All-American Hair Salon

We mentioned in a past blog that our eyes have recently been opened to the American Girl experience. I'm not sure it's one we'll ever recover from. Reason 59: Here's the beauty salon in Chicago's Michigan Avenue store. Girls stood in line by the dozens with their American Girl doll in hand as they anxiously awaited for their number to be called so little Mia (girl of the year 2008!) could get her hair straightened for her big day of shopping or maybe pigtails to match the new roller skating outfit she's going home with. Ah, decisions. Is it just me, or is the hairdresser on the left taking her job way too seriously? Her expression makes me think she's really debating whether a side ponytail will compliment the doll's bone - or plastic - structure.

The AG thing is so addictive (and expensive!). A friend of mine who has a 4 1/2 year old just made an appointment for tea at the AG Chicago location. The same little girl had her picture taken w/her AG doll in matching outfits....creepy? :)

Again, that was me.
