Girl of the Year 2013

[Kassidy]

I'm allergic to cats and dogs. When my dream is to be a vet, my allergies aren't helping much

DollDiaries has a pic of her!

[Kassidy]

She is so cute!

[Dakota]

I know! I love her! I'm so glad they have a red head again! Five years is too long, in my opinion!

It's Ok, Annie

Written by me previously:

The GotY's hair pattern

Dark Brown
Blonde
Tan
Black
Caramel Brown
Red
Dark Brown
Blonde
Tan
Tan (strange...)

To keep with the pattern, Saige will need to have black hair.

Or, they skipped black hair, McKenna has caramel, and Saigewill have red hair.



I guess I was right!

[NatKaya]

I mean, with the second part about red hair.

Right now, with what I've seen of her, I think she looks like a cross between MAG 33 and Caroline. Maybe I'll like her a little more after I read her books.

WELL DONE, American Girl! You've actually used another realistic hair color!

I liked McKenna's hair because it was a more realistic shade of blonde and brown. One you might actually see on a girl. Lanie, Julie, #22, etc.- sure, it's a real hair color, but hair that blonde is rare. I know a boy whose hair is white, like Lanie's. No yellow at all, it's just white. And I know of one girl with hair that's close to that, yet still not all the way there (like Lanie's). Yeah, it's very rare of a hair color and while I don't mind them making one or two dolls like that, they keep coming out with unrealistic hair colors.

Saige's hair is AMAZING. It's not just generic brown, it also has some reddish tint to it, which a lot of girls have.

She also has amazing bluish eyes and freckles. She does look like #55, but I'm one of those people that frankly don't give a poop. One thing that bothers me is when people complain about a doll looking like a GOTY from two years ago or a JLY. I was GLAD McKenna looked like a combination of Chrissa and Elizabeth. Those were both dolls I nearly regretted not getting. Sure, go ahead and get angry about it. While everyone is complaining about that, I'm just going to go buy the doll and enjoy what everyone else is missing out on. XD

I don't think she looks like #33. #33 has a more strawberry blonde coloring. Saige has reddish hair that's more on the brown side.

[NatKaya]

Well I'm sorry, LaurCat, but it seems to me AG is doing things that are repetitive these days. I mean, Caroline looks like Lanie, and Saige seems like a cross between Caroline and Felicity. And I'll probably like her later, like maybe when I've read her books or seen her collection.

[NatKaya]

Sigh. We've been too busy being hyped up about Saige to notice McKenna is dying. She's already lost her starter collection, everything for girls to wear, her practice wardrobe (I wanted that ), her performance leotard, her rain gear, and her fancy outfit.

Poor McKenna.

Say, does anyone know Saige's last name yet?

[NatKaya]

AAAAANNNNNDDDD..... now McKenna's team gear and her meet accesories are sold out. Sigh. Poor Kenna.

The remaining items from McKenna's collection:
Her books and movie (but of course)
McKenna doll and book
McKenna's school outfit
McKenna's dog (Cooper)
McKenna's pajamas (amazingly unlike anything else in her collection, this isn't backordered)
McKenna's loft bed set (which is now backordered until next March)
McKenna's beam and bar
McKenna's cast and crutches

Everything else is gone.

I got the november catolog and noticed McKenna wasn't in it. Shortly after, she began to sell out.

Poor Kenna.

[NatKaya]

UPDATE! McKenna's pajamas are now sold out. The weirdest thing? They weren't even backordered. Remaining in McKenna's collection, not including the books and movie:

McKenna the doll (backordered until December 12)
McKenna's school outfit (backordered until December 7)
McKenna's dog (backordered until January 4)
McKenna's loft bed (backordered until March 1)
McKenna's beam & bar (backordered until March 1)

If you were planning on getting McKenna or anything in her collection, hurry. She is selling out fast. Only five items plus the books and movie remain.

Cooper, McKenna's dog, is now backordered until January 18.
Isn't it weird how McKenna, Girl of the Year 2012 has the majority of her remaining collection backordered until 2013? my sister has a simple solution- "Saige will be late," she says.

[NatKaya]

OK, I just looked to see if the AGFMB was up, it was, and there was a thread about Saige on eBay, so I clicked the link, and it showed pictures of her and her book, and I noticed on the back of her book it said her name was Saige Copeland.

Meh.

If I got her, I might change her last name.

If I get her, I'll change both!!
