‘American Girl’ Abigail Breslin to appear in Alpharetta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
She’s coming! She’s coming! She’s coming!
Sorry, I’m just trying to sound like the little girl from “Little Miss Sunshine.”
But truth is, she’s coming. On Friday, Oscar nominee Abigail Breslin will be in Alpharetta to sign autographs and hobknob and push her latest movie “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl,” based on the popular doll that has its own store. The film opens June 20 at the North Point Market and in four other cities nationwide. It expands to other theaters on July 2.
Breslin will appear from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Friday at the American Girl Boutique and Bistro at North Point Mall.
Do you think Abigail owns one of the dolls? Do you think she’ll bring it along and take it to the store’s Doll Hair Salon (doll coiffures by American Girl hair specialists are $10-$20)? Do you think Abigail will fork over another $5 if she has a doll for it to get the Pampering Plus package which includes a doll facial scrub? Do you think I am making all this up? Because I’m not.

I know you’re not making it up, because I almost flipped out when I saw they had a job opening for a “doll stylist” and I could not imagine what that meant. When I found out, I just about flipped! I don’t even pay that much for myself, let alone a piece of plastic…

Mr. Smithee doesn’t have daughters. If you investigated American Girl you would find that this doll and all her paraphernalia is SOOO much more preferred by parents than that hooker, Barbie or even worse, The Bratz. Most little girls, and even some little boys (perhaps Mr. Smithee’s own progeny) like dolls. I agree that hair styling for a doll is over the top. But as long as I can get my daughter to focus on a doll that is not promoting girls as porno stars, then I will be keeping American Girl in business.

Oh I can just imagine the line on Friday! Wonder what time it will start? 2am? Earlier?
