The original egg chair had stereo speakers built in so people could listen to their favorite tunes while resting in the chair. I remember seeing egg chairs from my childhood (probably either on television or in a store catalog) even though my family never owned one. Julie is sitting in a doll-sized egg chair. In the center of the store was this display featuring the 1970’s historical Julie Albright doll sitting next to her bed with the beaded curtains. The main reason why I went to Tyson’s Corner on a Wednesday night was to visit the American Girl Place, where I could see the dolls model their latest BeForever outfits and accessories. There were people who tried out the video game “Just Dance” that was playing on the X-Box Kinect that was placed outside the Microsoft Store. I couldn’t tell whether they were the latest in trendy teen clothes or Halloween costumes. I saw this store that had these freaky looking clothes. (I find it strange to see a car dealership inside a shopping mall because I’ve long adjusted to car dealerships being these large parking facilities that are separate from shopping malls.) Tesla is among the first electric cars that have gone on sale in the U.S. When one enters the mall, this Tesla car dealership is the first store one sees. There is even an outdoor playground for young children that is located next to the Shake Shack. There is a ping pong table that people can use. The plaza has giant-sized boards where people can play checkers and chess using large playing pieces. In reality they are some life-sized bird statues that look incredibly real. The next few photos look like I got some close ups of the local wild birds. As a result I could leisurely view the clothes on display and even take photos of them without dealing with crowds of kids.īasically when one gets off at the Tyson’s Corner Metro Station, one reaches the mall by crossing a pedestrian bridge over Route 123 then one arrives at this really pleasant looking plaza outside the mall entrance, which includes paved walking paths and couches placed outside for people to sit on. From an adult’s point of view, the timing was great because the store was less crowded than it usually is on the weekends (especially Fridays and Saturdays). The clothes were only displayed for two days in the middle of the week (October 1 and 2 fell on a Wednesday and Thursday this year), which I thought was strange considering that American Girl’s core customers are girls between the ages 8-12 and this exhibit fell at a time when children were attending school during the day and having to deal with homework at night. This new line has a stop that’s right at the Tyson’s Corner Mall itself, which I think is great because I’ve long hated driving there due to the horrendously clogged traffic on the major highways getting there, the poorly laid out parking lot, and the crazy drivers battling each other for those parking slots. It also gave me a chance to finally try riding the new Silver Line Metro, which was recently opened a couple of months ago. The clothes that were created on the American Girl episode are currently on a short tour of the American Girl Place stores across the United States and they came to the one in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia. I recently took advantage of a rare opportunity of seeing the clothes that were made on Project Runway in person.
