A Fair Blaire Compare

Lovely Blaire is shared with us today by the talented and generous @katesdollhouse! Thank you so much, Kate!

Blaire has such striking coloring, especially her deep red hair against her fair skin. The extra light vinyl tone is a new one for American Girl which first debuted last year with the new blond boy, TM 74.

Comparing Blaire with Rebecca, the difference in vinyl tone is very marked. Rebecca looks almost sun-kissed in comparison. Btw, she looks adorable Blaire's Meet dress!

Lea has a medium vinyl tone and the contrast is even more between the two poppets. Blaire eyes are also a very deep olive green compared to Lea's hazel green eyes.

Blaire is certainly a unique doll even if we've seen many red heads before from the AG line up--her extra fair vinyl tone really gives me a classic Nordic/Germanic fairy tale heroine vibe. She would look adorable in a dirndl dress!

Thanks again, @katesdollhouse!

Blaire Hair Compare

Thanks to Shanel Lynn, who has kindly given me permission to share, we have an early look at Blaire's hair in comparison to similar dolls.

Left to right: TM 61, Blaire, and Rebecca.

One of the things I noticed besides the different shades of hair is how pale Blaire's skin tone is when compared to other fair-faced dolls. Her red hair is also a deeper and richer tone of red than TM 61.

As for length, TM 61 has the longest, then Blaire and Rebecca. While Rebecca's hair is in played with condition, it is easy to see the extra curl Blaire has in her wig.

A final closeup of the back of Blaire's hair.

In all, I am surprised how the extra curl in the wig along with the deeper red tones helps set her wig apart from similar dolls. The extra fair vinyl skin tone also helps set her apart as well... enough where I think I may need her in my collection, lol.

Blaire's Wedding World

Blaire's collection offers a theme not before explored in a GOTY line--the Outdoor Wedding!

Food and restaurant sets seem to be popular sellers. I love this new twist! Yum!

First Look: Blaire's Whole World

The first wave of images have emerged on social media and it looks like we have the first gander of pretty much her entire world!

GOTY 2019: Blaire's Book Cover

Ahhhh, so sweet!

Looks like green eyes with medium length curly red or auburn hair with lovely highlights streaked throughout.

And now some peeks at the contents themselves. I really do want those dark blue slippers, lol.

Molly's beret and purse--so classic Molly!

While AG has not announced plans, most rumors point to Molly being available only through Costco--in other words, don't expect Molly to take a bow via AG's stores or website.
