#American girl today
Text
A while ago I saw an Instagram post from a person who said they always put their GOTY dolls in the Truly Me holiday outfits from the GOTY’s year, and I love that idea so much! Some holiday outfits seem to be specially made for their GOTYs.
I want to draw all the GOTYs in their respective holiday outfits when we get to the holiday season later this year!
But I have a dilemma: What should Lindsey be wearing?
As we know, Lindsey is Jewish, so I cannot draw her in an outfit that is intended for Christmas.
This rules out the 2001 Holiday Outfit, the Garnet Holiday Outfit, because it is red and thus associated with Christmas:
Now you’re probably thinking, why don’t I just draw her in the 1996 Hanukkah Outfit?:
Well, you see, this outfit was retired in 1999, two years before Lindsey debuted. My requirements for this art series is that the doll must be wearing an outfit that was being sold at the same time they were being sold. And that is why Lindsey can’t wear this outfit.
However, I found another option; the Ice Blue Outfit!:
This outfit was released in 2001, the same year as Lindsey! I only know about this dress from the AG wiki, so I have no idea how this outfit was marketed, but based on its name, it was a winter themed outfit. And its colors are blue and white/silver, colors associated with Hanukkah, making it a perfect fit for Lindsey!

The combination of no sleeves and Emi's Pre-Mattel Chunk are making this a very 'sun's out, guns out' type look!
Still, the outfit didn't feel complete until I added some butterfly clips to her hair. This outfit was released in 1999, after all.

was just watching a deep dive on why the 90s AG characters suck and
the American Girl twins of 1999, age 9: we're going to do a cool Spice Girls dance for the New Millenium celebration! it'll be da bomb!
me on December 31, 1999, age 6: MOTHER I MUST RESEARCH THE LOCH NESS MONSTER ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB RIGHT NOW
#Y2K#american girl#genuinely that's what I spent that day doing#I had a New Millenium-themed Cabbage Patch Kid doll? but she wasn't as cool as my big sister's Samantha (with ACCESSORIES!) so#keep in mind I was already a nerdy child who wasn't allowed to watch any non-PBS TV so I may not be representative#but I enjoyed the Girl of Today sections of the AG catalogue and those dolls didn't look like Isabel and Nicki#they looked like. real prepubescent children in the late 1990s

✨Lindsey Bergman✨
#Idk what scooters look like#Lindsey as a concept is low key so funny to me#Listen. Listen#Pleasant Company really went: Let's make a modern character. Like the girl of today dolls but with like her own character#Oh what's her story gonna be about? Is it going to feature modern issues? Since it won't be about historical events?#Nah she's just gonna be a menace to society#Local girl destroys elementary school pet parade; vandalizes private property; interferes with the private lives of teachers#and ruins her brother's bar mitzvah. More at 6.#my posts#my art#american girl

I had one more pair of glasses than I had glasses cases, and that bugged me, so I decided one more modern doll needed to become bespectacled. After all my glasses-less dolls had tried some on, I decided that Sameen had suddenly become a bit near-sighted.

I feel like I need a tinfoil hat rn...
So I was looking at the american girl wiki page for “retirement”, hoping they had a link to the old archives that I could use in the wayback machine (sadly, no). In the wiki article, the “digital museum” is mentioned, so i decided to check it out, and see if there were any old promo images I could snag from there.
Sadly, it’s a kinda janky 3d experience, so I couldn’t grab any images, but I DID find some kind of surprising things.
To start us off, not very surprising, here’s Kit’s room in the museum:
It makes sense that they’d make it for her original look, as we know it’s coming back soon, and development of rereleases and digital content both take ages, so the developer of this weird little digital experience probably was told before they started. It also looks, to my eye, like a new stock photo, but I could be wrong. Funny, but not weird. Let’s look at some other historicals!
Huh. Okay, that’s a little more out there. Sam’s in her original outfit, with her beforever bed. Off-screen, her old side table and trunk are also in the room, 3D-modeled with about the same level of detail as the bed (so... not much). A little odd, but probably meaningless. It IS weird, though, that they would show Sam in her old outfit, since she’s currently being sold in her new one, though she’s cubed atm. I’m 99% sure that’s an old stock photo though, so nothing groundbreaking, just weird.
Well now that’s a bit out there as well. Same issue as Sam - why would they show off the doll in the old outfit? I just don’t get it. But it still looks like an old stock photo, so it’s fine.
Kirsten! nice to see you buddy. Even though she’s not being sold atm, it still makes sense they’d put her here, as she’s one of the original three. I’m also convinced they’re planning to bring her back eventually anyways, so this is nothing groundbreaking to me.
Huh. It seems like all the cubed girls are in their old outfits. I still think it’s weird, but now that a pattern has been established, it seems almost less weird? Though I do think the implicit message that the old outfits are better is hilarious.
Girl what. This is where I started scratching my head. I suppose a similar argument could be made for Felicity’s inclusion that I made for Kirsten: she’s more core to the brand than some of the other retired historicals. But there’s some odd details. First, that logo is a new variant of her BeForever logo that we haven’t seen yet. But that could be explained by the developer changing the colors to suit her old look better - it’s not that wild.
However, second: is that a new stock photo? This is where I started feeling like I needed the tinfoil hat lol. My only good explanation for this one is that it’s not a new photo, I just haven’t personally seen it before. Which is very possible! So if you have, let me know, I guess??
All the other (currently available) historical characters were in their current outfits, and there were no other retired historicals present.
In my opinion, I don’t think this is solid evidence for anything in particular, but it is possible that they are going to eventually bring Felicity back, or at least it was being discussed when development started on this project (even if it’s not actually going to happen). Whether or not this is evidence, it’s still fun!
