American Girl Doll News

I found a pair of shorts on cn_4222's eBay account! They are beautiful shorts and I am planning on getting them. They are paired with the tank top from the 2-in-1 Running Outfit in the photos. Here they are! The shorts are black with red and blue trim. It looks like something my mom would wear to 9 Round (a boxing gym she likes to go to). The shorts has "US" on them. I love these shorts! They are beautiful and I will be get them. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Lucky you! You can get any doll you want and retirement doesn't exist. What doll would you get? MY ANSWER: Melody. P.S: This is my 250th post!

And the shoutout goes to... Lombard, Illinois! COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: What did you have for dinner tonight? MY ANSWER: Pork chops and potatoes. Yum!

Are you going on vacation soon? Do you want to know if where you are going has an American Girl store? Look here: MY ANSWER: Any one where I met Pleasant Rowland. Don't care if it's at a supermarket or the AG headquarters.

Let's admit it, I'm crazy to put my computer in the ring because it's 2016 and we know next-to-nothing about Tenney Grant (GOTY 2017). But I think it's a good idea because I can look back at this post when it's 2018 and see if I was accurate or not. So, this post is all about Girl Of The Year 2018! We do not know her name yet, but here is my sort of guesses for her. I think her books will be written by Mary Casanova, because she has written the books for Jess (2006), Chrissa (2009), McKenna (2012) and Grace (2015). If you do the math, that is every three years. 2018 will mark it as being 3 years since 2015 (funny to think about because I was just accidentally writing the year as 2015 a couple of weeks ago), so I think it would just be common sense for that to happen. Speaking of patterns, I made a few collages of all of the GOTYs for the past 10 years in 2018 with even-numbered years. As this graph suggests, all of the even-numbered year GOTYs have tended to have hazel eyes, with the exception of McKenna. If we decide to include McKenna and go out on a limb and say that GOTY '18 will have blue eyes, they tend to have fair colored eyes. Though there is a 20 percent chance of GOTY '18 having blue eyes. The next (and final) collage has the even numbered yeared GOTY's hair colors. They normally range from red to blonde, but for non-leap even years, they are normally blond, while leap years are normally in the caramel range. Since this year (2016 if you are reading this in another year) was a leap year, she will most likely have blond hair, And for the skin tone, it is light to olive. I'm going out on a limb and shouting "MEDIUM SKIN!", but that might be impossible considering Tenney is African-American. There is still a chance. Also, for molds, there are two choices considering the collage: Classic or Josefina. I'm going with Classic because Grace and Lea both have the Josefina mold, and Tenney will most likely have the Sonali mold. But like I said, there is still a chance. Here are my graphs of chances: EYE COLOR HAIR COLOR SKIN COLOR FACE MOLD COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Where do you see yourself in 2018? MY ANSWER: As a successful director. I'll be 13, whew!

I meant for this to be published before I left for school, but sadly I was running late. Anyways, what did you think of the episode?

Sorry that I'm a few days late, but I don't really like the Wellie Wishers, but they are growing on me. I might get the redhead to act as Maryellen's little sister, Beverly. There are Wellie Wisher celebration events at American Girl stores starting June 24. Maybe this means that Melody won't get released until July or August. Please, American Girl, release her before July 22, because that's my diabetes diagnosis anniversary! Can I get her early, please? "Discover the world of the WellieWishers: five sweet and silly friends who wish to do good deeds. At this free event, your girl will learn about the new characters, enjoy hands-on crafts, go on a scavenger hunt, and decorate her own cookie to eat! (limit 1 per child, while supplies last) Free and open to the public." COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Would you rather get a billion dollars or free food for the rest of your life? MY ANSWER: A billion dollars.

I found these pajamas on the f106884 eBay account. These pajamas are inspired by the Pomeranian Puppy that was debuted in 2014 as a Costco exclusive and released a couple of weeks ago in stores and online. The top is green and has a picture of the Pomeranian puppy. The pants are pawprint and have elastic at the end. The slippers have a embroidered Pomeranian face on them. These are a set of elastic hairbands. I love everything about the outfit except for the slippers. Once it's out, I'll buy the set, lose one slipper (then it would become useless), and then YAY! Happiness. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Are you on summer vacation? If not, what day do you get out of school? MY ANSWER: I don't get out until June 9th.

I found this new American Girl dog on eBay. It might be for GOTY 2017, because it has embroidered eyes and the Truly Me pets have plastic eyes. I don't know what breed this is, but it is quite cute! It has a flower collar- who knows, judging on the flowers that leaked back in March and this collar, maybe next year's GOTY has a thing for flowers? It has a non-removable blue leash and a giant tag. What's next? Leash-sized tags? The dog is 15 inches tall. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: What do you think of the dog? MY ANSWER: I love it! As soon as it comes out, I'm getting it.

I bet you guys didn't know about any of these facts about the SM Network: -Me and Madison came up with the initial idea for the SM Network in our second grade classroom at lunch! -The most viewed video on our is "The 10 Year Old President Episode 4 Season 1", with 1,827 views. -The original version of Anita Stops The Bullying would've required tons of fake snow. Thank goodness we did away with those snow scenes! -We have a sequel rule. If a movie were to get a sequel, it's prequel would have to get 100 views in a month. What fact is most interesting?

American Girl is going to debut the "Store Of The Future" in fall 2017, when they will move the New York City store to Rockerfeller Center. Wade Opland, the senior vice president of American Girl stores, said, "We’re taking this opportunity to go to a new location and design new customer experiences." There will be another American Girl Signature Studio, plus a room for personalized birthday parties and yes- girls will get hair styling services for the first time ever. There will also be a media studio with American Girl stop motion classes, as well as cooking and yoga classes. The new address with be 75 Rockerfeller Plaza. “This store will be the reinvention," Opland emphasizes. "It really is our store of the future, and from this one, we will evolve our other stores over time." Racked NY said this: "Put another way, American Girl views the new flagship as an incubator where it can test ideas and then roll them out to the brand's 19 other locations across the country, as well as shop-in-shops in Canada and Mexico: “We are going to take elements of what we’re building here, learn on them, make sure they’re wildly successful with girls, and then take pieces to other stores as we continue to evolve our retail portfolio to make sure we’re relevant in all the other cities.”The new store fits in with a bigger brand refresh customers will notice in the coming year. “We’re evolving as a total brand," says Opland, "and this will be one expression of that."" What changes will be coming in 2017? Here's some concept art of the new Store Of The Future: I love this! My dad will too, as he is a huge fan of technology. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Who is your favorite BeForever doll? MY ANSWER: Maryellen all the way!

When I got back from school today, I had a snack, went on here and posted, and then did the 20 minutes of Dreambox my teacher wants us to do every day until the End Of Grade test. When I was done, I went to my room to get my iPad to film, and then BANG! I saw a new doll! She's my 31st doll- crazy, I know. I will still hold out on more until Melody comes out (this is the longest time I went without getting a doll in a year (got April on Feb. 27)- oops!), but this was a total surprise and I only had the slightest clue. Want to know what doll I got? Watch her opening video here: I will add her picture to the blog header tomorrow (so I can keep it a surprise) and I will put her Virtual Doll up when I pick out a name for her. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Name suggestions for my new doll? COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION #2: If you could choose any day of the year for you to get a doll randomly, what day would you choose? I have no response for the first one, but I would want to get a doll on the Fourth of July one year. I have a big fear of fireworks and the noise it makes (I should dread New Year's too but there's the new GOTY coming out so yeah). But, I wouldn't able to get a doll for my diaversary (diabetes diagnosis anniversary).

Because the temporary store in Indianapolis, Indiana was a huge success, American Girl is going to open a NEW STORE there!
