Hi everyone,
I recently heard that a doll company called Carpatina is making a colonial boy doll! It's truly a dream come true, since they are making him look historically accurate. He has the right hair, hat and everything:

So, I didn't make a blog post about American Girl turning down my idea to make a Ben Davidson doll (they couldn't do it since they said they aren't allowed to use costumer's ideas).

I was too upset at the time to even think of making a blog post. (I am not saying that I don't like AG, I was just was disappointed in them.) However, just after they got back to me, I found out that Carpatina had announced they were making a colonial boy doll, and I found it even more interesting when I discovered he had all the things I had wanted Ben to have. (Minus looking like how they portrayed him in Felicity's movie.)
I found this too exciting not to blog about. :)

What do you think of the new boy doll? What is your favorite historical time period(s)?
Love,

P.S. Happy Hobbit Day! Today is Bilbo's and Frodo's birthday.
Awesome! Can you do more like this?
ReplyDeleteThank you. When you say "more like this" do you mean making posts about what doll companies are doing? Or something else?

ReplyDeleteI think this Colonial boy doll is absolutely adorable! Carpetina, you said? I gotta look them up...
ReplyDeleteAnd what is my favorite historical time period? Whew... that's a tough one. I love the dresses of the Georgian era (i.e. the era of Jane Austen's novels) a.k.a. the Regency period, but for men's clothing, I'm a big fan of the medieval Celts.
I came to view your latest blogs and give you a gem, Quin ley! And thank you, too, for the feedback on my Romeo and Juliet film. Know I just need to muster up the courage to follow through with the changes that need done.
Whoops! I see now that my name wasn't included in my comment about the Regency period and the medieval Celts. This is Chelly Wood of the dot com by the same name. I was using my sister's computer...
ReplyDeleteUgh. Now I've read through my comment and I see that I had a type-o. My sister's computer is super sensitive and deletes stuff at random! That wasn't supposed to say "give you a gem..." it was supposed to say, "and give you my opinion on cool doll-related questions. You're a gem, Quin ley!"
