Elizabeth looks.................. hmmm what do you think???

She is a real beauty alright, but everytime I see her; I see Marisol. It is as if I cannot connect with the doll as someone seperate from Marisol.

She is a beautiful doll though!

Height automatically gives someone the appearance of being "superior." That's why photographers usually place men at a higher height than their wives, and the children below the mother's height, no matter how tall you really are! Studies have been done where photos were taken with men seated at a shorter "height" than women, and they were perceived as weak. If both Felicity and Elizabeth are sitting, hopefully the illusion will go away. But it is normal for us, for some reason, to perceive people of height as being superior. Kind of stinks for those of us who are shorter than our family members [img]wink.gif[/img] . . .

I just think that Elizabeth doesn't look colonial. She looks like a girl of today playing dress up in really fancy colonial period clothes. Felicity looks more genuine, and more like she belongs dressed like that.
It's hard because in the Felicity books it seemed as if Elizabeth was the voice of reason, and the practical one. Yet her clothes are not practical and like her character at all. She was a quiet kind of mousy person. Quiet people wouldn't be running around in hot pink trying to be noticed. It's just a shame how they changed someone like Elizabeth that we older AG fans have knwon differently for many years

I still need to read the book, Ashley, but I think Elizabeth didn't have a say in the choice of color for the pink dress? I would think in those days it was the parents who decided on what kind of dresses their children wore and not like it's customary today, have the girls pick out their own dresses.
