The American Girl Theory

      I have begun to look through the American Girl community for the first time in around 2 years, and boy oh boy have things changed! And quite honestly, I am adoring the changes! I thought I would mention some things that I have noticed, some opinions I'm having about the American Girl of the 2020s, and some updates for this blog!      Starting off, here is a consecutive list of changes I've noticed, both within the brand of American Girl and the American Girl fanbase. Within this list are my thoughts, most of which are very good! Courtney!  I was actually aware of Courtney pretty close to her release, I just didn't feel that much of an urge to post about it. I think she's super cute, but she just isn't my style! I love her arcade and Caboodle! I also loved the touch of giving her her very own American Girl doll! My only critique is that apparently her eyes have a slightly downward gaze, but it doesn't seem to be that noticeable. World By Us I am i...

     So, it's been... quite a while. Yes, I did not post in July. But, that's besides the point. I don't really know what to post on this anymore, which is why I haven't been posting. Yet, today, I do have something to post about. This part will be shorter though. So, with the end of Beforever, the historicals' clothing has been looking a lot more like it used to. Less neon and bold, more realistic. So, I'm very happy about that. Yet, I would really like them to stop cubing. Just archive dolls. Get rid of the Wellies or Bitty Baby. So, that's all I really have to say on that. Now, onto updates. -What's going to happen to this blog? It will still be up, I'll just be posting a lot less because there are no American Girl leaks anymore and I don't have a store near me. -I will be posting on my other blog ( https://thebookshelfintheforest.blogspot.com/ ) every day in October. So, if you want to go check me out there, feel free! I'll be posting...

   I honestly don't know if I'm going to keep adding to Holly and the Ukulele . I also probably won't post on here until there is actually something to post about. I made this for theories and that isn't what Holly and the Ukulele  is. I will be active on my other blog though, and here is the link to that:  https://thebookshelfintheforest.blogspot.com/ Thank you so much for reading!!! ~Ella

I'm posting earlier today (pretend I wrote this today and not on Monday) because this is kind of unimportant. Anyways, I was checking the American Girl Trademarkia page Monday and realized that the Emory and Emory Van Zant trademarks are dead. This makes me think that we won't be getting Emory. Okay, that's all. American Girl is confusing and now I'm thinking that Joss will be the next new doll because it's the newest trademark and it also a last name. Thanks for reading!!! ~Ella

I NEED to stop taking breaks for so long to the point where I need to do updates. Some of the ideas I had for posts I've discarded and in my post tomorrow or Wednesday I'll dive more deeply into that. So. I need to start writing again. I'll post the second chapter of Holly and the Ukulele on Friday. I'm also thinking I will write the 3rd chapter as well and then let you guys choose where the story goes. Here's a quick summary of tomorrow's post: Pretty much just me explaining what I'm changing with this blog and my collection because a lot of my stuff doesn't fit in with what I like anymore. Hence the name, End of an Era. DOn't worry I'm not leaving!!! I love this blog, it's just hard to find stuff to post about. Anyways, see you tomorrow or Wednesday!!! Thanks for reading!!! ~Ella

        Look, I never wanted to make this post. I wasn't planning on making a post addressing this until yesterday. Anyways, flashback to yesterday, my friend informed me that the AG store closest to where I live is closing. Now, before I talk about the future of this blog, I want to talk about American Girl. I know that people, including myself, are upset about the closing of the Boston and MOA AG stores. But here is why I think this could be a good thing for American Girl. Firstly, in my opinion every American Girl store except for the AG Places should close. I just feel like this would be best for American Girl since it could help them save some money. Another thing is that I feel like American Girl just kind of needs to restart. I've said it before and I'll say it again, American Girl just isn't marketing to the right audience. Even if younger kids are going to American Girl more, it would help if AG would market better. For example, people 12 and up would spend ...
