Z Yang events this Saturday at American Girl stores in NYC, Chicago, Seattle, Dallas, and DC

Have you heard the news? American Girl just released their newest contemporary doll, Z Yang last week. “Z” {short for Suzie} is Korean American and hails from Seattle {every girl in the PNW, including my two littles, is squealing right now}. Not only do I adore that she’s from Seattle, I love that Z is a stop-motion vlogger, which is my oldest’s dream job. Fans have come to know and love Z as the star of the American Girl’s immensely popular web series, Z’s Crew. In the web series, Z loves staying connected with friends and sharing a good story through her stop motion videos.

To celebrate Z’s launch, AG is hosting Z events this Saturday, May 6, at American Girl’s stores in NYC, Chicago, Seattle, Dallas, and DC. The events will be meet-up events to introduce fans to real girls who, like Z, have gained popularity and a strong online following based on their creative passion for photography and stop motion videos. They are:

• NYC: Basilmentos 
• Chicago: AGSmiless 
• Seattle: FiveHensandaCockatiel 
• Dallas: Mixie Pixie 
• DC: FiveDollStars 

We love Sydney from @5HensAndaCockatiel who will be appearing at the Seattle American Girl store this Saturday. She did a special Z photo shoot in Seattle that turned out amazing, and you can see the behind-the-scenes video of her photo shoot and resulting photography here:

Check back next week when we will have an exclusive Q&A with Sydney from @5HensAndaCockatiel and our own Seattle photo shoot! Here’s just some of our Seattle accessories and favorites from Z’s collection that we used in our photos. Want to find out more about Z Yang?
