AG for 2011
Dec. 30th, 2010 11:38 amKanani's Catalog is out. Sort of.
It's cold so I may lose interest in this fairly quickly, but until then, let's babble. So. Kanani is the bastard lovechild (redundant, I know) of Jess and Marisol, with Lanie's and Mia's eyes and Kailey's aquatic sensibilities. And she's got a dog like Nicki and Lindsey. Good freakin' lord, she's almost as divisive as Lanie was.
Anyway. Kanani is Hawaiian. Or she's supposed to be. The big stink is that when you think Hawaii, you probably do not think people who look like this doll. I can't really blame people for being upset over the repeated whitewashing of the GOTY line. With that said, I'm going to buy Kanani unless someone gets their hands on her early and she's not medium skinned after all. I suspect she's one of those dolls who looks kind of meh or cutely meh in official photography, but is absolutely adorable in person. As of right now, I plan on ordering her the moment she is available.
In addition to Kanani, I'll be ordering her accessories because her dog is adorable. I'll probably be skipping her beach outfit set, although this is one of those things that may change as the year progresses since it's purple... and I am weak. Ditto on the seal, though it's not purple, but a whole dollar goes to the NWF. Wow. [/sarcasm] It's cute, we'll see.Won't be blowing $115 on the Shave Ice Stand, no matter how cute the idea is. Will probably buy her Aloha Outfit because, well, who doesn't need more t-shirts and jeans, even if they are capris? I'm thinking no to the Lu'au set because that shade of pink hurts my eyes. Her pajamas are going to come to live with her, too. I like her chair and ottoman set, but I don't think I can justify that price for it and I'm doubting it will go on sale anytime so... sadness.
Overall, she and Lanie both interest me about the same amount, it's just that while I do have Jess, I don't have Marisol and Kanani might help eliminate the want for her. I already have blonds so thus Lanie did not come home with me. Ultimately a small portion of Lanie's stuff did. Her pajamas, her accessories (bunny! laptop!), and her nature outfit all came home.
But Impy, you cry, how will you be pulling this off? Duh. I get paid tonight (I should be, anyway) and my aunt and uncle very thoughtfully sent me Christmas money so if I'm so inclined, I could go BIG for my belated gift. Or I could be sensible. But I like the fact that I have the option to go big.
Then there's the new historical stuff.
Kaya, Josefina, Addy, Rebecca, Kit, Molly, and Julie get stuff. I do not particularly want Kaya's or Kit's, although Ruthie may change my mind on Kit's. Josefina's will probably wait, but I'm wanting the others. At the moment I'm thinking going for Rebecca's and one of the other's, but again, I might go big.
Need to find food. Oh, and they'll be doing a new mini each month, starting with Samantha. "But wait, the minis are already out!" you say. No. These are limited edition ones dressed in their holiday outfits. Huzzah?
