    I love the girl of today computer. I mostly collect outfits but there are some older accessories that have been calling to me lately, that’s definitely one of them.

      I think so too! It's funny - I'm not really into sports (which I affectionately refer to as sportsball, regardless of the sport). But I LOVE all the athletics uniforms. On the back burner, one of my Dressing My Dolls ideas is to to do two videos - one AGOT sports outfits and one of more modern athletic outfits. :-)

      Thanks so much! We definitely go through periods where we don't come across any good lots and that's completely fine. But when we DO decide to buy a lot, it usually is a great deal. And yeah...the collection is getting really extensive. But I just (literally just last night) finished the basement doll space I've been working on, so it feels like we have all the space we need to thoroughly enjoy all these doll goodies...as long as I keep them organized lol.

      Thanks! I really like Lindsey - partly because she is the GOTY from my older daughter's birth year and partly because I LOVE her book and the fact that she was just a regular girl with no expensive hobby or prodigy-level talent in some competitive area. She just got to BE and I would welcome more of that from AG's GOTY.

    I have an early Girl of Today helmet with that elastic. I just bought black elastic that matched and restrung it. It was easy and under $2. Reuse the plastic clip.
    You did great on your lots. Good stuff there. I live vicariously through you. Wish I could have a collection like that, but sadly I can’t. My spouse hates my collection and wants it gone, so I can’t add any more.

      elastic is also super cheap! i bought like 4 meters of thin elastic to restring an eyepatch i use sometimes and it was only $10 USD.
      also coincidentally if anyone has ideas for uses for about 4 meters of elastic, send them my way

      I love this idea! And I'm sorry your husband isn't a fan.

    All the AG items you showed are familiarish to me except that bunny in the cage-I don’t remember that at all! And yes that pink and white dress is Samantha’s birthday dress. It’s kind of amazing the apron, circlet and shoes are in such good condition-those items usually aren’t! Okay that lot was only $80-I think that’s pretty good but I’m sorry the outfit you wanted was incomplete but I’m glad it was okay and not something you cared too much about. Wow that bike is amazing, I hope you can find a tiny screw!!

    • @agtakesover

      Yeah - I would obviously have preferred to have the entire Downhill Ski outfit, but mainly I'll use it for plain old snow pictures rather than skiing shots, and I love that it's gender neutral, so I'm happy with it. And I'm confident about the screw - there are a couple hardware stores in town but one in particular is great about selling loose screws, nails, bolts, etc in every size imaginable. I'll take the screw there and cross my fingers for a match!
