We were down visiting our grandmother in Florida in February, which happened to coincide with the release of the American Girl Disney Princess dolls. Especially nice since our Columbus AGP store was closing about one week later. It was great getting to see the dolls, and we ended up bringing two of them home . . . plus one of the new Truly Me dolls, #127. While #127 hasn't settled on a name yet (we're trying Carmen, after Lucy and Viera didn't suit), the two Princesses have left their castles and settled into the Islandshire crowd pretty quickly. Meet Zale (aka Ariel) and Cambridge (aka Tiana)! Zale has been a bit of an elusive character on Islandshire. She's been a variety of dolls so far, ranging from a customized Jule, customized Marie-Grace and even a customized Nicki Hoffman. Originally, we purchased Ariel with the idea of customization. I wanted the wig, Nanea wanted the outfit, and we thought we might do something fun with the doll. But the minute that she came out of the box and shed the Mermaid costume, Sis was hooked. She was Zale. When we went over to the Orlando AGP, we didn't actually plan on buying a doll. If anything, we were thinking of Ariel. Certainly not Tiana. None of the three of us had cared for the Claudie face mold, and we've never been particularly keen on Tiana. That is . . . until we saw the display. Mom fell in love with the costume, but she wasn't sold on the doll. I was totally sold. In the end, we picked out a Tiana doll for and with a friend and went back to Gramma's house. But it stuck with me. Two days later, we were back at the store picking out my Tiana doll -- already called "Cambridge". She's named for the fabulous Police Sergeant character in the 1990s mystery show, Pie in the Sky. More pictures coming in the following post to compare the unique skin tones of both Tiana and Ariel!
