I nearly cried just figuring this out, and here why:
- Molly was my first AG doll, she started it for me, I LOVE HER SO MUCH! She's IMO the cutest AG doll ever, she's super unique and adorable with her silver glasses and beautiful gray eyes, I love her argyle sweater on her, her little Mary Janes are adorable, and her face melts you! Her braids are tough to handle but who cares, she's adorable and besides her braids have character and are super adorable!
- Emily was my 4/5/6th doll, as I got her X-mas 2008 along with Sammie and Kirsten, and I love everything about her, from her light auburn hair with honey blonde highlights and aqua blue eyes and creamy skin
- I only have their tap dance outfits
- To me, they're AG's heart and soul
- I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM BOTH!!!!!!!!!
- It would kill me to see them retire
And honestly, no offense to any other BFF sets, but they are my FAVES of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going insane, I know, but all the outfits I purchase from AG this year (even before they announce the retirement) I'm going to buy.
Anyway! Below is a list of colors they both look great in!
MOLLY:
Red
Dark Blue
White
Polka Dots
Peter-Pan Collars
EMILY:
Light Blue
Yellow
Green
Off-White/Ivory
Cardigans w/ Buttons
Patterned Dresses
I plan to get all of Molls & Emily's collection here, not including furniture. (Some of) My favorite outfits are:
Emily's Holiday Outfit
Molly's Evergreen Dress (well since my AG craze it's been called her Holiday Dress but to me it's always gonna be the Evergreen Dress)
Emily's Pajamas
Molly's Pajamas
Molly's NEW Polka Dot Outfit
If they do retire them, I'm going to start a petition:
http.//www.petitionspot.com/savemollyandemily or /welovemollyandemily I'll give link at a later date
Also, at a much later date, I will begin a post where you can comment about your personal Molly and Emily memories. It'll stay open for commenting FOREVER so bring up the comments!!!!!
Extension: Maybe you should start emailing and writing AG right now to stop retiring our precious, beloved, dolls that are like our own family! For example, the first American Girl movie I saw was Molly's (this was before I had Emily but after I got Molly) movie, we saw it so many times my parents said it was like Molly was our family PLUS she thought we owned it! Yes, start the touch NOW!!!!!!!!! If I didn't already have Molls and Emily (Molls is Molly's nickname...I made it up at the beg. of 2009) I would get them both like right now!!!!!!!!! Molly has the sweetest expression, she looks different from the other original mold dolls, her glasses are sturdy and silver-lined and look positively adorable and Molls is SUCH a sweetheart dolly, her books are great reads, have great illustrations, and are super inspiring. Did I mention Molls is my FAVE DOLL EVER and MOST ADORABLE EVER and such a precious sweetheart of a cutie pie!!!!!!!!!!!! Now onto Emily.....Emily is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO precious cute and ABSOLUTELY beautiful gorgeous, her eyes are a deep sea blue like ocean water or beautiful blue sky, her skin is the color of ivory cream, her hair is simple, shoulder-length, and gingery-red when placed in sunlight, has honey blonde highlights the same colors of JLY #21's hair, and her meet dress layers beautifully with her pale blue eyes and creamy skin, not to mention that gorgeous soft silky AUBURN HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!! High Photogenic Cutie Tip: Dress both dolls in their meet outfits, and put them on a simple-colored background (for me, a brown leather couch) and pose them together. Some poses include one doll with her arm around the others' shoulder, one leaning with her mouth near the others' ear as if she is whispering a secret, chicken fight (my fave! LOL!) which means standing up one doll and sitting the other doll on her shoulders, shaking hands, or just twirling around holding hands.
Extension 2: If you have one or both of these absolutely lovably precious cuties, made a video on YouTube or for your blog! Dress them in any cute outfits from their collections and start the video. Begin saying what AG *will do* is wrong! First Samantha, then Kirsten, now MOLLY?! (IMO, Molly is the best of the Original Three and all of the historical characters, but so is Josefina, and Emily is the best of all the BFF's) and prove your point. Also, don't forget about my petition! I'm planning on starting it early so we can drum up an extra few signatures, but my mom said now is too early. So I guess I'll start it around April...Anyway, if you are a reader of my blog (no one but I'm on Doll Diaries as Winter Wish so yeah) PLZ PLZ I'm begging you sign my petition!!!!! The URL remains unknown, between http://www.petitionspot.com/savemollyandemily or /welovemollyandemily So BYE 4 now!!!
Extension 3: American Girl never should've started retiring dolls!!!!!!! First Samantha & Nellie, then Kirsten, then Felicity & Elizabeth!!! This is ridiculous!!! 2/3 of the original three and their BFFs have been retired!!!!!!!! We can't let this happen to Molly and Emily, AG's Idol Historical Character BFFs!!! Molly's story tells, ultra-interesting, about an average American girl growing up in 1944, during World War Two, with her older brother, little brother, older sister, and mom, while her dad is far away at war, caring for wounded soldiers. Emily's story, a story of bravery, tells about a timid, polite British girl from war-torn England coming to stay with Molly's family until her Aunt Primrose gets over her pneumonia in a nearby hospital. For heaven's sake, if you want money, why not retire Kit & Ruthie??? (No offense at all to Kit lovers, fans, or followers, this isn't personal) I know they haven't been out long, but seriously! Many children have American Girl Dolls and are becoming homeless, and they shouldn't have to have a constant reminder of their homelessness (you know, Kit during the Great Depression? Ring a bell?) I mean, for every girl, it's impossible no matter what to forget about your dad being at war, or just plain gone, so if you have a Molly and/or Emily doll, it'll make no difference in your emotional attitude. Poor Molls, they never even gave her Susan & Linda dolls!!!!!! I know, an Emily doll is A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
but still....more dolls (like Chrissa with Gwen and Sonali) for Molly's collection would be heartwarming and technically a replica of her story. I mean, Susan the cheerful dreamer and Linda the practical schemer = MUST for dolls!!!!!!!!! Four dolls for one collection may seem like to much, but Molly deserves it!!!! She deserves an award for being purely, completely, undeniably unique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, she's the only Original Three to hold up without retirement for now what's 25 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO MOLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *claps claps claps claps claps claps claps claps claps claps claps claps claps claps claps claps and claps some more* WOOT GO MOLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, back to bad stuff. Retirement. The dreaded word, as meaningless and gossipy as a raspy whisper shredded across tears. As cold and stiff as Mia's marked-up ice. As horribly painful as a sharp-needled shot, or a sudden jolt of power outlet electricity. As tearily read as the world's saddest death story. OK, back to business. If Molly retires, I will be making at least 3 petitions! I'll be commenting on Doll Diaries as Winter Wish, BTW.
