    We know TLC and 90's will always have a special place in my heart ❤ I think you deliver the 90's wave so well - I am getting a feeling I want more of it in my small collection ☺ You found a perfect outfit for this doll, whatever you are saying, you nailing those styles 🤗

    Hi Blaine!! I'm so happy that you got the way you transformed her is beautiful. Actually, she was such a beautiful doll right out of the box, but you've made her equally beautiful. ❤️
    I think this doll will look fantastic in everything she wears. I hope this gives American Girl the courage to make more darker skin tone dolls and mix it up some more.
    Oh, and that outfit is remarkable on her and by itself. I have one already and just bought another one from a friend on Discord. I'm a sucker for a pair of bib overalls. 😅

    TLC and Chilli are some band that I have never heard about. I AM a lot older than most of you and I have always preferred music from before my own time , so it shouldn't really surprise me. 😂😂. But I have to look her up now
    Moana is breathtakingly beautiful. And mine is most likely going to remain mostly in her outfit. At least in the beginning.
    I wonder how the customs people make the decision. She may have been described as having a grass skirt and shell necklace, and it might be based on a misunderstanding in that way. But you are right, usually it is a little thing like the feather in Addy's snood, that sort of thing.
    I used to be annoyed at AG but i realize it is Canada customs who's to blame.
    I love her skin colour. And it sure changes her Corinne mold like you said.
    Thanks for the comparison with Tiana. She can definitely hold her own.

      As for customs, I forgot to mention it might be a language problem. Quebec forbids selling products where French is either not featured or English is written in larger font than French. Or maybe AG wants to prioritize Americans for this special release (new movie).

If you want to hear more about how it works TikTok and Instagram if you search das pass you'll find out more stories of people who have spent thousands to go and You can't apply for the das pass until you're there so you don't know that your park trip is going to be cut short because People applied for it for good reason because we can't wait in lines.
