What Time Period Will Be American Girl's Next Historical?

-
Sorry I was gone for so long. I changed Blaire's name to Ophelia. Also, I'm seeing Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase today! Anyways, here's the post!!!

    I was on the American Girl Doll News site when I saw she had put a link to a video where American Girl's historian announced that they are working on a new doll. Yet, the question is, when will she be from. We don't know her (or his) name or time period. So what do we know? Well, that's what I'm kind of wondering too. Yet, there are some loose things we know that could help us keep a lookout for leaks. Here is a quick timeline of what American Girl has done. (I don't know the title for say of each era.)

 - Mid and Late 1700s- Kaya and Felicity
- War of 1812/1810s- Caroline
- Mid 1800s/1850s- Marie-Grace, Cecile, and Kirsten
- Civil War Era/1860s- Addy
- Victorian Era- Samantha
- 1910s- Rebecca
- Great Depression/1930s- Kit
- World War II/1940s- Nanea and Molly
- 1950s- Maryellen
- 1960s- Melody
- 1970s- Julie

   I said this a bit less than 2 years ago, but for Nanea, it seemed like American Girl was showing another "side" of life in World War II. In Nanea and Molly's stories they wanted the same basic things, yet they had different life situations. So, they easily could do this for another era as well. Two eras I think they could do are the 1920s and the 1980s. I'm not expecting the 90s, because American Girl seems to go pretty much in order now; not counting the skip of the 1920s. Although in the past I've leaned more towards thinking American Girl will make an 80s or 90s girl next, I have to disagree with myself this time. This is because the historian in the video mentioned how Pleasant Rowland and American Girl truly wanted to teach people through this whole thing. With the title 'Beforever' going away, it seems that they old American Girl is coming back. I feel that we can expect a new approach on teaching that will have American Girl having girls buy their dolls for the stories and hands-on learning, instead of solely based on appearance. American Girl is a big reason of why I'm so into history. I'm even trying to base Ophelia's style off of what I want mine to be. (Retro and floral to say the least.) So, therefore, I am going to guess the 1920s, because I feel (it could be just me though) doesn't really know what life was like back then for young girls. 
   Sorry for the break and how long this post was. 

 Thank you so much for reading!!!

    Ohh cool!I doubt they'll do this, but if it is 1980 or 1990, I would like them to do something with the Berlin wall, as I think the Emory traidmark would fit.

      Unfortunately The Berlin Wall didn't have much affect on the everyday life of an American Girl back in the 80s and 90s. I should know...I grew up during that time. In fact, there wasn't alot of historical significance in the 1980s at all. They'll probably focus more on pop culture and technology. Nothing extraordinarily profound. I would prefer the 1920s myself. There's more history there.

    Wow it would be so fun to have a doll from the 1920' s there would be so many amazing openings for the sets and other things.

    I think it will be a 1920s doll because it has seems that AG has seem to been "Filling in the gaps" with the beforever/historical doll in thew 20th century. beforever dolls it went
    1900:Samantha
    1910:Rebecca

    1990:
    in 2013 they retired molly making it so that there is no 1940s doll. in 2015 they released Maryellen Larking which is a 1950s doll. making it
    1900:Samantha

    they finally in 2017 they Released Nenea Mitchel another 1940s doll. now making it
    1900:Samantha
    1910:Rebecca
    1920:
    1930:Kit

    1960:Melody
    1970:Julie
    1980:
    1990:
    Now about the 19802s and 1990s well I don't think AG will be releasing dolls from that time period given that they came out then. in addition to that the AG dolls seem to have a pattern of ending in 4s (minus Caroline Marie-Grace, Cecile and Nenea. all for reasons of course. for all except Caroline they already had dolls from that time period ending in 4s that had retired. With Caroline they simply wanted to have a doll from the war of 1812 I suspect.) anyway Nothing exiting really happened in 1984 or 1994 except for a major earthquake in Los Angeles in 94. So I think they would have lots more from the roaring twenties. that's just my opinion.

    So thanks for reading my theory.

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...
