didn't more accurately reflect theatre kid life. I will say, though, that some of the story in the actual book (not the journals), while having the "must save the production!" drama, also deals with Kavi being jealous that another kid got cast as Annie and then realizing that the kid worked really hard for it and had a lot she had done to get to where she is, and ends up befriending the kid - and being invited to maybe go to theatre camp! Which... didn't get any storytime whatsoever, alas. But there are CRUMBS of a normal theatre kid story! (Kavi is the first GOTY that I bought, specifically because my brain went OMG THEATRE KID and I had to have her; I had Lindsey because I collect the Jewish dolls, too, but otherwise she was my first GOTY!) Your Corinne is just gorgeous! I loved all your commentary and thoughts at the store, it was really enjoyable. I so appreciate the way you edit your videos, they're very engaging. I understand, though, how much time they must take! The outfit you put together for Corinne is very cute!
Thank you so much, fellow theatre kid! You have made me actually want to read Kavi’s book. 😂 And I really appreciate hearing your thoughts on the video style, that’s very encouraging. Thank you for being here!
I was also a grown woman at the AG store kneeling on the ground with SEVERAL boxed dolls around me. I was comparing Melody dolls - 75% of them looked like they had cut their own bangs though (hello modern AG quality control 😅) so it was worth hand picking my Melody. Corrinne is definitely on my list, congrats on getting her! ❤
haha, great video! Your comments (written and verbal and in meme) had me chuckling and grinning. 🙂 Yes, Claudie looks like a really young child, even with the eyelashes! She definitely has the chubby cheeks. Oh, that mini Josefina from 2001 is soo pretty! Some of the earliest mini AG dolls are a little creepy looking, NGL. The CGI is definitely disturbing, IMO. I'm not sure it could be MUCH worse, lol. I don't understand the insistence of the eyelashes on all the new dolls, either, but I don't mind them at all on Evette, for some reason. I'm so sad that my local AG store closed. It was over an hour's drive away so I wasn't there too often, but I did go about once a year. Your baby is too cute, with her chubby little hands and her "talks" Congratulations on your Corinne! You really did get a great one. She looked so cute in both her summer and her autumn outfits. 🙂 So cool that you lived in South Korea for 5 years! (Would love to hear more about that at some time) I totally understand that you don't have a lot of free time to edit videos, there's no way I would have been able to have a youtube channel when my kids were babies and toddlers. I couldn't even pursue my doll hobby other than to hope my daughter would like them so I could "play" with her (she never really did) 😞 Have a great Thanksgiving! We will be in Oregon, near Mt. Hood. Brr.
Yeah, isn’t it weird how the eyelashes work on some and don’t on others? IF their eyes are open, of course 😂 It would be so much better if they reserved the eyelashes for statement dolls that they really serve a purpose on. Like the WBU girls, since it marks them as older, and Nanea and Corinne. Or, like, if they sold official vinyl stick-on lashes. They’re already following what customizers have been doing, why not keep going? But the thing about custom dolls is that NOT EVERYONE wants them. Make it OPTIONAL, American Girl, pleeeeeeaaaaasssse 😫 Yes, the earliest mini dolls are super weird hahahah. But they have their own charm. I’m glad they moved away from the glass eyes, but I’m also glad the glass-eyed ones exist, if that makes sense. But wow, it really took them a long time to figure out the hair! I appreciate your distaste for the CGI 🤣 I’m always stuck between reminding myself that I’m not the target audience and insisting that NO, it doesn’t matter, I would have hated it when I WAS the target audience, too! It feels like it’s pandering, and kind of insulting. Doing this with a baby is definitely kind of insane, but it’s so much fun when it works out! I’d sure love to be more consistent, though. And I’m sorry you didn’t get to share the doll love with your daughter like you wanted, but good on you for embracing it anyway, even if just for yourself! Thank you so much for commenting ☺️ I always look forward to hearing what you have to say, and I’m so glad I could make you smile! Now that I’ve emerged from the fog of editing, I have quite a few of your videos to catch up on! See you over there 😁
The painted lashes have grown on me, but my dolls rarely sleep these days. 😅 118, the pale ghost, is STILL just a bit darker than me. 😂 I love the representation, though. Not all of us can tan. I freckle, I burn, I’m pale.
You should get Evette before she retires! She’s gorgeous, but sadly on her way out. I got mine in March. Highly recommend her. 🥰 Also, my little is at the age where he just wants to run around any store, so AG is out of the question. I gotta go in by myself. I’ve never been to Nashville period. I need to go and visit AG, too - I like to visit every location I can. 😂
Yeaahhh I’ve heard that. Gah. She’s next on the list. Thanks for saying something! I’ve been thinking about it but… I think you’ve convinced me. It also helps that AG just lowered her price to $80. That also feels like a clearing stock thing, so I really need to get on it.
Thanks for the store tour. I love store tours. I love Corinne’s face mold.
Corinne is so cute! I’m glad you finally got her. My favorite part of her story is her relationship with Gwynn and then Blix! The sibling dolls are adorable. If I had half the collection I have, I’d have gotten Corinne…but I have quite a few Asian dolls already.

Corrine is beautiful! I am glad that you were able to add her to your collection.
Thank you!

Congratulations on your Corinne! She’s such an amazing doll!
Thank you! She was definitely a home run for AG.

Thanks! And yes, I would ABSOLUTELY do the same for Melody. The dolls are so inconsistent these days!

😂 I’m sure you still look more alive than 118 does in harsh lighting.
Also, “my dolls rarely sleep these days” 🤣 Fair point!
@@LynnieBird AG store lighting never does any of the dolls justice!

Whoever calls black hair difficult or can’t atleast learn to take care of it. Maybe people should learn.
Exactly ❤️
ABSOLUTELY!
