Apparently, the gloomy economy didn’t stop hundreds of parents and kids from thronging the MOA for the opening of the American girl store Saturday.

$90 for a doll! Wow. But I was just glad to see a rare happy retail story from our retail reporter, Jackie Crosby. (Our editors must have felt the same way…they slapped the story on the front page of the Sunday paper.)

In Variety, Gail Rosenblum writes about grown women who are still obsessed with Molly, Felicity and Kit and there are cute pics of young fans by Jim Gertz at the opening.

Any Cribsheeters out there with a (not so) secret American Girl obsession?
