I'm SURPRISED at you! Good Lord, woman! My granddaughters had American Girl dolls and they both LOVED them! And yeah, they did cost both grammas some bucks, but hey, granddaughters are a precious thing and nothing's too good for them. I'd like to know where that tea place is in Chicago, if there is one. It'll have to go some, though, if it's going to beat out High Tea at the Drake Hotel at Christmas. I'm taking my granddaughters there again this Christmas; it's a family tradition. MELISSA!

I can sum it up quick - We were sitting in the Cafe, a beautiful black and white striped room with hot pink flower chandeliers, a harpist and all the imagination that makes the whole experience there for little girls really magical. They had seats for the dolls that attached to our table and little tea cups with saucers were provided for them. It was the ultimate tea party, complete with little cakes and sandwiches and really creative desserts. After they brought out her little heart shaped pink and white cake with a candle and the whole room sang happy birthday to her, my goddaughter looked up at me and said with a big smile "It doesn't get any better than this". The genuine gratitude that I received from her and all the fun that we had that day was worth every bit of effort in what I went through to make it happen. I'd gladly do it over and over again. A sucker for some marketing genius you say? Well, maybe but I've always been a person to thrive on good imagination. That place is chock full of it. Any experience is only what you make of it and I'm just jealous that I didn't think of it myself! :-) I just read Melissa’s comment and well, I guess I should have relayed the ending to this story.

All that pink and purple makes it look like a Pepto-bismal, Prilosec cocktail. Little girls should never, ever be allowed anywhere near that place cause it sucks out all their intelligence, their parents money and all for the ugliest dolls ever created. If the terrorists are looking for a soft target, I'll happily put the bulls-eye right there. The creator of these dolls should die a slow, painful death. American Girl Place is a nightmare.
