"An American girl doll.

I loved those books SO MUCH and my favorite ones were about Samantha. She was always my favorite.I wanted one for Christmas so bad.

I never got one. I remember that christmas. My sister got a brand new Nintendo D.S. and I got a barbie doll. They made all sorts of excuses about how I wouldn’t play with it and how expensive it was. But all I saw was how much my sister was favored and that sh#t hurt.

20 or so years later, American girl is doing a revival of the original style. I bought one so fast it made my credit card scream but a few weeks later I had the doll I’d always wanted."
