American Girl Marisol was the first Girl of the Year that I purchased for Megan and Marisol was also the first Girl of the Year who sold out before she was retired. Marisol Luna, released in 2005, is a story about a Latina girl who lives in downtown Chicago and then moves to the suburbs. She loves dance and her collection featured beautiful dance outfits, a dance trunk and a spotlight stage that allowed her to spin.
Our Marisol is currently packed away but you can see her and the items we have from her collection in the Throwback Thursday post I did in 2012 – Marisol GOTY 2005. Marisol is definitely one of my absolute favorite dolls.
And now for the photos our readers have sent in:

From Eva K. - This is a photo of Marisol GOTY 2005 dancing on Isabelle’s dance bar (2014). Fun fact: Marisol was the GOTY 10 years ago and cost $87 dollars! Ten years later GOTY 2015 Grace is $120 dollars!
