Has anyone seen the new American Girl Doll? I would have been ALL OVER THIS when I was seven years old. I personally had Addy and Kirsten, and my number one goal in LIFE at that age was to wear the life size copies of the doll outfits. I don’t know why I wanted to dress like a life size revolutionary era doll, but yeah, seriously my greatest dream. My cousin Evi had some of the outfits, which, by the way, were absurdly expensive and I thought she looked AWESOME! I was super jealous.

Anyway, the new doll has a totally fantastic outfit and she even lives like ten blocks away from me on the lower east side. I want her sassy red dress and sweet white boots. I hope in the last book she goes to NYU just like me and then goes to 1904 version of MisShapes.

Monique’s American Girl doll lives under the stairs at her house and still get dressed up for christmas.
