Breaking News: GOTY 2016 and New Holiday Dress

I found out more information about the new GOTY.  Some possible names are Gabriella, Lea Clark or Gemma but they also might be code names.  Most likely her name will be Lea Clark:)  Her background is a combination of Spanish and Italian.  Her features include long wavy caramel hair, Caroline's blue/green eyes, medium skin (tanned skin), Josephina's face mold.  I can't tell what kind of eyebrows she has. In my research, I found this leaked picture of the 18 inch doll. Also, be on alert that American Girl is coming out with the new limited edition holiday dress for 2015 (see below..LOVE)!

American Girl Of the Year 2005 Marisol Luna

I was sitting here just thinking about what AG was like 10 years ago and I started to smile and images of the GOTY 2005 Marisol Luna filled my thoughts!  Marisol's features include: dark brown eyes, long wavy brown hair, medium skin and the Josephina face mold.  Her meet outfit comes with a pink tank top, a purple wrap top, olive satin cargo pants, olive and magenta Mary Jane shoes (love!), lavender underwear, pink/purple crocheted hat, multi colour crocheted scarf, flower pendant necklace and sticker earrings.  Marisol's story takes place in Des Plaines, Illinois, USA in the 2000's and in her story she is 10 years old.  The young latina Marisol loves to dance in her original hometown in Pilsen, Illinois but then she hears the sad news that the family is moving to Des Plaines. The worst part of the move... they have no dance studio there.  Marisol is determined to find away on how she can keep on dancing.  Marisol is a very rare doll in American Girl's inventory.  I like Marisol because her outfits and her look is just flawless and on top of that she has a lot of features and hobbies that are very similar mine.  If I had to choose my favourite outfit from her collection, I would choose her Tap Outfit  It is just so sparkly and pink). 

Every year I end up falling in love with the GOTY but then when she retires at year's end, I get so sad. Why does American Girl have to retire them?  I know, I know, they become collectibles for that very reason!  She is definitely a doll I wish was in my collection.
