life ~ a photostory

  ~ a life update in the form of a photostory ~ this is truly Julia's aesthetic, entirely by accident, most of her closet is blue and white stripes. she's always either wearing her airplane propeller necklace or her dream necklace, wearing double dutch braids.  Once upon a time, there was a girl named Julia. She was a dreamer, one with a good imagination and wide horizons. Some of her happiest days as a teenager were spent taking photos of dolls, lying in the street to get the perfect angle. Her dolls were like built in friends, companions wherever she went, on trips and vacations and outings.  As she grew up, Julia grew busier and busier, and high school was a lot of work. But she had goals and she did everything she could to reach them. One of them was graduating two years early, which took up a lot of time and energy. After hours upon hours of studying, she finally graduated.  Taking a gap year beginning in 2020, the weirdest year of the century, she had no lack of other thi

Meet Jess!

Meet Jess McConnell, Girl of the Year 2006! This doll is really pretty, and I love her skirt (wish I had one!) and her story.
Isn't she pretty? I really love the whole tropical look, and this doll is really super unique... I think she's the only GOTY who travels to another country besides Grace Thomas (she travels to Paris).  Admire her bright outfit, and her lovely sandals. I think that she has the Asian face mold and I really love those braids! The only other dolls that I can think of on the spot that come in braids are Kirsten, Molly, and Saige (excluding the braided accents that are on Mia, Grace, Kailey and some others). Next is a close up of Jess' face.

I like this picture because you can really see that Asian mold and that lovely braid. I also like her rather side part instead of the ever always middle part on most dolls!
This below photo is of the illustration for the Jess book. I like it, yet I don't. She looks too old to be in fourth grade (which is normally the grades of most of the characters!) but she might pass for being 11. I still like the parrot, however!
Again, I found a real girl who resembles the featured GOTY. This time, meet screen star Bailee Madison!
 
Okay, doesn't she look a bit like Jess?!?!?! I love those braids- just like Jess, and her hair is even in a side part! And, ironically, she's wearing orange, Jess' signature color! She doesn't look Asian like Jess, but I love those features. Her eye color is the same, and if you look at the illustration, even her eyebrows look similar! Okay, so maybe I am going a bit overboard... :D She has a petit nose and ears however, like the Jess doll... I really love the similarities of Bailee and Jess!


This is one of her now.


Hope you enjoyed this!
