actually, if ag wanted to do something actually interesting with the twins AND incorporate judaism in a more meaningful way than (insert hanukkah reference here) AND validate them looking and dressing more like preteens/teens than 9-year-olds, they should do a story where the girls have to plan a joint bat mitzvah. they've been able to share a room even with their conflicting interests, but planning a shared bat mitzvah and preparing for it is a whole different story. teach goyim about what actually goes into a mitzvah and have a reason for the dolls to look older

There’s a scene in the new AG y2k twins’ Meet Book where they’re dancing in their bedroom to “I’m just a girl” by no doubt and I think it’s one of my favorite book moments now

Nicki and Isabel real

[kaileeandag]

Could just be me,but my mind kept hearing Summertime by Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Nicki, enjoying the spring weather outside! (How Bizarre by OMC plays…)

[kaileeandag]

So,I got Nicki and I noticed something

I was looking in Nicki’s journal and noticed that her and Isabel’s dad kind of looks like Eddie Vedder back when Pearl Jam was starting out.

Movies I Wish Existed | The Secret History (1993)

“I suppose at one time in my life I might have had any number of stories, but now there is no other. This is the only story I will ever be able to tell.”

[kaileeandag]

I was in 2nd grade when Nicki and Isabel’s story begins.

Anybody else get Sister Sister vibes?

My preschool years are officially historical now.

Bonus points for reusing the names of two Girl of the Year characters, and the third storyline set in Seattle.

Honestly, I would have rather they just brought their Girl of Today outfits from the 90s out of the archives.

i'm choosing to believe trey is just another double for dale cooper and hoffman is an ex friar so I can use sex and the city as a bridge between saw and twin peaks... it's all connected

Last night, I was thinking about the twins and was able to put my finger on what was still bugging me about them.

Despite it making us feel old, the 90s IS history (hell, yesterday is history!). AG is saying it, but I’m not sure they… mean it?

From the hints of the girls’ stories I’ve seen so far, the only anchoring historical event seems to be y2k. Everything else is nice enough, but certainly not unique to the 90s, and could be given to a goty instead.

Honestly? Y2K is not enough. It’s a little too safe. Yes, it was a big deal to the people who lived through it. However, it was literally just New Years, but cooler (and with a lot of programming work in the background to change years to be stored as four digits). What are the lasting effects that kids can recognize today? Because I see very few that can’t just be chalked up to the passage of time.

There was a lot more to the 90s than fashion, pop culture, and the biggest new years ever, but it kinda seems like those are the only parts AG is interested in portraying. When you put y2k up against some of the other historical events that other American Girls live through, even just the ones from the 20th century, it seems pretty silly. Second wave feminism, the Great Depression, the civil rights movement, and now….. new years but the number changes a bit more than usual!!!!!! Like. Cmon.

Even if they were wedded to portraying y2k, columbine, the effects of which are VERY much felt by kids today, happened that same year. But I kinda doubt AG will have the guts to even discuss it in the girl’s stories, which is really sad (and honestly one of the biggest downsides to more modern historical dolls - the history they’re covering is still too touchy for a lot of parents to be comfortable with).

Also, by pushing the girls to be in the late 90s, I’m betting AG is trying to worm their way out of having the 2000s girl live through 9/11 (i.e. watching it on tv) and the start of the war on terror. Which like. I get WHY (still too touchy for parents) but it’s really frustrating. 9/11 and it’s aftermath is arguably one of the most impactful events in American history, it’s stupid to dance around it. Felicity gets to live through the actual revolution but god forbid a more modern girl actually live through recent historical events.
