American Girl Dolls - Blog Posts

This is one of my favorite pieces I’ve done because it is so nostalgic for me! I used to make AG stop motions and draw AG dolls all the time as a kid, they were such a big part of my childhood and I made some of my favorite memories with them! ♥️

Soooooooo

I’m making my official recommendation for the girl of the year 2025 (I know 2024 just started but I’m down a rabbit hole right now)

So a lot of us are upset about the fact that there’s a continual of variety in all of the lines that American Girls produces (other than World by us, which is currently one sale and I think that says something)

I know we mostly focus on race but I personally would also like to see so more disability representation (they don’t even have a walking stick or cane available)

So, my suggestion is an Albino girl of African descent with a beautiful Afro who is blind. She could have an interest in anything (I like the idea that she’s a writer) but maybe give her a story about how she stands against the ableism, racism and hairism of the world. There are still little girls who get sent home from school because of their natural hair.

I personally think this would be a beautiful chance to share educate kids of all walks of life about the challenges all types of people face.

Anyway. I was thinking about it.

(Unrelated but I’m about to snatch up an Evette and I’m so excited cause I love her design so much and am so excited to read her story)

reblogging this for my recently reignited love of the Historical Characters of American Girls! Love these books!

kirsten, josefina, addy, kit and julie's family and friends! :D

hi, y'all!

many moons ago (around 2013!), i blogged here as em panasonicrxft500. this place was the home of my teen angst, mountain goats blogging, and lots of other sweet, special memories. for those of you who are still here: hello again! it's nice to be back. since then, i grew up, transitioned (my name is emmett now!), and met my lovely wife harriet and girlfriend colette. i became an artist, specializing in digital illustration, mixed media, small press, and brand design, and started tabling at festivals with my art! i still love the mountain goats, and even got to work for their label, merge records, for a couple of years. so why tumblr again? like a lot of folks, i was pretty sickened to see zuck on stage with trump during the inauguration. so i've decided to ditch meta, return here, reuse this space as a home for my art and design!

if you want to find me other places, links are on my website! i also have a dedicated blog for doll stuff @meltycatdolls.

please feel free to reach out and say hi, and look forward to more art stuff soon as i figure out how to get better at posting my stuff on the internet.

love,
