Jill and I went to the American Girl Fashion Show this afternoon in Ft. Worth. All of the dolls were represented by girls from Ft. Worth---they (amazingly!) each looked like the actual AG doll. The Girl of the Year for 2007 is Julie, a girl who grew up in the 70s---the girl that represented her was great! Jill and I were both in shock at how the models of the characters of AG resembled each other so much! I know it was planned like that and all......but still........it was neat to see. The show was held in the Masonic Center in downtown Ft. Worth and the proceeds went to something historical. How is that for paying attention?!We walked in at around 12:30---the show started at 1:00---which really meant about 1:15. Let me start off by saying that I was WAY underdressed. 96% of the other moms had on fancy Sunday dresses---then there was me---capri jeans, green shirt, favorite Bjorn sandals. Jill looked cute...as you see above(the thing that looks like a dumpster is actually a marble block with a lantern on it)....she was dressed more appropriately than her mom on this one.
I knew that there was going to be an opportunity to purchase a souvenir tshirt, as well as one for the AG doll. What I did not know was that there would be books, mini dolls, puzzles, games, the AG pets, personalized stationery while you wait, raffle prizes, a hair fixing station, and a photo booth-------none of which were included in the $30 (each) ticket price. My sweet Budget Nazi said that she could get something.....that she could have our Date Night budget because we have no free Saturdays this month in which to have a Date Night.......so she got Licorice (the AG cat), a scrapbooking kit for her doll, a shirt, and the matching outfit for her doll. Her doll also went to the beauty salon and got french braids and fancy ponytail holders. WOW---we were busy---
but the show was great and they gave AG catalogs to all attendees. Jill is going to circle what she wants Santa to bring her. Last year she just mailed him the whole catalog! In case you were wondering, the Grand Opening of the newest AG store and Bistro will be November 3/4 in the Dallas Galleria. Hope to see you there!
After this, we went to the mall. We had to find Jill something pink to wear with her new AG shirt! Jill and I got to do girly stuff today-----even if its only for one day! Maybe AG will make her want to be more girly.
