impyFirst up, after reading the sneak peek for Maryellen's first book, I'm dying at all the people suddenly fawning all over her. Why? Because she's awfully similar to Molly and the same people flipping out suddenly over ME hate Molly. *eyes roll out of skull*
Second, I'm reserving all final judgment (as much as these things are ever final) until I see things exactly as they should be experienced in their full release glory. But as it stands right now, I'm pretty underwhelmed. It's possible Mums will see things and shriek and that will alter my perception. It's possible that I just think that another goddamned classic mold with hazel eyes is just too, too much at this point.
That said, in certain shots she reminds me of Renee O'Connor from Xena and uh, that's a dangerous association for me to make. Because then I will NEED her.
ME herself. Socks, darling. You need socks. Even in the south, sugar. Especially in the south with those shoes. My ankles hurt just lookin' at you. /southern fried accent
Purse to match her shrug, gloves, and pearls of course.
I... liked this better in theory. I do like the bow in her hair, and it's possible this is just an example of their failtography at work. We'll see.
If you're thinking this looks like a bridesmaid dress and not a birthday dress, you're sort of right. It's both! I think I'd like this on another doll. Sorry, Maryellen.
Probably my favorite outfit of the bunch. I want it. Waaaaaaant.
School set to go with her checked school dress.
This is one of those shots I think, "Why is Gabby from Xena in doll form?" Which is funny because I don't think I particularly care for this pajama set. Go figure. Again, I could totally change my mind.
That just looks painful.
I like this one more than I thought I would, so that's a nice surprise.
Skating accessories. That are cute!
Annnnnnnd I like this one, too.
Pink makes ME look more blonde than strawberry. Also, hazel eyes. Meh.
Her crinoline to make things properly poofy.
Sofa bed that is allegedly $150. Uhhh... That's... a thing, I guess.
End tables complete with special lamp and TV Guide. I... think this is cute. When it goes on sale, guys. When it goes on sale.
Jukebox that you can hook up your mp3 player to. For $90, it'd better do something else, too.
You can apparently download an app to make the TV come aliiiiiiiiiiive. And those are indeed encyclopedias down there on the bottom shelf.
The Diner that you'll use to make the Peach Pit.
Her dog, Scooter. Who is supposed to be exceptionally old and not all bright eyed and springy of step. Whatever, he's adorable and he's also on the list of wants.
These are all pretty short thoughts but I'm falling asleep as it is and I wanted to share with you. Thoughts? Opinions? Ramblings?
And expect a WTF about the PLL finale later, too.
