My daughter is 5 and was ecstatic to get this doll. There was NO WAY she could pierce this doll's ears herself- it took me 25 minutes to do it. My daughter lost interest in the process. Cali girl is cool but the ear piercing is not!

Summer is a gorgeous doll. Her hair is unlike any other barbie hair i have felt before: it is fine and silky. It is also crimped, and streaked with copper, and very shiny. Her face is very pretty and realistic. Her clothes I also like. She comes with a khaki halter top with a hawaiian flower applique on it, stone coloured shorts which come to just below her knees, and a really cool cream cardi with nice knitted detail which doesn't come up in the Amazon photo. She also wears green slip-on sneakers.
The ear-piercing idea is a good one in my opinion, and it has been carried out well. The ear piercer is simple to use and she comes with a vast assortment of earrings, both studa and dangles. The reason I give this product a 4 for durability is because the earrings themselves are thin plastic and coould snap if roughly handled. They sometimes bend a little when pushing them into the piercer, but if careful, you can easily avoid them breaking.
Summer also comes with a sturdy plastic stool as pictured. All in all this is a great doll and really fun. She also has the newer body structure which was first featured in the 'Jewel girl' barbies.
