Re-introducing my renamed Addy - Alice Walker Robinson. Alice is named after a famous AA author and the first AA to play professional baseball. She sometimes wears glasses, is a little bit old-fashioned (enough so that she can wear Addy's clothing and get away with it). She's definitely a Southern girl and loves fried green tomatoes!!
She is very cute! I love the name you picked out for her. [img]smile.gif[/img] And her story sounds very interesting. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
As a side note, I was looking at your album of your dolls vacations and I just wanted to say I loved it! Especially the picture of #24 near the waterfall. Very beautiful and life-like! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Edited for spelling.

One word: AWESOME!!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
cool! I really like Alice Walker and Addy looks beautiful.
Alice Walker is a great author! Does your girl like to write, too?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Actually, Laura, I think Alice is more reflective so she'd probably be a poet more so than a writer (so, yes, a writer of sorts).Does your girl like to write, too?
Whoa!...Excellent! How neat! I absolutely love that you are interjecting a positive AA History line with your dollie rather than Addy from "slave days". While slavery was a part of American History, it is not the only part of AA American History.
I applaud you...GOOD JOB!and appreciated! [img]wink.gif[/img]

Prasnlrd, my friend at work is planning to get an AA AG for her daughter but refuses to get Addy for that reason. She says she don't want no slave doll. I just adore Addy because of her stories, though. Makes me want to just hug her and kiss her to pieces.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh do not get me wrong! I love Addy, her story, and have all her books. That part of US History cannot be forgotten either. I do not see her as a "Slave" doll either. Her story does not dwell as much on slavery as it does on her new found freedom.Originally posted by Ashley's Mommy:

This is just the Only/One AA doll from the a whole historical line of dolls. Black History in the US cannot be summed up in just this one period of time.

Nancy, I had noticed in your new sig in another post that she was no longer "Miss Addy" and was wondering what made you changed her name. I love her new name and the reason behind it. I also absolutely love the way you photograph your girls in your signature.
