Fifth Ave

Today was not my first time up 5th ave., but I wanted to visit the Disney store again, so I rammed into the crowd and elbowed my way up the streets...5th ave. these days is certainly a tumultuous river of people streaming up and down. I passed the American Girl store, and I have to say as I was once an American Girl lover, it is much, much too commercialized now. A full store of dolls and merchandise is just too much for me. I miss the old days where there was just four of them, and probably just a limited amount of merchandise. They've generated too much commercial products for this series. I feel sad and I am gradually losing my sincere love for the American Girls.

I finally came to the Disney store, and here is my favorite figurine:


I wonder why I don't feel Disney is too commercialized. Maybe because it didn't start out as books and is much of a commodity.
