This blog entry downright enraged me.
Albeit a Jealous rage, I was full of it. A whole log of it.
When I was a little girl, I used to read everything that came in the mail. One of the things I used to read were catalogs. My favorite catalog to read as a girl were the American Girl catalogs.
Yeah, back in the day before heavily-image-laiden websites were the norm, children, people used “Catalogs.”
Anyway, The American Girl Catalog was my favorite thing ever. I wanted those dolls. Sadly for my poor Black ass, those dolls were about $150 each, not including all the accessories, tea-sets, or even LIFE SIZE OUTFITS JUST LIKE THE DOLLS that yo ucould wear.
So this article, where the girl shows a million fucking pictures of her with her dolls and her matching outfits filled me with jealous rage for her having what I longed for as a kid, but just could not have.
