What's happening in this picture 2# (+ Winning Caption)



                                   Hi everyone, it's been a while since I have done
                                   What's Happening in This Picture? 
                                    Most recently one of the captions won
                                   (which is the one you will see below).

I tried to put most of what was in the caption into the picture, but the caption was long!:)
I said something similar to what Liz says when someone's caption wins in Annabeth's speech bubble. 

 Here is the winning caption: 


click on the picture to see the words better!:) 
The winning caption by Anoymous: 

"My ears hurt!" said Legolas. 
"Well, if you didn't want people tugging on your ears all night, you should have gone as something other than an elf!" said Hermione. 
"At least they just wanted to know how you got your ear tips to stay on. Everyone kept asking me about my mom and whether or not Percy was coming..." said Annabeth.
"I know how that feels, whenever I wear my Gryffindor robes, everyone wants to know where Harry is or if I can make something levitate!" said Hermione.
"Well, you looked beautiful tonight as Belle!" said Annabeth. "But Legolas, you really need to remember that you're not in Middle Earth anymore. It was a party and it was supposed to be fun. You really scared that boy in the Orc costume, when you shot the arrow across the room. You scared me, too! I'm glad Hermione brought her wand and froze the arrow in mid-air!"
"And I'm glad everyone thought it was just an illusion," said Hermione, "I don't like having to do magic in front of a bunch of muggles!"

                               And a brand new picture for you to caption!:

An Autumn Day Photo shoot


Hi everyone, 
Autumn is one of the best seasons to take photos of your dolls outside, 
it isn't too hot or too cold, and the leaves are nice to have in the photos. 
Anyway here is the photo shoot: 





I like this photo because it looks like an 
photograph or painting in the way that her skirt is around her.







I like the way this picture turned out. 


Originally I hoped the camera would focus on her eye, 
instead it focused on her braid. 








I like the angle of these two photos. 

--------------------------------

Which photo is your favorite? and what is your favorite season? 

Love, 
-Quinley 
P.S. I recently added Felicity's and Marie-Grace's profile to the Meet My American Girl dolls page.

Elizabeth and Ben "Meet Outfit" drawings

Hi everyone, 
after I made this post I figured that I should draw some pictures of 
what the dolls' "Meet outfits" could look like (here they are): 

To draw Elizabeth's outfit, I had to look at some colonial dresses. 
I had to look at some of the covers of the Felicity books, and
I intended to make it look a little like Elizabeth's old dress, but not too much like it. 




I enjoyed drawing Ben's outfit. I had to look at a picture of him to draw it...
though I had to find a close up of his hat. I don't know if it turned out as well as the rest of the outfit. 
Also I think that if American Girl makes Ben into a doll, they should use either Maryellen's face mold or Julie's, with a slight change of nose and mouth. 

-----------------------------
I hope you enjoyed reading the post... 

Do you like my drawings of the possible "Meet outfits"? 
Love,
-Quinley

P.S. I am going to be working on the next part of Tracey Comes to Visit, soon, 
don't be surprised if it takes me a little while to write it.

why I think they should bring back Elizabeth and add Ben to Felicity's Collection




Hi everyone!:)
The reason why this title is so long is because I had a lot to talk about (and I couldn't think of way to shorten it.) So...let's begin, American Girl recently brought back Felicity and added a boy doll (Logan).  I thought since they recently added Felicity back, they should bring Elizabeth back into the collection, as well as adding Ben (a character from Felicity's book).  Also since I like Felicity and her story I feel like there should be more than one doll in her collection.

Here are the reasons why....

Why I think they should add Ben 

Ben was an interesting character in the books and in the movie. Even though he is slightly older than Felicity, I think it would be good to know what men wore at the time (in doll form).  American Girl stopped including illustrations inside their books and the part of the historical books, called looking back at the past, no longer shows pictures of what people wore in that time period.

(Picture from Rotten Tomatoes, https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/felicity_an_american_girl_adventure)
I think that Ben's clothes would be interesting to have, because girls could dress up their Felicity doll in boy's clothes, as well as having colonial clothes for their boy doll. It is also part of the story that Felicity dresses up as a boy and they don't have any clothes for her like that. The outfit that is pictured above I think would be a awesome "Meet outfit" for Ben (I also think his hairstyle would look awesome on a doll). 

There is also another reason why I think it would be good to add Ben to Felicity's collection. Felicity has come back and all her stories from her point of view as a patriot are put into 2 or 3 books (and I don't think they have added Elizabeth's side as a loyalist into it). I think they should add a boy's point of view of the era into a book, like Felicity's first book except it would be told in Ben's point of view, even though he is a patriot, too, we would be hearing about the American revolution through a boy's perspective and we would be able to see what men and boy's did at that time. 



     Why it would be important to bring back Elizabeth 
(Picture from American Girl Wiki, http://americangirl.wikia.com/wiki/Elizabeth_Cole)














I don't believe they added in Elizabeth's side of the story in Felicity's new book (but I don't know for sure, because I have only read Felicity's original books and not her Beforever ones).  It would be good to be hearing her side of the story since she is a loyalist and we would get a different prespective (like in Ben's we would get to know what men and boy's were allowed to do in the era) 
and would be able to hear what was going on in the American revolution but from a loyalist's perspective. If you only hear it from the patriot's perspective then you get a one-sided idea of the American revolution. 

Unfortunately, we lost her side of the story when American Girl retired the best friend dolls.


In conclusion, Felicity is the only doll in her collection, and we are missing the loyalist's and a boy's  point of view of the American Revolutionary war and story.  
------------------------------------------
Hope you enjoyed reading the post, I am planning to send American Girl a letter about this. 

What do you think? Do you like my idea of a Ben doll? 
Do you think should American Girl bring back Elizabeth? 

Love,

Doll photography #3

         Hi everyone, I thought today was a good day for a doll photography post...
               Here are the photos:



A picture of Annabeth's sandals... 



I enjoyed taking this picture, I especially like what it says on the shirt. 

Seven of Nine and Naomi Wildman, this photo reminds me of a scene 
from a Star Trek Voyager episode. 

A picture of Agent Olive's eyes... 


This is a picture that never ended up getting into Tracey comes to Visit (part 1) 
Though I do like the angle of this picture. 

----------------------------------------

Which photo is your favorite? 

Love, 
Quinley
