So, I underwent a little American Girl saturation therapy. Yes, there are entire stores dedicated to the American Girl virus. Recession? What recession?
Also were having trouble with our alarm. If you hear the sound of a key pad being beaten with a baseball bat, please don’t call the police. I can’t afford it.
Okay, seriously…as I’m typing this, I’m having a Zone 9 failure. Seriously. Beep, beep, beep…

Radio host Stephanie Miller also recently had a lengthy story about going to the American Girl store for a birthday party (for a friend’s daughter). If you want to get inside the female head and explore its mysteries, this seems like the place to do it.
Sounds like a frightening place for those with the Y chromosome. Godspeed.
They might be the only retailer making any money…
Seriously, as the father of a doll loving daughter aged nearly 5, I am scared and comforted only by the fact we are in the UK. I’d hope people here wouldn’t be so crazy…but i know that’s not the truth. Those parties sound like a great marketing idea.
I once had a colleague who had a life sized doll of a boy in his house, facing the wall like he was scared or hiding. I tell you, it was creepy, like Chucky.
Oh and I couldn’t help thinking, why don’t you just rip out the alarm and just have one of those false alarm boxes? – if someone really wanted to get in, they would and, if anything, the insurance company is likely to use the alarm as another reason why they won’t pay out. We had an alarm at our last house and didn’t even set it.
I think that Wayne is right about it.
This is one of the funniest episodes for me. I took my daughter to American Girl because she got it on her. She went to a party for my niece (my sister the traitor). She got a “loaner” doll. Isn’t that nice? No, it is not nice because then they WANT one. They NEED one. They gotta, gotta have one. Everyone is getting one (crack, crack, crack)! You won’t buy it for me mommy? I’ll ask Santa. He is great, he will buy me one. One ebay auction later for MY entire 4 seasons of SCRUBS later Santa the big fake presented her with her beloved Just Like Me Doll. She wanted to take it with her to the hospital for some testing. Santa came through. Mom reeks and is cheap. By the way, my doll needs a violin. She also needs to go to the salon to get her ears pierced. NO WAY!
To end this tirade is my my story about our alarm. When we moved in our used home there was an alarm. We quickly found out it was not being monitored by any company. In the first few days it went off when the wind blew. FRICK, FRICK, FRICKETY FRICK. I finally forced my hubby to go into the attic and chop the main wire. Death to the monitor. My husband is a police officer. He has a gun. Stay off my property.
Do I see Victoria’s Secret across from American Girl store?
Not to be a prude nazi, because I’m not, no, far from it…but ah…that just isn’t right.
I’m glad somebody FINALLY noticed!
I totally agree with Wayne. Really gotta look . Almost all new children are loving dolls like hell.
