[quote=Anonymous]I was given the Kirsten doll when I was a child because she had blonde hair and blue eyes, just like me. BUT I wanted the Samantha doll SO badly (because her books were in our classroom and I was enthralled by her story/the Victorian era). I didn't care about the doll's eye or hair color, and neither did any of my friends: we were into the dolls' stories. Our school had some sort of dinner at which there was a lottery, and my name was pulled. The prize was the American Girl doll Addy, and she was African American. I loved her just as much as the doll who looked like me. Actually, I probably loved Addy more because I enjoyed her books more than Kirsten's. I think the previous PP who noted that the original American Girl dolls were more connected to their stories/historical settings, and were associated/chosen because of these, is right. [/quote]
