How Toys R' Us and Kohl's are Bringing American Girl Down

-
I've talked about it a little, but I feel it needs a full post. I'm not the only one who thinks this, and don't get me wrong, I think it is better in states without an American Girl store. The problem is that they are being sold like any other Mattel product, products that they don't even compare to but may in the near future. If you didn't know about American Girl and saw them in a Toys R' Us, you'd think they were stupid overpriced items, which once again they may become in the near future, but that's for another post. It's hard to explain, but what I'm trying to get at is that American Girl will not thrive if their dolls are being marketed like Barbie dolls. It's way more fun to go to a store dedicated to one thing filled with people who are obsessed with that thing than go somewhere with a bunch of different things with people who obsess over different things. It feels nice to be with your people, that's what I'm trying to get at. Do you agree or disagree?

 Thanks for reading!!!

Rainy Day (Blaire Short Story #1)

-
    First off, these aren't in any particular order, just little short stories about Blaire and what I think could happen in one of her stories. Also, sorry I'm writing this so late, I was going to write this yesterday, but I forgot to. In other words, I'm writing this at school. I hope you enjoy the story! (It's in Blarie's point of view.)      I stepped outside, that's when I remembered; it was raining. So then I turned around and went back inside. I wasn't wet thanks to the awning over our front porch. I went to the coat closet in my family's entry way and pulled out my lavender rain jacket and my floral umbrella. I threw on my rain jacket and opened the umbrella once I got onto the front porch. I then headed out in the pouring rain to the barn. My morning chore was to feed the animals and look for chicken eggs, which only took about forty-five minutes. Yet, I was often in the barn for much longer, just talking to the animals about my day; like they...

Regarding the Quality Change Rumors

-
    Yes, I know I left the Blaire short stories on a bit of cliffhanger, but I can't think of what to write next for the story. Plus, I feel like I'd probably end up making it a mystery because I'm writing a mystery story right now. I'm on my 11th chapter. Now, here's the actual post.      I wanted to address this because I've heard a lot about it and there are some things we need to remember. First thing that we need to remember, is that this is a rumor. We don't actually know if American Girl's quality will be all back to normal on January 1st. After all, that would take a lot of work to fix. This rumor was first addressed in late November, I believe and if it's true it would still take so much time to make all of those dolls. Remember, they need ones for shipping, and all of the AG stores. Even if they had figured this out earlier, it still just seems unlikely for it to be true. Secondly, even if it is true, American Girl hasn't addressed th...
