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:

She has a friend

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.
