Meet Shazmeen, 2001
I had wanted to do a Muslim historical and had trouble designing her in a way that would speak to the shifts in Muslim women's dress in America, until I saw this post by @arcadialedger and realized that the early 2000s are historical now. If I made a doll of her, she would have medium skin and the Sonali mold, and dark brown curly hair. Her meet outfit and all of her clothes are hijab-friendly adaptations of the original American Girl of Today collection from when I was little.

Her story balances in scale between the great and the small: she's confronting the rise in islamophobia of the period, but she's also concerned about friendship and softball. The two come together when adults try to block her from playing on her team unless she takes off her hijab. Her series also explores the borders between Jewish-Muslim animus and Jewish-Muslim solidarity in America at that time, through her rival on the team, who eventually becomes her best friend, Liora.

Intro Post
I hope you're enjoying the ZoomInAG series!
I've realized that on the individual outfit posts Tumblr mobile does the zooming in for you, so it'll be blurry to look at. It shows up tiny and unblurred on browser though.
Here are some links that might be helpful:
Zoom In AG tag (just the art posts).
Rules of the game for how the series works.
Send me your doll or OC to draw link goes to a post with more info, which in turn has a link to a Google form with space for you to describe your idea or upload pictures or collages.
MistakesThere are definitely mistakes, and I'm open to corrections, especially if I got your culture wrong. Here's how to let me know.
Asks: I'm happy to post clips or zooms of anything I've posted before! Let me know if you would like to see:
A specific outfit and year ("Show me Addy's meet dress in 1875")
A specific run of an outfit ("Show me all of Addy's meet dress variations")
A specific year ("Show me everyone's meet dresses in 1875")
A decade or series of years ("Show me everything from the 1870s")
Any individual figure at 8x zoom ("Show me Addy in 1875 at 8x")

Meet Liora, 2001
Liora is Shazmeen's best friend, although they get off to a rocky start in Meet Shazmeen. If I made a doll of her, she would have light-medium skin and the #4 mold (shown with the Jess mold though). Like Shazmeen, her collection is pulled from the American Girl of Today line from my childhood.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Liora starts out as Shazmeen's rival on their softball team, but she becomes an ally in Shazmeen Learns a Lesson, and throughout the rest of Shazmeen's series they remain best friends. Liora is a Jewish adoptee from Korea who understands some of the ways in which Shazmeen feels torn. Softball and ice cream are the bedrock of their friendship.
