” target=”_blank”>American Girl of the Year 2015

The cat’s out of the bag.  Details on the American Girl of the Year 2015 are leaking out!  The book has been added to Amazon so you can pre-order it.  It will not officially be released until January of 2015.  However, the book preview is showing.  You can read it below.

” target=”_blank”>Nine-year-old GOTY is always thinking up big ideas, like starting a business with her friends over the summer! When Mom announces a trip to Paris instead, GOTY gets on board, but it quickly seems as if none of her plans are working out the way she’d hoped. She and her French cousin aren’t getting along, and GOTY’s friends back home have started a business without her. Can she find the courage to stay open to new ideas and turn the summer around? 

We do know that the characters for the movie have been cast and it’s a big hush hush on names and appearances.  It’s almost cruel to announce the book, pick the characters and then not show us a picture or give us any information on the girl of the year!

Hummm.  What do you think?  Like?  Love?  Unsure?  Will she herself be French?  We don’t know and it’s so exciting.  I have heard talk now for about a year that the “people” wanted an American Girl Doll of the Year with a disability.  Maybe 2015 will bring us that doll?

What are your thoughts/speculations of the American Girl of the Year 2015?

    I wiSh American girl would make a goty tennis player or at least an outfit but what’t really sad is that every story AG makes they always make them sound picture perfect like a fairy-tale it will always turn out perfect in the end so many girls’ lives are hurting! Some girls may not have a loving family! The least they can do is lower their prices!

    The thing that I hate about American girl is that they are making Goty dolls with too similar of a story. Like Saige and Nicki they both like horses and animals, Isabelle and Marisol they both dance! And Grace’s hair and eyes look too much like Chrissa. The worst part is that practically Jess and Grace have the same story. They go out of the USA on a trip. There more dolls that are similar but these are just a few. I’m just saying but those 3 Goty dolls don’t seem so special anymor

    Katarina( pronounced katuhrenuh) lives to run. She Has just finished the last day of Elementary Scool and is really exited for her report card. She has never gotten anything lower than an A. When she gets it she screams in surprise. She got a D for her highest grade.Thinking they gave her the wrong one, she has her parents call her school. The school says it is write and to send Katarina to summer scool. Kat runs to her room and calls her friend Zoe. Zoe says she got only A+ and would be going to running camp. Not wanting to admit her grades, Katarina ends the call. When she gets home from her first day of summer school, Zoe calls Kat. Zoe tells her that at her old school, she always went to summer school, and finaly she learned how to balance school and running. The next day during summer school, because she studied last night, she got all the awnsers right. Kat then doesn’t have to come in the afternoon, so she gets to go to running camp.

    A girl who lives with her mom and little sister and visits her dad on weekends cuz her parents are divorced. Their family has very little money and has to go to the food pantry for food. The one thing she has for sure is a good style. She never had any friends from Florida but when she moves to Indiana she finds two good in school friends and a good in school, on the bus friend. She wants to hang out with her friend Julianna but she doesn’t know how to ask. One day she finds out she has a problem with a bone in her ankle after collapsing in gym. She gets crutches and is going to be on and off them after it heals half way. Will her need for help with crutches bring her closer to Julianna?

She has a dog who is a Pomeranian named Minty. She is a new student in the middle of the school year because she has finished a school fir disabilities. She gets bullied by girls in her class. The bullies med are Sasha and Caitlin. She then finds a girl in the back of the class is in a wheelchair to. The girl in the wheelchairs name is Amethyst who you can also buy. Amethyst tells her about her past and they become best friends. The girls older brother finds out about the bullying and stands up fir her and Amethyst.

    They should make a doll about a cheerleader named lily that lives in Frisco, Texas. She really dreams of being a horseback rider but she can’t follow that dream until her cheer life is over. When she was 7 she went to a ranch called Wind River Ranch and ride a horse named Rosco. That changed her life forever so she wanted her own horse so she could ride every day but she didn’t have enough room for the horse. When she was 9 she got a gift for Christmas. That gift was a horseback riding lesson. She couldn’t wait.

    Skin- peach/tanish

    Hair-golden blond

    Eyes-blue

    runs away, but when she gets to Lincoln, she meets another girl named Lory. Lory has a metel hand too! Lory teaches her that it is okay to be different. Mikalah calls her parents and they cam pick her up.

    P.S. This could be based in the future.

  50. Abbey
    December 27, 2014 at 5:29 pm –

    I think that they should have A black girl that plays soccer and she is the only black girl on the team. she should be made fun of but finds a way to fix it.

    December 27, 2014 at 4:48 pm –

    Another idea that could even start a new line;

    11 year old Mikalah just went through the worst surgery of her life. She is now a cyborg. Her hand and her leg(both left) are now metel. Unfortunatly, not everyone looks through kind eyes at cyborgs.Plus, her new limbs remind her of the crash,how she got them, and how her mom died. When she goes to school, even her BFF makes fun of her. Mad she

    Maybe 2016 GOTY could be named Skyla and have a twin brother named Skylar. Skyla loves writing and acting, unlike her brother, who only likes to play football. Skyla enters a writing contest and wins, but her brothers big game is the same time on the same day. Her Dad is out helping being a medical assistant in the war, so they can only go to one. Skylar manages to convince there mom that his is more important. Although angry and frusterated, Skyla goes. At the game, Sklar falls and breaks his arm. They then are about to go to the hospital, but Skla cant go with, so her aunt brings her home. Finally, 2 days later, they return from the hospital. An hour later, the dad returns home.

    Skyla:

    Skin:Dark Brown like her Dad

    Eyes: Carmal

    Hair: Layered wavey black waist length

    Skylar:

    Skin:Carmal like mom

    Eyes:blue

    Hair:black

    I loved Elizas idea from October 1st but I also have one:

    A doll who is a hockey player and goes through some troubles with girls at school making fun of her being a hockey player and her dad us the coach of the team. A friend on her team becomes the new girl at school and they get through a lot together. Her friends name would be Chloe, the bully would be named Vivian but goes by ViVi. She would live in Minnesota

    Name: Alicia Christa Waters

    Hair: dark brown with dark red streaks medium length wavy

    Eyes: Green

    Skin: Tan like a little lighter than Kananis

    I also have another idea for a doll:

    A doll who is a piano player and singer( because they don’t have a musician GOTY) She would live in Oregon but takes a trip to Washington DC where she plays in the white house for the president. She would then play on television the star spangled banner for a hockey game while down there and conquers her fear of being scared to perform in front of a lot of people with the help of her dog, Sparky, a German shepherd. She is paralyzed so she is in a wheelchair and is deaf. ( remember Beethoven he was a deaf pianist to) She is an only child and lives with her mom cuz her dad died last year. She has a best friend who is like a sister and does go to DC with her named Abigail Jocew.

    Name: Brooklyn Rachit

    Hair: Purple with white tips

    Eyes: Blue with a brown flick on one

    Skin: Tan a little lighter than Kananis

    Btw: The New doll is Grace Thomas who is a baker and goes to paris

    Black hair

    Vietnamese, Japanese, or Chinese

    Tan or medium skins

    Dark brown eyes

    Plays the flute

    OR……

    Brown hair

    Jamaican, Nigerian, or South African

    Darker skin

    Chocolate brown eyes

    Plays the trumpet

    Yes, I know it’s American, but what about children adopted or immigrants? But it would be cool to do one of the ideas above or an Alaskan person.

    December 22, 2014 at 8:38 pm –

    Sorry but there are too many white or light girls. Even if they are white they should at least have green or brown eyes. there are too many blond dolls with white skin and blue eyes. The comments above describe blonde hair, white skin, and blue eyes, but that is practically the Caroline doll with different clothes.

    PS i have sent this idea to american girl

  73. Meg
    December 18, 2014 at 2:01 pm –

    My American Girl thought idea is a girl called Meg. She is a keen water-skier from Florida. She has been skiing since she was three and wakeboarding from five years old. Meg is now thinking about entering a water-ski competition. But can she do it….she needs to believe in herself!

    I thought this was a great idea for an American Girl of the year because:

    – You have never had a water skier doll.

    – You have never done most of these accessory ideas.

    – Water skiing is a popular sport in Florida, America.

    – There are plenty of accessories that could be made!

    Here are some details of Meg and her accessories that I came up with.

    Meg – light skin, long wavy blonde hair down to hips, blue eyes, earrings, freckles and a silver “Meg” bracelet.

    Meg’s chilly bin and food – ice (plastic) in the chilly bin, 3 ice blocks, 3 fizzy drinks, 3 juice boxes, 3 American hotdogs

    Meg’s Bedtime set – multi colored summer onesie, purple eye mask with MEG written in bright blue and orange and purple slippers.

    Meg’s water sport set- pink and red ski rope, blue, green, pink and black single ski, pink, white, black and blue wakeboard, pink and blue wetsuit with a “M” in the corner and a purple life jacket.

    Meg’s beach outfit – red, white and orange stripe maxi dress, silver flip-flops and a floppy hat.

    Meg’s bikini and flip-flops – red and white stripy bikini top and bottom, plain red flip-flops.

    Meg’s beach accessories – multi colored beach umbrella, blue towel flower in top left corner and in bottom right corner and American girl written in the middle, multi colored beach ball, kids sun block, blue and red bucket and spade and a pink beach bag with a flower in the top left corner and AG in turquoise in the middle.

    Meg’s boat – room for 1 driver, 2 passengers in the back and 2 passengers in the front room for a chilly bin and built in speakers the front and back of boat. Maybe with the ability to plug in you own iPod or phone.

    Meg’s biscuit-room for Meg and her two BFF’s.

    Prize pack-trophy, certificate and bikini.

    plz comment on my idea i would love to hear your thoughts

    I’m working on my own story for a doll I designed

    She’s an 11 year old latino girl who moves to north carolina after her parents divorce and her moms remarrige. She is captain of the girls basketball team at her new school and she volenteers at an animal shelter. The animal shelter suffers from a fire and it is up to Noa (that’s the girls name) to raise enough money to help fix the shelter and help get the animals adopted before they get put down. Noa has trouble balancing planning a fundraiser and her school work along with leading her team to victory with the upcomming county championship fast approaching and she buckles under the pressure and is too afraid to ask for help from her friends but with a helpful pep talk from her mom and help from her team she manages to get many pets adopted and adopts one her self, a guinea pig named forrest. Her team gets 2 nd place In the championships but learns a lesson that she needs to be proud of what she does and can’t be afraid to ask for help when she needs it most. She has black hair and dark skin with grey eyes

    I would love to see an Asian GOTY.

    They could either have her be adopted or a 2nd generation immigrant. Both would have the struggle of not knowing much about their country of origin due to having grown up only in America but would still most likely face certain stereotypes and if she was a 2nd generation Asian would have expectations from her family that she may not agree with.

    Just random idea for goty though if my chance thy do use it know it won’t be for long time. A girl in wheelchair with light brown hair green eyes skin tone doesn’t matter as tjat is not what girls look at and she should be on a wheelchair basketball team and as hobby play on softball team that doesn’t discriminate with a pinch runner. Her favorite colors are,purple,aqua and lime green. She does enjoy some more girly stiff but her favorite things are definitely basketball and baseball. Food allergies are optional and she generally likes most foods.

    Just my thoughts. I can’t wait till January first to find out what we get,

    Also could ne girl with dark brown hair blue eyes whom has only one hand she was born with out her right hand and despite lack of a hand she enjoys playing soccer,

    Also to buy the wheelchair separately on just like you doll cost even more money and doll is expensive as is. And ATM American girl is really lacking in doll outfit choices. I want more purple,aqua,lime,green and orange to start with for different outfit choices I am sick of the soft blues the pinks and whites sometimes with little yellow sprinkled in. The most creative crescent outfits where McKenna’s and that was like 2 yrs ago. They need more outfit choices.

    I totally agree with the Ombre style! For one, the doll would be very different, but unique too! They have never done this hair style before and they should try it. If American girl should even consider adding hair extensions like the one that comes with Isabelle but, make it hair colors like the buns and the braid hair pieces. This would create a unique style for the doll and could even create a better look alike doll for you considering the Ombre hair style was popular this summer!

    Here’s a trick on how to get the new GOTY

    Set your computer or phone clock ahead of time so you can get it a few hours early!!! I can’t wait and I hope that they do a not so typical girl. I love Isbella because I dance and see but, they already kind of did that and that’s a cliche fake white girl story!

  85. natasha
    November 26, 2014 at 5:25 pm –

    I also agree that american girl needs to become more racially and culturally diverse with the new dolls. The retiring of Cecile was a bad move on their part. regarding the GOTY dolls, I heard that it takes them 4 years to develop a girl of the year doll and do all the research for her. Unfortunatly it’s unlikely that they will be able to make a black or other non-white goty soon because they’ve already started on 2016 and most likeely 2017 as well.

    I do have an idea for a goty though…

    STORY: 12 year old Amber loves to skateboard, it’s her whole life pretty much. But, one day she’s trying a super duper risky trick and ends up hurting her leg beyond repair. She ends up having to get a prosthetic leg. She wants to give up since skatboarding is harder with her leg. but, she learns not to give up and she learns how to skate again and enters a big contest for skateboarding and wins.

    Being a girl skateboarder (one of few), I think that this is a really good idea. It also incorporates the idea of a disability. ?

    I think they should make a white girl with hazel eyes and auburn colored hair named Taryn.

    She plays soccer, and loves to read. She is very competitive, along with her best friend Hope, who both play midfield in soccer. Taryn lives on a farm, and has a pet dog named Alaska ( or whatever) and a cat named Simba.

    At school one day, Taryn finds a sign up sheet for the school play, and she wants to try it out. Hope disagrees with her, saying how they need to stay focused on soccer, if they ever want to make it to the Fifa World Cup. Taryn tries to figure out if she will sign up while on her way home, a drunk driver hits her vehicle. Taryn now has some sort of disability ( I couldn’t figure out what would work that she would still be able to play soccer)

    This is all that came to mind right now, but this would be a good idea I think!

    HOWEVER THIS IS THE STORY… and i dont think a girl named GRACE will have this story… i think grace thomas will be a new doll just not doll of the year…

    Nine-year-old GOTY is always thinking up big ideas, like starting a business with her friends over the summer! When Mom announces a trip to Paris instead, GOTY gets on board, but it quickly seems as if none of her plans are working out the way she’d hoped. She and her French cousin aren’t getting along, and GOTY’s friends back home have started a business without her. Can she find the courage to stay open to new ideas and turn the summer around?

We are thinking of getting the my AG that has kits hair style but brown. Shorter hair would be nice but my daughter and her friends do like to play with it. But as a collector she would be mine. Although I’m sometims caught french braiding all of her 15 dolls.

    I love the name autumn for goty. Also the softball player idea. That’s my daughter’s name and she’s an awesome first baseman. As far as that Tiffany girls comment on me being narrow minded, I’m sure AG would love to hire her for their marketing ideas. I guess it wouldn’t work. You have to hear others opinions. Any. I really don’t see anything wrong with the black dolls as far as the looks. My daughter though of getting Cecile but her hair looked like too much of a challenge for a girl of 6. I can only imagine how hard it is for the company to come up with new ideas every year not with just the girl of the year but all other dolls and accessories. We will have to wait and see over the next couple weeks if any pictures are leaked.. I would still love to see that 80s doll. Named autumn

    Brown hair with carmel high lights blue eyes Disability

    I have an idea.

    Name: Kiera (Key-era)

    Eyes: Dark Blue with grey and green flecks

    Skin: Medium-light, enough to be called Caucasian, but not really. (a little bit lighter than the Hawaiian one.) Around half German, part Middle Eastern, parts unknown. Currently resides in the Metropolitan area.

    Hair: Brown with golden streaks from the sun and fire-red dye.

    Hobby: I’m not simple-minded enough to put one hobby, so her hobbies are singing, running, and archery. She is also being taught Karate by her dad.

    Freckles: A couple.

    Outfit: She’s not an overkill fashonista. Probably a cat nebula shirt and practical grey shorts.

    Story: Young 12 year old Kiera has gone from naivety to social butterfly to kick-butt leader. But after the car accident and her father’s concussion, things start to change. Kiera becomes less outgoing and more reclusive and (for all of those who hate the american girl theme of pink) starts to really hate pink. What happened to Kiera? Can her parents and friends bring the old Kiera back?

  105. Can’t say
    November 14, 2014 at 12:36 pm –

    I think they should make a doll with diabetes. I don’t know what her meet outfit could be but one of her accessories could be like that little tube thing that diabetic people have.

    HAIR – CARAMEL

    EYES- BLUE

    FRECKLES

    SKIN COLOR – I DON’T CARE

    HOBBY – ARCHERY

    NAME – AUTUMN

    her story could be that autumn was doing archery and she couldn’t focus because her stomach was bothering her. So her parents take her to the doctor and they say her blood sugar is low and autumn has to get bloodwork done. The results show that she has diabetes and Autumn is scared she won’t be the same

    I love the GOTY dolls but none of them are relatable for me. Lots of the girls like sports such as dance, gymnastics, etc., or else they like things with nature and animals. Now I love nature, but I am not a huge nature person, and while I love animals they aren’t my passion. And I am no sports person.

    I want an American Girl who is creative. She likes to sing. She has a flair for acting and being on stage. She loves to write, whether it’s songs, or stories. She hates math and is very easily annoyed by her big brother, and her little brother is a nuisance.

    She will be struggling with common things- bullying, not getting along with family, etc. And the story could be about her getting a big part in a play, or about a big writing contest she wants to win, but she has some competition- a fellow classmate who is as equally gifted in Language Arts.

    American Girl claims that the dolls “reflect[s] the interests and experiences of real girls today.” First off, not very many girls really go through some of the things the GOTY go through. Second of all- I am one of these described “girls of today”, and I can assure you, NONE of the girls reflect my hobbies and interests, and the ONLY GOTY I can relate to is Chrissa with the bullying thing.

    Perhaps she could even have a disability such as Asperger’s or a learning disability or something like that. And not like with McKenna.

    I also think they need to make one of the girls a big bookworm- not very many girls these days truly appreciate books. It would be nice to see someone who DOES like them.

    American Girl needs to make a GOTY that is more creative (a writer, singer, actress, songwriter), and they ESPECIALLY need one with a disability. Girls of today with disabilities need to know they are not being forgotten. Girls without disabilities can use the movie and books to help them better understand girls with disabilities and it could be a very valuable learning tool for them.

    This GOTY does not sound like the type that is super sporty or who will have some huge thing happen to change everything- not like the typical girls, and I like it. But perhaps they could try to reach out towards the girls who have such interests that I mentioned above and perhaps even consider a girl who is a very good musician trying to get into some sort of orchestra, or a talented math student who is going to competition and is stressed. Just something like this would be nice, a change from the usual.

    Also- a black girl would be nice. Even someone with glasses would be nice.

    I could keep going on but I won’t. Just the opinions of an average American Girl.

    This is my idea for goty; After 12 year old Hana Parker goes through a dramatic stage after her mom dies from kidney cancer only a few days afted Hanas birthday. Now Hana and her father are forced to move to Washington for his new job as a medical worker, Hana finds out she has been diagnosed with ADHD. At her new school no one really seems to notice her or say a simple hello, until she meets emma. Emma is a awesome friend who always hangs out with Hana and they become best friends. But Hana has a bigger problem. Hanas dad suffers from a sickness (insert sickness here) And hanas grades are subsiding. Hana finds a love tennis and writing books. When hana finds a book writing essay for a prize of 1000 dollars Hana has hopr again. Continung tennis hana finally finishes her essay and wins! Her dad finally gets better and her grades go up again. After finding new friends she has hopes of being a author when she grows up.

    I think they should make a black doll that plays basketball. That is a great idea because every girl of the year had been white not black and they haven’t had a basket ball playing doll.

    Well I’m a kid who liked these dolls SOO much when I was younger. I (being white) probably wouldn’t have liked a black doll so much when I was younger because I wouldn’t have really connected to her so much. However. they are called AMERICAN girls, not WHITE girls, so I think american girl really needs to make a girl with diversity. There are so many unused ideas and they are starting to re-do things. I feel like american girl was at its prime in 2000-2010 ish. And now is sort of going Down hill. Does anyone see what I mean? Like now they have mini dolls at McDonald’s..that wasn’t something I was expecting from them…NOT SAYING ITS BAD. also, I think they should make a girl with a disability or a black doll. Not at the same time for the same doll. Becasue to me that feels like to much of a risk. I probably sound really un-educated. I’m sorry if I offended anyone

      Yeah but a lot of white kids would still want a black doll. I know when I was young and Addy came out, I wanted her. She was pretty, and I had read all of her books and thought she was very brave, and I thought it was cool that her mom worked at a dress shop, and she looked like one of my best friends (I dunno, now I think it would be weird to have a doll that looked like one of my friends, but back then I didn’t think it was weird at all). My mom ended up getting me the one that looked like me instead, basically a modern day Kirsten, but I would have been happy with Addy or any of those dolls at that point in my life. So I think a GOTY of colour would work just fine for AG. I do agree that the quality of the line has gone downhill recently, but I’m thinking since the early 2000s, not 2009-2010.

    They should make a BLACK DOLL

    • es
      October 21, 2014 at 6:42 am –

      Agreed. Of the current GOTY line, 10 of the 14 girls are white. 8 of those 10 are even blonde or light haired, so I guess AG doesn’t even like to have brunettes as part of their GOTY line. 3 of the 4 dolls of colour are half white. My group of friends growing up was a lot more evenly mixed than that, as I’m sure most girls’ groups of friends are currently. I felt fortunate when I was young that there was a doll that looked like me, but wondered how my friends felt about there not being one that looked like them. White blondes and redheads aren’t AG’s entire customer base, and I wish they would do more to represent all the other children that are in their customer base, instead of making more dolls that are essentially just younger Barbies.

  139. es
    October 20, 2014 at 1:13 pm –

    I’d love to see a GOTY who is into STEM, maybe something like robotics, or making video games, or she’s just really good at maths and wants to join the school maths team. But she’s worried about joining, because there are only boys on the team. And her dad, who is in the Army, just told the family that he would be deployed again soon. In the end she joins the maths(or robotics, or video games programming) team at school, because she knows it would make her dad proud.

    I would want her to be black, or middle eastern, or latina. Possibly even Muslim, because AG could address a lot of relevant issues with prejudice through a book if they did it properly. Her mom could be a stay at home mom, but also a first generation immigrant, which is another hot issue in the US right now. And even though she’s a STEM kid, she would be into a lot of girly stuff and be fashionable as well, because there’s a “super nerdy smart kid” trope on a lot of kids’ shows that is just totally untrue. She would also like basketball, and basically she would be a more well rounded kid with actual issues to deal with, unlike most recent GOTYs.

    i think the GOTY should have black hair with Permanent streaks of blond and brown hair with blue eyes and a skin tone kind of like caramel her carer should be a fire dancer and her cloths should be black fabric with rips that are rainbow colored and it would be a ripped up logish skirt and a tank top with a v neck and a triangle cut out of the back and in those triangles there are striped rainbow fabric to fill in the triangles her shoes should be a really high heel and her eccesories should be a back pack to put all her supplies in and a fire buton and safty goggles with maby like a water bottle and the fire wand could have remuveible fire

    I personally think that the doll should be black, Asian, or Hispanic because american girl has never really came out with these dolls. Having a disability is what some girls live with and should really be considered. I understand american girl has came out with The Berry Wheelchair, but if you ask me it looks like one of the ones you see at a hospital. American girl is a great company and is kid friendly too ,but what most over look is that not everybody can run or jump or do other things that most kids can do.

    October 14, 2014 at 6:28 pm –

    I think they should make a girl named autumn miller! I love that name! She should be light skin an blond hair with red highlights in her hair and her hair should be really long.her eyes should be grayish blue. I also think she should play basket ball.she should have a sister or a friend too. I think the sister or friend should be named jaelyn smith if it’s not her sister.she should have black hair that is really long.She should have green eyes and should be in softball.

    • Brynn
      October 14, 2014 at 6:32 pm –

    I think they should make an archer. You know, like a girl who shoots a bow and some arrows. She would have red wavy hair with peach skin and freckles. Everybody is saying they should make a basketball soccer or softball player and while that is understood, you can get “me dolls” and buy the outfits at the store. Also, I think we should use our girl of the year doll to make a tom boy. Her name would be Autumn because of her red hair and her freckles. She would wear something that looked like UGG boots or BEARPAWS. She could also wear a grey and purple striped sweatshirt with normal blue-jeans. Under her sweatshirt the would have a dark green T-shirt.

    HER TRAITS:

    EYES: BLUEISH GREENISH

    SIBLINGS: OLDER SISTER

    HAIR: USUALLY IN A PONYTAIL

    PETS: GOLDFISH AND A SNAKE

    BEST FRIEND: VIKKI WHO IS BLACK

    FEAR: BEES

    FAVORITE COLOR: PURPLE AND TURQUOISE

    LIKES: ARCHERY

    FAVORITE ANIMAL: OWL

    FAVORITE FOOD: CUCUMBERS

    FAVORITE SNACK: POPCORN

    FAVORITE DESSERT: CHOCOLATE CAKE

    I think it should be a soccer player and an animal trainer and also an artist.

    Name-Emma

    Eyes-blue

    Hair-light brown with blonde highlights

    About-A goalie who broke her hand and is afraid her team will never win again and reminds herself you don’t have to win all the time to be the best.Mean while she also helps animals in the shelter and trains them but she can’t because her broken hand but somehow she get’s through it.And then get’s back and does what she loves drawing and painting, training animals and being a goalie.

    HAIR-straight light brown blonde highlights.

    NAME-Keeley or Alayna

    EYES-light brown or hazel

    She should also live on a farm in a small town.

    I think we need a doll that is from the city with dark curly hair, not like an Afro, but nice big curls. She would also pretty blue eyes, with medium skin. She would have really nice clothing like, dresses, blouses, skirts, and jeans.

  177. Skye
    October 7, 2014 at 3:19 pm –

    I believe that AG should have a handicapped doll, and being handicapped myself I could at least relate to her somehow. I’m tired of AG making non-handicapped dolls. It makes me kind of upset cause the only thing they do to make a doll not be in perfect condition is break a bone. Seriously. I have never broken a bone in my life. All my problems I’ve had I was born with. I also would like them to make a doll with brown medium length curly hair. I also have a few ideas of an ideal GOTY.

    (Keep in mind I do not relate to any of this exept for the mild Cerabral Palsey and the filming passion.)

    Karsyn is a young 9 year old girl who has mild Cerabral Palsey. She has a strong passion for filming and hopes to be a producer someday. She lives in Atlanta and when she visits St Louis for the summer because of a surgery, she meets a young girl named Alexa who has mild Cerabral Palsey as well, and she is having her first surgery at the same hospital as Karsyn.

    They become BFFs and hang out everyday until their surgerys.

    As Karsyn gets out of her surgery, which is very quick, she sees Alexa going in to her room. She askes her parents if she can stay to see Alexa. Her parents agree and they stay. When Karsyn sees Alexa’s parents in a worried state, Karsyn herself gets worried. When she askes what happened, She gets an unpleasant answer. Something has gone wrong in Alexa’s arms and she’ll be ok but she’ll need to have an extra surgery to install some metal and get her arm in its origional

    This is my idea for a GOTY:

    Cassiday Arten is an aspiring actress and singer. When Cass gets the opportunity to audition for the main role at the city’s biggest theater that is a huge step closer to her dream, to star Broadway, she is over the moon excited! On her way to the late night audition, a car wreck shakes her world. Will she be able to overcome her new disability and let her talents shine?

    Hair: Brown with honey highlights

    Eyes: Dark Brown

    Skin: Tan

    Her fingernails would be painted… that could be her feature like Isabel’s hair extensions?

    After the car wreck, she could be blind, deaf, be paralyzed, or have cerebral palsy?

    I think this would make a great GOTY

    I’ve seen several comments on a black AG doll and I’m not sure it’s a good idea. When I visit the store all I see are white girls with white dolls or black girls with white dolls. The hair is an issue too. Who wants to finger style and have a spray bottle all the time. Also I see people want a doll that’s handicaped. Well go buy a wheelchair or hearing aid. My girls play softball but I’m not partitioning for the goty to be one. I just bought the softball gear. You have to sell what the majority wants. But I can only speak of what I see at the Georgia store. Btw I would love to see an 80s doll

      Not every black doll has to have super thick hair. If they can make a doll with curly hair like Samantha or Caroline, they can do it for a black doll. They can even make some black girls with straight hair. Some black girls do have straight hair, you know. They just choose not to.

      I understand girls aren’t buying black dolls, but American Girl doesn’t make them appealing either. They always give the best outfits to white dolls, like pink and glitter. If they did the same for their African American dolls, it would sell better, especially if the doll came with a book series and a movie. Madison from myscene Barbie was the best-selling black doll because she was gorgeous.

      My American Girl is not good promotion because there are many random dolls with many outfits, and neither one is promoted over the other. Girls will pick the doll that looks most like them or like their friends.

      I think people just want something original. Something that hasn’t been tried before. Some variety. GOTY is getting kind of lame and boring because they keep coming up with the same ideas over and over with a minor twist. They released a boring blonde character, and American Girl’s sales have plummeted for GOTY as a result. She danced just like GOTY 2005 Marisol. It just wasn’t interesting. It wasn’t interesting enough for little girls, either apparently, because sales dropped. Saige’s sales were higher, and boost American Girl up 5% last year. That can’t be said about Isabelle.

          I like unusual names like saige or kanani, but I’ve got an idea of my own, but they have more than one dark skinned doll. For example, Kaya, Kanani, Addy, and Josefina, Sonali, and Marisol . But I agree, they do have to many white AG dolls. However I like Mia, and Isabelle, Kailey is my favorite. I don’t think we need a doll with a disability because we have a wheelchair and the crutches, and I like all the AG dolls for who they are. But they do need some new Ideas for books, I love to write and am very creative so I could help!;)

      Chastity, what a narrow minded comment. Do you really not understand the value of AG having a GOTY that brown girls can relate to? I would go on to explain the importance of ethnically diverse GOTYs, but I’m fairly certain that my words would be wasted on you.

      As an employee of the Washington DC American Girl store, I know everyone around me was disgusted that Isabelle, a girl from DC, was not black. Don’t get us wrong, Isabelle is beautiful and a great character, but actually isn’t selling as well as perceived because many people did expect a black doll. I mean she is from a place thats 50.1% African American and we get a blonde haired girl? She really appealed to the younger girls who haven’t been into American Girl for very long because the older ones know she looks very similar to other GOTY.

      I have to agree, they do not make the African American dolls appealing. As a black buyer who has 18 dolls, I didn’t get my first black doll (number 10 for me, Cecile) until I started working at AG! I DONT LOOK LIKE the dolls they make. My baby cousin doesn’t look like that, my sister, my mother. Some black women have those wide noses and puffy cheeks, but not ALL. There are 6 different light skin face molds now and only two dark skin and neither of the dark skin molds look black. One looks Brazilian and the other, a sad attempt.

      Cecile was the best black doll they ever made, also number 44. Not because of their hazel eyes but because they don’t have that sad attempt at African features.

      Clearly I LOVE American Girl, or I wouldn’t be such a collector, but seeing an African American GOTY after 13 years of dolls and 14 dolls isn’t that much to ask. (2001, 2003, 2005, 2006-2014).

      They Girl of the Year is supposed to represent American Society today, and not only does the little blonde girl’s story need to be told.

      (PS. People can say, “Oh they haven’t had just white dolls they have had Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and Hawaiian.” To that I say, “American actually coated each of those characters with a Caucasian nationality. Jess being half Scottish, and Kanani, in fact being only 1/4 Hawaiian!)

        I am also hoping for a black GOTY. I would love to see some long silky black locks. It doesn’t always have to be corkscrew curls! Or a cute A-line would be good too! I’m sure American Girl has heard our cries, so if it’s not something really good and new to the GOTY world, they might hear a huge outcry from us next year!

      I agree. But I do think they should make one with hearing aids considering that I wear them. I also play softball so it would be nice to see athletic girls

      • KittyLisse
        November 9, 2014 at 6:14 pm –

        I also would love a character who plays softball. Wearing a hearing aid would make it better. Even twins as someone else mentioned. Perhaps combining these ideas, with one twin wearing a hearing aid and the other not, and the twins comparing themselves…I’m a twin so I like the idea. ?

    I think they should have a goty with high functioning autism, asthma, & a thyroid condition

    Her accessories would include a mon-sun pill container, Medicean bottles with pills (not real ones of coarse), a nebulizer, a pulseox, some toys(dolls, stuffed animals, a puzzle, etc), a phone, a MP3 player, a laptop, a tablet, a DVD player, a tv, a pet dog named puzzle he’d be a chocolate lab puppy, she’s also come with a CD player some fake CDs some fake DVDs, some books, a piggy bank, an art kit complete with all sorts of art supplies, & some stationary with her first initial on it

    And her clothes would include footless footies and some matching slippers, some dresses, shorts, Capri pants, underwear, bras, skirts, tank tops, t shirts,tennis shoes, high tops, mules, high heel sandles, flip flops, sandles, pajama tank top, pajama pants, a set of different colored ponytail holders

    Her furniture would consist of a daybed, a desk, a Rolley office chair, a doll house, a bookshelf, & a toy box

    Her big item would b the doll house

    Her name would b:miranda griffan

    Her age would be:16

    Her favorite color is: pink

    Her symbol is: a puzzle peice

    Her talent is: stopmotion photography & art

      I think all of y’all are so creative in thinking all of this up! Bc most of the past dolls are so boring! Isabelle was the worst they ever made!!! My own opinion, btw. Anyway, I like the diabetes or asthma idea. We really don’t need some blonde ballerina with pink extensions. That is so commonplace! I like your ideas, victoria, just not the purple extensions- that is so fake!!! Maybe a girl with super curly hair (red) that’s long, and maybe she

      has to wear a brace?? Just some random ideas!! Her name- madeline or olivia. Well that’s all I wanted to say, thank you!!

        I completely agree that Isabelle is boring. We already have had a GOTY dancer in 2005 that ALSO loved ballet. It wasn’t very interesting. Then Isabelle had a boring hairstyle and wore too pink. Too cliche.

        I doubt 2015 will be any different. It sounds unrealistic and mashed together.

      I agree. I love playing softball even with my disability. All my coaches have my back and I never stop smiling because even though people have mean opinions of me playing, it doesn’t bother me. My disability is hearing. I wear hearing aids. A lot of people don’t think I can play like other kids, but I have proven them wrong.

      I totally agree! I personally want a Persian American Girl Of The Year. They have never tried this idea before and I think it would be amazing! Her name could be Sanaz and she would be an archer. Sadly, she would get bullied by others because of her race and and gets pushed down. But she recovers from this breakdown and goes back to her passion. She should also have problems with her grades (I know my parents are REALLY strict on grades, Im also Persian) and her parents would get take away her supplies. She works hard on her grades and secretly practices archery. Eventually, she goes to a competition and gets first place.

      HER TRAITS:

      HAIR: An ombre (dark brown to a light brown) and medium long hair

      EYES: Green with brown specks

      SKIN: Pale but a slight tan

      ONE MOLE BY HER RIGHT EYE

      Thanks ?

        • Rudy
          November 27, 2014 at 7:32 am –

          I never thought of the doll having the Ombre hair style. I love it!!! I think it will add value down the road when the style isn’t as popular anymore. Plus, I’m styling the look right now ?

          It is not racist! American Girl just needs make a black GOTY. They make too much Caucasian dolls. They need to try making a black GOTY. And if nobody buys them if they are black, they are stupid and I will by them. And if American Girl makes a black doll and nobody buys her, those people would be more than likely a white girl.
