Disappointment

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Well, so, American Girl has given us another white doll of the year.

Dangit, that's 13 out of 15 white Girls of the Year--14 out of 17 if you count the two "Best Friend" dolls. Or, possibly 14 out of 15, because the two dolls of color were both half-white. (That's how math works, right?)

So, yeah, looks like there's still some work to do there. But it'll happen eventually. I have faith in the gradual progress of our society!

And I have faith that someday they'll realize that adding all the awesome accessories in with a $500 playset means I'm not gonna buy them. Buggrit.

Yeah, I love looking through the catalogs at all the cool stuff, but then I check the prices and NOPE. It would be nice if they sold pieces individually instead of sets, though sometimes you can get decent deals on ebay for that.

As for the doll of the year, it doesn't seem like much, but then I look at the 'design your doll' section and they have way more possibilities than they used to. So there is progress.

You can't design a doll. You can only select from their range of choices.
