Once upon a time, in the 1970s...
I keep trying to forget about Julie Albright, the new American Girl from that ancient era, the 1970s, but a note at Publishers Weekly made me break down and look her up.
What follows may not be news to you, but it was sure news to me:
They haven't just created a Julie doll.
Oh, no. You can also buy the Ivy doll.
And then I looked over to the left, and lo and behold, suddenly Molly, Samantha and Felicity all have friends, too. And you can buy different outfits for all of them.
