Dec. 21st, 2010 10:22 amTis the holiday season and time to babble.
Cass was not amused by the super lightness of Kanani's being.
Yesterday the AG development site exploded with fun goodies and previews of the coming year's stuff. Linky.
First up, Kanani from our last post. I'll admit it. In my head I was sort of hoping for a doll form of one of my friends from elementary/middle school, or possibly her older sister. Instead I get a (hopefully) medium/tan skinned Jess mold with hair that is essentially the same color as her skin. I... don't really like non-contrast like that. It's actually not as bad for the more extremes (so you can be super!pale or super!dark with the matching hair colors and it'll look a bit startling, which is a contrast in and of itself, yes?) but with the middle ground it just looks enh. And it tends to look bad on people. I cannot tell you how many girls/women come in and they've fake baked themselves to the exact color of their hair color and it's just off-putting to say the least.
Anyway. AG is known for taking crap-tacular pictures of their own products (... I don't understand. Your company produces these. We're no longer in the 80's when your options might have been more limited. People can photograph these dolls and they do it well. WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS?!) so I'm hoping that come the 1st, people will flood the boards with pictures. Or hell, larger pictures when she's officially released will do her more justice.
But Impy! you might cry out. Didn't you just blow most of your money on gifts for other people? Indeed I did. But a) I get paid again at the end of the year AND my aunt and uncle thoughtfully sent me a Christmas check that I have spent the last 14 hours or so fantasizing on how to spend. This was made much, much more interesting by the development site's next round of goodies:
New. Historical. Outfits. :D In order:
( Things got longwinded )
There's new stuff for the bitties and the MyAG dolls, but meh, although maybe to the Valentine pajamas?
Anyone remember what else I was going to say? Me neither. Need to wrap presents. Do not want to. I do have to work through the holiday, and I suspect I have to work through next week's holiday as well. Bother. Well, maybe my sneaky plans will work anyway?
My hands are now so cold that I must away.
there is nothing that would give you the hint that she is "ethnic."
shes a white girl with a deep beach tan.
she is cute though.
