Mia St. Clair











 
So, Mia came today, right on schedule. :D Yayyyyyy! Yeah, you guys were obviously right. XD
The eBay seller


 So, now for pictures! Here's Mia's full body. As you can see, she has her hair clipped back.















This is why. XD That's what her hair looks like if you take it out of the braid. There's a weird piece in the front that you honestly have to pull back any time it's not in the braid. (It's the part of hair above her eye.)
 Mia's face-she's pretttttty.

In French: Elle est jolie!
In German:  Sie ist hübsch!
In Ghetto: Gu''rl, dis gurl got dat long hurr ain''t she purrty?


 Another close-up-sorry you can't see her freckles very well. They're a unique pattern that run across her nose. The freckles are light orange, like her eyebrows.
 Her hair

A pretty picture of a pretty Mia.

 

 Pictures of Mia's shoes and skirt







 Mia has green/hazel eyes. When she was released, American Girl marketed them as 'green' and I think AG's 'hazel' looks green, so I'm going to flooping call them green.





 In these pictures, her hair looks sort of like mine.


 Her hair part is weird. XD Note the front part I was talking about. That's the only part of the part I'm worried about.









 Mia. :D

So, Mia is a pretty awesome doll. She's my first and only GOTY and retired doll. :D

I do recommend buying from that eBay seller. The person stocked up on Mias and has sold over 130 of them. (I was number 137.) They come new in the box with the book and everything.

You're the first to see this! Lol, won't be able to make videos for a while, (laptop issues) so subscribers that haven't found this blog are missing out right now. XD

How to get re-interested in your AG dolls

Some of us hit a low point with AG- whether it be a certain doll of ours we don't pay attention to as often, or if it's AG as a whole.

If you're losing interest in AG as a whole, try this:

-Reconnect with your dolls. Change them, change their hairstyle, do photoshoots, and watch 'all my dolls' video on YouTube. I personally enjoy seeing several dolls grouped together, and it makes me want more. You can also try searching the AG site and see what doll you may want next. You can also get ideas from 'all my dolls' videos or just regular AG doll videos.

You may start wanting a doll you never paid attention to. I wanted Emily for Christmas for a while and even had two dreams about her, but I kept having my doubts. Then, I suddenly realized that #33 wasn't half bad, and started wanting her instead. I wanted her for a much shorter time, but she ended up being the right choice, because I absolutely LOVE her. I'm extremely glad I got her and not Emily. And to think I never even paid her much thought.

I never really paid much attention to Jesse, either. If you aren't sure about a doll because of her stock photo, I will give you some advice- AG's stock photos do not do the dolls justice. They all look way better in person, whereas they may look weird in the stock photos. So if you think that there aren't any good-looking dolls out there, look the dolls up on YouTube, and see what she really looks like. That's what I do when I want a doll.

Also try reading historical stories. I wanted my first dolls, Kit and Ruthie, because I had read the books. Try reading more historical character books and pick out your favorite historical. You may start wanting her doll.

If you're losing interest in a certain doll/dolls:

Maybe there's an older doll whose hair isn't near as fun to play with as your new #55's. Maybe her hair is frizzy and you always end up dressing her drably, because all the good clothes go to your newer dolls. I know I've been there. Well yesterday, I reconnected with Kit and Ruthie.

Dress them up in pretty outfits- don't save all the bright and colorful shirts for your other dolls if you only have that much to go around. Put them in outfits they've never worn or don't wear often (Kit hasn't worn her shoes in a while), or mix and match different outfits (Ruthie is wearing the skirt and boots from the new MAG outfit, the Campus Casual shirt, and the vest from the Weekend Fun Outfit.)

Once you've made them look fresher, style their hair as best you can. You may have left their hair alone because you thought it looked perfect. I did that with Ruthie's hair, but it started to get frizzy and messy. I didn't just re-curl the frizziest curls and spritz it- I started fresh, because this is all about fresh. [The key to get interested in a doll again is to make her look fresh and new, not 'I've looked the same for a month'.] So, I sprayed and brushed out all of her hair, took a couple minutes to re-curl it, and stuck a bobby pin on the side so that curl wouldn't get in the way. (Which it always does.) I brushed Kit's hair out to where I like it- not the bob hairstyle AG shows in the stock photos, which you can do but I personally think looks horrid, but just nice and straight with those little flips. They look great.

Also, hug them and hold them. XD It does help, because it reminds you that they are another blessing to your AG family, just as much as your newer, softer-haired, and longer-haired dolls. You can also try making photoshoots of them. It helps you see them as an even more beautiful doll.

While writing this, I got an idea. First, everyone ask me some questions so I can make an FAQ and feel awesome, XD and if you want me to make a review on a doll or two (like maybe Kit and Ruthie), then I could try my hand at that. Rule: Only dolls I have. XD Hope that was self-explanatory.

So, that's how I get re-interested in a doll or dolls. :D

I finally got Britta's hair (sorta) right!

I am honestly the worst person to handle hair. I've only just figured out to keep my own hair from tangling and matting in my sleep and lazy daytime activities. I've never managed to keep Britta's hair wavy and make it look okay, but I sorta gave it waves.

It doesn't look its best, though, because it's poofy and sort of weird. But this is the first time I've curled it in a while, and it may be close to how it should look. It's still very messed up and weird in some parts, but it's not straight as it has been for a while, because I've been too scared and lazy to attempt this. XD

Oceana's hair also looks better than I use to have it, except I love it. XD I used to fail at her curls, too. So don't ask me to make hairstyle tutorials or anything. XD I don't even know any hairstyles, actually. I've been playing with Oceana, Jesse, and Britta's hair today. I'm also Tiny Chatting with Cece and Emma in Kaitlynn's room. Wheeeee. XD

Things you'll see on here

This is my new blog solely for AG talk. :D I may not use this blog as much, but you may see:

-News about upcoming movies, stop motions, etc. on my YouTube channel.
-News about dolls I'm getting
-AGTuber meme pictures (Yes, I created an AGTuber meme. XD Sometimes we can be annoying.)
-Maybe some pretty doll pictures every now and then
-AG news, rumors, doll talk

I should probably make an FAQ post sometime, but no one's asked me any questions. XD Maybe NAQ- 'Never Asked Questions'. Actually, that would be bad usage of grammar, so rather 'QNA'. XD

Yeah, you guys are probably going to be first to get news on my future AGTube works. I'm just going to put an unnoticeable link to this on my main blog and be done- no AGTube advertising or anything! XD Just let everyone else find this for themselves. Hehe. My subscribers will have to dig pretty deep to find this blog and learn information on the next Witches of Youth movies. Ooh, spoiler! That'll be in its own post. XD No one's seen the first movie, so I think I will link them here.

Part 1

Part 2

The whole thing's about 22 minutes long. WAYYYY shorter than Psychosis. I'm sure everyone reading this is like- 'Okay, I know nothing of these movies you're coming out with!' I think I'll link the playlist. (You're very lucky for all these links. XD) I put all 8 parts (Yes, 8. XD) on a playlist so people could string them all together and watch the full movie easier.

Psychosis Beware- the movie's 51:47 long. XD

So, share this blog with your friends. Maybe not your enemies, though. If they're your enemies, they might be my enemies, too. :3

So, give me so questions to answer and watch the movies so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself when I tell 'everyone' the latest news. XD

Thanks for reading, bye! XD
