Doll hospital?! What happened to using your own imagination? Get a $5 doll, cut it's own hair and pop its arms back in yourself if you tear them out, just like I used to when I was a kid. There is no way that I would spend that much money on a doll for my kid to play with, no matter how bad they wanted it. Doll hair salon? Doll hospital?! What happened to using your own imagination?

Why not just call them, "Baptist Republican Whites-Only Women in the Kitchen Dolls"? The mothers and daughters I see with them have the same glazed expression seen only on "The Stepford Wives".

As much as I do love your site, I have to admit that I've long been a fan of the American Girl dolls. I can understand why it seems totally terrifying and weird if you see a bazillion little girls walking around with them at the Grove... But AG (formerly known as Pleasant Company) actually has a nice history that predates its current connections to Mattel. Pleasant Company and its dolls were created to help educate girls with its historical dolls and their books. I know there isn't much I can say to make you think otherwise...but these dolls aren't that bad. Honestly. But maybe that's just me being sentimental, and a fan of AG/PC since 1993ish. ;) Ohhh…I knew you had to pounce on the AG’s one of these days.
