American Girl, I'm ashamed of you!
I just got the latest catalogue in the mail, and I was appalled at what appears to be an attempt to whitewash the historical girls. The newest girls, Julie (1974) and Rebecca (1914) had the largest spreads, while Kit, Molly, Kirsten, and Felicity all had a couple pages each. Josephina and Kaya each had only one page (side by side after all the others), and Addy was nowhere to be found.
I don't what what they were thinking...
Addy was featured in the front page lineup... SO WHY WAS SHE NOT THERE?! And why put the other two girls of color in as an afterthought?
This is not the same company I loved as a little girl.
(I still haven't forgiven them for eliminating Samantha either...)
