One more night's wine glass affair
Just things that catch my eye.
This is a great article, especially since Chiara is quoted (tomorrow is Chiara’s birthday!), but this whole business of Molly being better than Samantha is nonsense.
Who the fuck are these people? When I was a kid it was Molly, Samantha, Felicity and Kirsten.
Edit: I only liked the books, not the dolls.
Also, Addy might have been a thing, but I never read her books.
“Choosing Molly was stepping out of that paradigm. Choosing Molly was declaring that you would carry a purse only if it were big enough to hold books.”
Fuck yeah, Molly. Scrappy and gutsy. That’s my girl. Wear those glasses. Plant that victory garden.
Also, I hate Samantha. Samantha is boring. Samantha is white bread.
I ended up getting Samantha, but I always wanted molly’s clothes and decorations. I thought she was ugly but I wanted her STUFF.
If Kit had been around when I really wanted a doll, I probably would have gotten her, because i’ve been a 1930s baby from the beginning.I had Addy…
I had Kit because she had short hair and freckles on her nose and took place during the 30s.
I had Samantha and Kristen.
I wanted Samantha so badly, but my mom vetoed spending $80-90 on just a doll :/
