American Girl Doll News

I almost forgot about it if it weren't for the boys at school! All day at school today, they told the "three-humped camel" joke from Zootopia (one of my all-time favorite movies) and I was like "Oh shoot I forgot to give the shoutout!" It's to New York City, New York! I used to live in New York from birth until I was 5, but I used to live in Long Island. QUESTION OF THE POST: Have you ever been to a AGP? If so, what ones? My Answer: Yep! I've been to Charlotte too many times to count (random hi to Jill, Rachell and all of the other AGP Charlotte workers that read this blog!), LA twice and Orlando once. #April2016

Yep, you've heard it here first. Just know that you heard it here first. The next doll to be retired is Addy. How do we know? Well, a list of items that are going to be discontinued soon surfaced on the internet. The list includes Addy's Lunch Pail, her Inspired-By dress, her hairstyling set, her table and chairs, her Sunday best, her ice cream set, her bed and bedding and her bedroom accessories. If she stays, she'd only have 4 outfits and no accessory sets whatsoever. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But there is hope. I made a petition to save Addy. Click on the "Save Addy!" bubble in the header and sign there. Thank you. #April2016

I won second place in the Google Plus community American Girl Doll Edit's Spring Break contest! WHOO! My second place winning edit is above. It's of Just Like You 8 with Lindsey's hair color and Caroline's eyes. Bye! Sydney PS: A new episode of Me My Camera And Diabetes came out last night! COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Have you ever won a contest (both in real life and online)? If so, what ones? MY ANSWER: I won second place in a art contest back in second grade. I ended up making friends with the winner and we still are friends! #April2016

I posted this a couple of days late because I don't care, but Wellie Wishers are going to have their own animated series made by Mattel Creations. There will be 26 11 minute long episodes for 5 year olds to 7 year olds. I think the target market for Wellie Wishers is good because there is no in between Bitty Baby (aimed at ages 3-5) and the 18 inch dolls (8-108), but I don't really like it as a 11 year old. It follows a group of five friends who, in their colorful rain boots, set out to have fun and adventures. It doesn't say what channel or if it will be online. Now we finally know about the plotline! Question: What is your favorite TV show? (Netflix and YouTube count) Answer: I only watch regular TV when Girl Meets World is on, but my favorite TV show, counting Netflix and YouTube, is Cabin 4 by basilmentos. #April2016

Today is Rebecca's birthday! She was born this day in 1905, which makes her 111 today- haha! In her books, Rebecca celebrates her birthday with a trip to a real-life movie studio- where she gets to play a small role in the silent film The Suitor. QUESTION OF THE POST 1: What are you doing for Rebecca's birthday today? 2: Are you going back to school today? A1: Nothing, I don't have Rebecca. A2: Yes. Sadly, yes. #April2016

We know that American Girl is releasing a new line of dolls, Wellie Wishers, in August or September. But what we DON'T know is their stories. Amazon.com categorized all three books as Growing Up, Social Skills and Social Life and Growing Up and Facts Of Life. Book 1 is also tagged as Animals, more specifically Birds. Book 2's tag is Emotions and Feelings, and Book 3's tag is Performing Arts. Cool! COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Will you get a Wellie Wisher? MY ANSWER: My name is No, my sign is No, my number is No. NO! I WILL NEVER GET A WELLIE WISHER! #April2016

Nobody really likes Isabelle on here. Trust me, I hated her movie, but that was it and it is it. I loved her books, the doll (still kicking myself for losing her highlights 26 months ago) and her collection (except ugly green practice top). I decided to make a collage of Isabelle with different eye colors, hair colors and skin tones, to see what Isabelle YOU wanted Isabelle to look like. EYE COLORS Left- Isabelle with brown eyes, Middle- Isabelle with gray eyes, Right- Isabelle with blue eyes HAIR COLORS Left- Isabelle with brown hair, Middle- Regular Isabelle, Right- Isabelle with red hair SKIN TONES Left- Isabelle with Lea's skin, Middle- Isabelle with medium skin, Right- Isabelle with dark skin And, the grand finale, EVERY ISABELLE FEATURED ON THIS POST! Ta-da! I love getting comments, so I'm going to do a Comment Discussion Question at the end of every post. Question 1: What Isabelle was your favorite? Question 2: If I were to change another doll's hair, eye and skin colors, what one should I do? MY ANSWERS 1: I love the brown-haired Isabelle! Brown hair and green eyes is one of my favorite combos. 2: I think McKenna would be cool. #April2016

I have some sad news. PR Newswire stated this Friday morning: "The pricey line of dolls that you might have grew up with, American Girl, is ceasing operations 30 years after Pleasant Rowland (then 45), introduced Kirsten, Molly and Samantha into the hearts of 9-year old girls everywhere. Doll supply is limited. American Girl will fully cease operations on January 1, 2017." APRIL FOOLS! I've been waiting all year to prank you with this. Happy April Fools Day! #April2016

If any of you guys loved American Girl World, you must have been sad when I closed it last week. But now, my good friend aglover2 (or Lin) has brought it back! It's basically the same thing as the old one. Here's the new URL: http://myfirstworld.com/164904 #March2016

On eBay, I found some Bitty Baby pajamas. I don't really like Bitty Babies, but a leak is a leak and hey, might as well put it up! I know it is because of the symbol on the pajamas. #March2016
