Hello! Today I have just a few photos of Maryellen. I got her on Thursday, August 27. I found out about a special preview one hour before store opening, which worked out because I had to work that afternoon. I would have risked being late to work if I had to wait until regular store opening. On Maryellen’s first day, staff were dressed up in 50s dresses. And so was I:
Molly dressed up too. Of all my dollies, she seemed most excited to meet Maryellen. I imagine a teenage Molly liking Maryellen’s stuff too. Poodle skirts, jukeboxes, and diners, oh my!
I got most of Maryellen’s things. I did not get the sofa bed or the TV (I might have if the store had the TV in stock). I also skipped the poodle skirt because I already have one. But then I read Maryellen’s book and her friend Karen copies her and also wears a poodle skirt on the first day of school, so now I’m considering buying a copycat poodle skirt! I bought the diner even though the store didn’t have it in stock, but that way it was shipped to my house for free, so I didn’t have to carry it up to my 3rd floor apartment! I haven’t had much diner playtime yet, but I hope to soon.
Here are some photos of the gang dressed in Maryellen’s clothes:
And how ’bout a pajama party with Maryellen’s living room furniture?
I think Maryellen’s collection is off to a nice start, but oh I hope we get more. I’m terrified that Maryellen will follow Caroline’s pattern, and we will get 2 more outfits before she retires in 3 years. Oh I hope that will not be true!
