THE AMERICAN GIRL DOLL POLL

Poll

Apparently there are more dolls/books now? But Kit was BRAND NEW when I was 9 and I thought it was super cool that she had freckles like me.

Please rant about how great your favorite character is below.

I am perfectly ok with being very literally unamerican in this instance.

[saucydiva]

You are THE WORST like we came and TOOK YOU IN and TOLD YOUR OPPRESSORS TO TAX THEIR OWN DAMN TEA and we let you WATCH OUR TELEVISION SHOWS without even watching your shows in return, because they're boring/awful.

[courtknees1]

Well this is a tad aggressive and I don't know how to respond when this thread won't let me use any of my backing-away-slowly gifs.

[saucydiva]

I have to defend America. Remember when we shut down the government and the Australians tried to take over?

Never forget.

[beetsbearsbsg]

slow your over enthusiastic patriotic roll, bb. Like, seriously.

[saucydiva]

Awww, I'm just kidding. It was hilarious to take Courtney to the AG store; she was entirely disgusted, while Amber and I were delighted by all the things.

[throwingpens]

i mean it's okay to be australian but how much of this is you being jealous as there's no such thing as australian girl dolls?

[courtknees1]

idk, we just resorted to befriending real human girls instead.

I was more of a fan of plush animals anyway.

I bet Leslie Knope has an AG Doll. Not because she grew up with them - she just likes the history.

I bet she owns a Felicity (the American Revolution doll).

[throwingpens]

I bet she does, too. And Felicity was appropriately spunky for Leslie but I would have guessed Molly if I had a gut-reaction.

[lizinstereo]

Didn't Molly spend a lot of time pining for her dad? I think Leslie would like Felicity because she did things. She freed Penny or something.

[saucydiva]

She had a contest with the boys to see who could knit more socks/bring in more scrap metal, I think.

[lizinstereo]

I remember the dance recital/perm incident and her mother's victory garden.

[throwingpens]

THE SCRAP METAL DRIVE!!!!!!! YES! In the weird attic, and her sister with the perfect hair and pin curls. (Truefax, I, at one point, tried to do pin curls with my hair, because of Molly's glorious hair. It did not work. This was like, two years ago.)

[throwingpens]

I don't want to say "pining," but you might be right. She missed her dad (who was a doctor?) a lot. BUT MISS VICTORY!!!

Felicity was very complex which I liked. Remember her fighting with Elizabeth (?) about Tories? And her "historical note" section was some of the first american history I ever learned!

[ballroom_pink]

Definitely owns a Felicity doll.
