Yesterday DD and I went to AGPNY for Elizabeth's premiere and came back without Elizabeth!!! [img]eek.gif[/img]
Neither of the two of us liked the doll enough to get her. Yes she is cute, but ELizabeth? She ain't!
DD (almost 9) kept on going back to: her hair and her eyes are wrong, her riding outfit is too pale, her meet dress is too pink, her ball dress is one piece... and so on, and so on...
A chip of the old block, she is!
I liked Elizabeth up to a point, but since finances are tight, we came back home with one outfit for Jose, and the idea of(may be) in the future ordering Lissie's and Elizabeth's tea dresses for Lissie. That is, if she can fit into them, which I doubt.
I would love to be able to adapt Elizabeth's earings for Lissie. I am a sucker for all things sparkly!
I thought the stable was a bit overpriced, and I have trouble justifying the price of the clothes press by looking at the very limited storage space it provides. They did not have the carriage, so I can not comment, but I wouldn't be able to get any of these big items without having to pitch a tent in the backyard (the house I am renting is dinky small!)
All in all: the show and the presentation by the costume historian were great, the munchies were yummy, and the goody bag was cute(an old Meet Felicity poster, a bookmark signed by the author and a replica? of Lissie's windmill) even though they were VERY tight with them (only one per girl, no adults, no excuses!)
We had a blast and , to the chagrin of Visa and Mastercard, came back with a lot less than I expected.
May be we ARE weird! [img]wink.gif[/img]
