Today, I had my 21st birthday party at American Girl, and it was such a special experience! I went with my sister, her boyfriend, and their respective roommates, and I had such a good time. We booked the private party room, and we got salad, pizza, cake and ice cream, as well as a doll crown craft and hairstyles for our dolls. I wasn't looked down upon for having my birthday here despite how old I'm turning - in fact, our party host said that their favorite parties were the o

Last night, @truthfully.frank on Instagram let me know that the soundtracks for Circle of Friends and The American Girl Reuve, American Girl's first 2 musicals, have been removed from YouTube.

As I stated in this post I made when American Girl released its Harry Potter products, the transphobic behavior that the author of Harry Potter

On January 8th, Jerome Frautschi, the husband of Pleasant Rowland, the founder of American Girl, passed away at the age of 94. His family stated, “Jerry’s vision and generosity transformed Madison (Wisconsin)’s cultural landscape, most notably through his support of the arts and community development.” May Jerome Fautschi rest in peace. I thank him for the support and love he showed Pleasant, as well as the philantrophy he spent his life contributing to in Madison.

Gabriela McBride is the Doll of the Month January 2026! "Gabby loves expressing herself--especially in the dance studio--but lately, poetry is becoming her art form of choice, and for good reason: Gabby struggles with stuttering, and spoken word poetry helps her speech flow more freely. Still, compared to how confident she feels on the dance floor, speaking up can be scary. When the city threatens to close her beloved community arts center, Gabby is determined to find a way t
