I plan on telling my daughter (in full hypocrisy/parent mode) that she cannot have a $90 doll while little girls in Los Angeles don't have enough food to eat. If she wants me to spend $90 she can pick a shelter/aid organization so we can help a "real" American Girl. Cheers, James

it's really a shame...this used to be a fantastic company, focussed on getting girls to read and learn about history and use their imagination and not turn into britney spears at age eleven. but then pleasant rowland sold and it's turned into consumerism mcdisneyworld.

Burn it to the ground and forcibly sterilize anyone who's ever frequented the place.
