Additionally, 5 out of the 6 Modern Era Collection historical WellieWisher-sized dolls have started shipping.

A certain American Girl actress just announced some big news today.. so to celebrate, I figured I'd update my post from 2024 about where the American Girl actresses are now in 2026!

She graduated from NYU in 2018 and got married in 2022, and her latest movie, a Sylvester Stallone bi

To American Girl's social media team, It pains me to say this. It pains me every time I have to criticize the brand that I love. But yesterday's post on your social media has given me yet another reason to criticize the corporate machine that has taken control of the dolls that I grew up with. Why? Because instead of hiring a real artist to commemorate the anniversary of a popular TV show, you generated AI "art" of Coconut. I could probably name dozens of artists who would ha

March. April. May. Some days, I forget to make a post here. Now that I'm in college and engaging in homework, book writing, screenwriting and political work, some days, it slips my mind, even though I LOVE this blog and American Girl. But some days in the spring, when I forget, I open the blog up, and I see that a post came up automatically. Phew! I didn't really forget, right? It was a random doll's birthday. Another March, April or May day where a doll celebrates her big da

In April 2019, I made a post detailing every American Girl spring dress/outfit that had released up to that point. Here's the link for those who haven't seen that post! Now that spring is here, I figured I'd revisit that idea and showcase the spring dresses that had released since I published it almost seven years ago! The 2020 spring dress was the Fresh Lemons Market Outfit. It retired in 2021 and cost $28. 2021's dress was the Dot to Dot Dress. It retired in 2023 and cost

This month's Doll of the Month is Kira Bailey! "Kira Bailey is living her dream: Cuddling koalas and bottle-feeding baby kangaroos. Kira and her mom are spending the summer at a wildlife sanctuary in Australia helping her aunt Mamie, a veterinarian, care for the animals. When Kira falls in love with an orphaned koala joey, her joy is complete—until a health emergency pulls Aunt Mamie away. Suddenly Kira can’t seem to do anything right. She’s put the wombats and her beloved ko

In 2020, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Americans everywhere took to the streets to demand justice for the Black community in the wake of several murders of Black people at the hands of the police, most notably the murder of George Floyd. This led to many corporations making promises to the Black community and communities of color that they'd do better for them. In American Girl's case, this meant more representation in dolls, stories and products. In 2020, there were
