Julie Doll

So Miss Albright arrived today (well, actually yesterday, since I happened to post this at midnight), and I must say, I'm very happy with her. I know some people have concerns about her hair, but really, it's fine, although she does shed a bit more than my other dolls. If you're worried about this, just use your fingers to straighten her hair more often than a brush.

About her hair. I really like it. It's very smooth, and although yes, it is similar to Barbie hair, it's still nice Barbie hair. I haven't bothered taking out her little braid, since I figure it'll look strange and kinky compared to the rest of her head, but it's cute, so that's fine.

Julie is the first doll I've purchased with the Josefina face mold, and although she looks good in American Girl's official photos (surprisingly), I love her even more in person. I believe that Nethilia claimed that she wanted to kiss Julie on the lips. I wanted to do the same when I saw her.

Julie arrives wearing a hair net, I guess to keep her hair from going everywhere. I didn't realize this at first, and was afraid that her hair was a tangled, ratty mess. My mistake.

So if you're itching to get a pony Julie of your own-ee, I'd recommend her. She's cute as a button, even if my photos don't do her justice.





Julie's very straight, butt-long hair.

ETA: Julie's hair sticks up everywhere, especially if she takes a tumble (which happens a lot in those platform sandals). Someone here, I believe blondieinhiding, said that they rubbed a sheet of fabric softener over her hair, and this made her hair stay down. I tried this, and it worked wonderfully. So if you're getting annoyed with her hair flying all over, try this. Her head will also smell laundry fresh!
