Last week, Mattel was approached by Authentic Brands, the owner of brands like Care Bears, Rebook, Sports Illustrated, and the estates of Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe, about a $6 billion dollar takeover of the entire company. While this is just speculation and has no form of deal yet, it is concerning for the future of American Girl considering that Authentic Brands is owned by several private equity firms. For example, when Authentic Brands bought Forever 21, they sucked

Here's an updated list of every Girl of the Year, including the new Girl of the Year, Daisy Davenport! The first Girl of the Year doll was Lindsey Bergman. She was the Girl of the Year for 2001, yet she was released on September 1, 2001 and retired on December 31, 2002. Lindsey was a troublemaker and trumpet player that lived in Chicago, Illinois.

It was just revealed that Daisy Davenport’s birthday is March 22, 2017. She is the second Girl of the Year to be born in March, after Blaire (who coincidentally has the same eye color and face mold!), and for all of my fellow Miraculous Ladybug fans here, she is the first Girl of the Year to be younger than an entire season of Miraculous Ladybug. Man, I feel old.

Poor Daisy. She spent her entire book on summer break at Camp Gowonigan, but today I took her to school - and not just fourth grade. A college level political science course. Luckily, after class, she got to spend some time outdoors on campus! Nashville sure doesn’t beat Camp Gowonigan, but at least she’s having a good time. Here’s some photos from our adventure!

Hi guys! Earlier today, I finished reading Daisy's book, Daisy Saves The Day, so here's my review! Guys, American Girl did great with this one. In recent years, I have became used to complaining about the downfall of the company and seeing the doll stories deteriorate in quality, but in terms of the story as its own thing, I have nearly nothing to complain about, and I think I know why.
