Maria Josefina Montoya has been and will always be my favorite doll from the American Girl collection. I have always been fascinated by the Hispanic culture which includes their customs, food and outfits.
I have taken this particular doll and customized her to make her a slight bit older. I customized her hair by replacing her wig with beautiful black weft so her hair would be soft, long, stylable and more fun to brush. I also added brighter lips that goes with her beautiful dark skin tone. She has been so much fun to shop for with my daughter and also play with. We love Josefina in our collection so much. Happy birthday little lady. Josefina has and always will be my most favorite doll. I have always loved Hispanic culture and was automatically drawn to her. I first bought her as a “fixer-upper.” I took off her old wig and replaced it with new, silky weft and updated her face paint. She was my first doll as an adult and she is my favorite to this day of all my dolls. She gets plenty of play when my daughters, son and I play with our dolls. Feliz Cumpleaños dear Jo!
