I'm going to need both Kaya and Addy in my collection soon too! Hmmm... *plots to save money for yet another AG!*
We love her too!! I ordered her and Nellie for Christmas 2004 and when they came I opened the boxes and just couldn't stop staring at them they are soooo gorgeous!!!!!!! And I love Kaya because she is so uniquely different.
And LOL I thought that was a stain on the dress too!!! Then I realized it was from the story after I read about it. [img]redface.gif[/img]

I'm so glad you love your Kaya. [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img] I love mine, too - she is one of my favorite dolls, and has my absolute favorite face mold. It seems like a lot of people don't really like her that much, so I'm always thrilled to see another Kaya convert. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Congrats on your new beauty!
The "smudge" is supossed to be a deer tail. My Kaya's dress does not have it and I wish it did.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Mine has it and it is dark brown with a red tint... which is where I can see the berry story coming from. But I'm not sure thats what it is supposed to be. I think the deer tail is more likely, because when I looked at the book illustrations, all the females have one on their outfit.Originally posted by QNPoohBear:

I do not think this is a berry stain as the CS lady told me that they had to put it on there to be culturally accurate. She had no idea what that ment (symbolizim wise)
I will tell you one thing about her in the catalogue and on the web page, the pictures are MOST uncomplimentry. Her face looks flat and almost squished... but in person she is absolutly LOVELY. I think that my home picture (Taken in a hurry because my camera is all goobered up) captured her true spirit much more than AG has of yet.
I admit I fell in love with Kaya through her stories, and with the force push/pull of MissMooMoo I commited to buy her... and I can honestly say I am not the least bit disappointed.
If you have ever hesitated about getting Kaya, because you aren't sure about how she looks in the catalogue pics... hesitate no longer she is no less than STUNNING
Again I say she is in a WHOLE AG league of her own. They better get more stuff for her... because besides Nellie and I can say that Kaya is the only other doll I'll be collecting EVERYTHING for.
Just to clarify, I didn't say it was from eating berries. I meant it made sense to me that the mark would be made with berry juice or stain. In Kaya's time all dyes were made of something found in nature. It's the correct coloring for many types of beries, but certainly not all berries.
Her love of berries is mentioned in her books, at least twice.
YEP YEP YEP!!!! I have her too and love her to pieces!!! [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img]
She is indeed a beautiful dollie! Congratulations!..and give her a <font size="5">BIG</font> [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img] from me!

ah ok that makes sense... you are right the dye of the berry would be used as a permanite way to decorate her dress... its all soo clear now!
You bet prsnlrd I will read her a bed time story tonight that envolves Emperor prsnlrd and Darth Ria! mwahaha... got to start em out young.
