god the Bratz boy characters (Boyz) were so funny. there's so much gender going on here. these five utterly swagless men were as good as it got in the early 2000s.

loving this confirmation that da boys were all wearing the same pair of shoes. there was a buy one get four at the old navy and the lads had to get in on it.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

Thad™... they call me "SHARK" cuz' my CHARM sneaks up on you!

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

all of their entries on the Bratz wiki (wikiz?) are so funny because they're like. they're characters that are designed to be interesting for young girls who like playing dress up with dolls but they're also supposed to represent the abstract concept of a Teenage Boy, whatever the hell that is, so all of their personalities are like "loves to flaunt the coolest clothes and flashiest shoes! has a huge collection of belts, gloves, and hats that he takes great pride in! also enjoys uuuuh monster trucks and death metal"

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I'm so sorry to bring them up again but I'm back on the Bratz wiki and apparently all of these boys are Dylan

like okay, there's the guy we saw above. still wearing the same shoes, mind you!

this is the darkest Dylan ever gets but he also straightens his hair. or MAYBE those are meant to be braids, there might be some texture there but it's very hard to discern in this screenshot

and then there's uuuh extra ambiguous Dylan

and then he's just a third brunette white boy

and this, too, is Dylan

this franchise hates these boys so much that there's nega-continuity about them

This dress can be found in: the Kyoto Costume Institute

Reminds me of the new-er Rebecca Rubin Hanukkah dress.

Man I love G3 but sorting through all of my doll clutter..I kinda wish they'd give it a rest with all of these accessories. 😖 Second outfits would be less obnoxious to wade through.

[samantha-and-nellie]

i actually have a couple more random scans for y'all!

i popped by a local library the other week, and they happened to have these two lovely bookmarks in the bookmark swap container! i've scanned them both and made them available as pdfs:) kit's bookmark can be found here and molly's bookmark can be found here

[stuffedanimalenthusiast]

Thinkin about when the making of American girl book first started getting promoted and I was absolutely convinced we were gonna get rereleases of these outfits since they were in almost all the promotional stuff on the website. What a let down lol.

happy women’s history month

[mocktortis]

fucked up that as an adult people just expect you to leave the house without your favorite dolly.

[howevercantheafterbe]

Fun fact!!! You can take your favorite dolly with you anyway. I've taken dolls to restaurants, the library, museum events, movies, the doctor, shopping, etc. and no one has ever said anything beyond rare compliments. The only bad thing that's happened was my doctor assuming I was underage but it was an establishment visit and my mother was with me + doing most of the talking so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Would young princes also wish upon a star🌟

[cowplantblues]

I miss the old American Girl Doll website with the flash games

That game where you’re Kit and you have to sell eggs to buy a typewriter was the best and also 100% the reason I love resource management games today

[howevercantheafterbe]

Some are on the Internet Archive! I played the Kirsten honeybee game there like a year ago

[howevercantheafterbe]

Since the scans @samantha-and-nellie is doing for my Raquel books are coming out soon, I went ahead and made a little post on my book blog to compile links to the scans + related things, and any notes I have on them.

Raquel Reyes Book Scans

In June, I sent three of the books in my Samantha Parkington collection to @samantha-and-nellie on Tumblr so they could be digitally scanne

(Will be updated as the scans are released and stuff, so not all of the links work yet.)

[howevercantheafterbe]

Fully updated :D

[samantha-and-nellie]

Raquel Reyes Saves the Wedding is available as a PDF at this link!

yippee! we've made it to the final book that i had to scan from @howevercantheafterbe's collection--thank you again for sharing these with me! as i've said before on these posts, if any of you have other ag books that are not readily available online, i'm happy to organize books coming my way to do scans if that is something you are interested in! otherwise, i will be making a post about how i created these scans without a scanner. they are obviously not perfect, but they're readable and it is a way to make more books available to the community!

other notes about this pdf below the cut:)

you can once again tell the warping on the pages based on the little decorative upper border on some of them; please forgive me for not wanting to mash down the book to get those perfectly straight!

these scans have also been left with a photo-like quality. i think is a little more appealing to read; however, if anyone wants, there is the color-correction feature that makes it more like an ebook (like turning the pages backgrounds to white) that i could easily do! the only issue with that is that a lot of the illustrations become a bit funky, hence not defaulting to that originally

please let me know if there are any issues with pages! i'm pretty sure everything is in okay shape, but i will actually have these book for a bit longer and could easily rescan and reupload the pdf if anyone notices anything particularly egregious

my thoughts on raquel's books are incoming! and i hope some of you come chat or like send me asks with your thoughts because i would love to hear more perspectives:)
