The American Girl of the Year (GOTY) 2010 Will Be Lanie
UPDATE:
Here is what the cover of the book looks like:
As the release date for the American Girl of the Year – GOTY 2010 gets closer and closer, we are starting to get more clues as to who she is and what her stories will be all about. I think we can confirm that the name of the American Girl GOTY 2010 will be Lanie based on the screen capture of Chapters.ca website that was just sent to me by Hannah’s mom:
Thanks to the fabulous Doll Diaries readers who help find all the best doll scoop!!
UPDATE – we have more info on the book storylines:
So, we still don’t have any pictures of Lanie, the American Girl of the Year (GOTY) for 2010, but we are getting more details based on the storylines from her books.
Lanie feels like she never gets to have any adventures, but her aunt helps her discover the wonders of nature in her own backyard.
When Lanie’s neighbor threatens to get rid of the garden, she must learn to spread the word about the benefits of natural gardening.
The books are available for pre-order through Amazon and have a release date of December 28, 2009.

firstie!!!!! this is exciting i cant wait to see what she looks like!!!
Ok, so the rumor was true.
Now….. for the confirmation of ethnicity……
How exciting! Can’t wait to see what Lanie looks like!
cool i cant wait till she comes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i luv the name Lanie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a cute name!
I can’t wait to see her!
This is so exciting!
Uh…great. Not my favorite name, that’s for sure. Oh well, maybe she is really cute and the name won’t matter.
Boo-yah!
That’s cool.
I love the name Lanie!!! I was going to name a JLY that, but a GOTY is definitely better!!
And now for the wait to know details… :sigh:
What an awful name!
I’m neutral on the name, personally. Not my favorite but better than Chrissa. Anyway, you can always change her name.
I knew it! That name has been trademarked for awhile. Love the name…probably will buy the girl. (:
How is Lanie pronounced? I’ve always thought it was “laye-nee”.
i love that name!
I know two Lanies, one says “Lay-nee” the other says “Lah-nee”. Both ways seem to be accepted depending on where one is from. Lahnee is Hawaiian….. and “Lani” is a Hawaiian name…… NO! I will not get my hopes up!
kool
My daughter loves the name–it is one of her friends name. She is looking forward to a fun year with an interesting doll
OMK AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! i can’t wait till she comes out
I love it. Lanie, an African American girl who loves the outdoors.
We’re still not completly sure of ethnicity, don’t get your hopes up. Remeber Mia? Just because Lawrence Yep is known for his Asian characters, the collecting comunity was all “an Asian GOTY!!!!!!!”. And, what did we get? A red head.
I’m kind of so-so on the name as well. It’s nice but I do wish it was something different. I’ll have to see what she looks like.
Mia was a good name. Very cute.
im so happy though it kind of stinks because i will probably not get her the day she comes out cause for christmas i am gettin Kirsten and Sanoli and maybe a pink laptop. but ill get her sooner than later! also for my birthday (which is in May) i am suppose to be going to New York to check out NYU because thats where i want to go to school after high school so i might end up gettin her then cause i got chrissa this past valentines when my mom and i flew to new york. i hope though that she does not have any friends because it is so hard to save up enough money to get it all cause this year i have already gotten two dolls and now i am going to get two more so that i will have all the retire dolls for this year but i still need alot of kirstens out fits and 2 of chrissa outfits plus her lama and the sewing table.
NYU? Neat. How far off is college for you? 2.5 years for me and I’m counting off the days until I graduate. I cannot stand high school. This week has been bad because of daylight savings time. I’m getting tired so much earlier so I can’t stay awake to do homework.
i have 1.5 years till college. i love high school i stay late almost every day and love it. even though i have so much homework because i am in alot of dual classes which are college class that i take in high school so i get credit for both. the daylight savings time is killing me! i have been waking up late almost every day this week. I love New York University but it stinks that since i live out of state i will have to pay out of state fee. hopefully i will get alot of scholarships if not i will got to SMU which is a good law school
Lanie name sounds so pretty! I hope it pronounces like Lay-nee.
And I hope AG would make a brand-new AA mold with new type of AA hair
but make the skin color same as Addy. I really like AG’s AA skin color and
light skined color(including Rebecca’s).
And hopefully she might be going to my favorite character list!
And here’s the one:
1.Rebecca
2.Felicity&Elizabeth
3.Julie
4.Nicki
5.Mia
6.2010 GOTY? or Kaya?
I can’t wait until the picture of the book,preview,and then a pictures of a item comes out. I also hope she has a bicycle,or at least comfy skates. I really hope
that AG dosen’t feature “stand out,not normal” girls like Mia,
PLUS I really wish that AG dosen’t make so many dresses for GOTY 2010.
Well I guess they might not ’cause GOTY is going to be adventurous…
I think GOTY wouldn’t be all serious nature crazy-that is not that normal.
But this is okay-to win a contest about making a broucher saying stuff about a plant or an animal. I hope she will be my favorite GOTY-and she’s almost there-
she likes nature,and she probably daydreams,writes,that’s really good for me!
I love how no one read my warning about getting their hopes up about he being AA.
when i go to the american girl place in new york this april im getting laine
YAY i’ve been wanting to know since i got chrissa cuz now im collecting GOTY’s and i want her soooo badly i hope she looks like my friend lanie (well her name is Laney but lanie and laney is the same i guess)
i getting lanie 2!!!!!!!!!!!
hmmm… loks like we have mixed opinions on the name. personally, i think its pretty cute.
i stared to collect the gotys 2 but i only have chrissa nicki and mia and then lanie
OOOOH LANIE!!!!!
Aww such a pretty name!!!! She must be a nature girl. Oh, I can’t WAIT to see her!
WOW this is so exiting i hope we get a picture soon
I love her name!!!!
I cant wait 2 c wat she looks like!!!!!!!
Katherine, I wish I could like high school as much as you.
Yeah, It will probably not be an AA doll. Lawrence Yep wrote about asian characters and we got your everyday Mia. I’m kinda hoping that she has carmel hair and green eyes. Not many dolls have green eyes.
Thank you Julie.
I actually do hope she’s AA. There have been at least 2 characters of every race, but not AA. All we have is Addy. We want another AA doll!!!
That, and my cousin hinted at “a girl of color”. Meaning non white. Not AA, non white. I want this clear.
We never know, she may be Hawaiian or something…
^^^ I would love that.
Except you know AG would mess it up with lots of stereotype Hawai’ian stuff like grass skirts, ukeleles, surfing, and coconuts.
And this is souley based on their so far Hawaiian themed stuff.
I love the idea of her being all outdoors and stuff but I’m not the biggest fan of the name Lanie.
Do you think she’ll have a best friend doll?
That is exciting, I’m not buying into her being Hawaiian, but the possibility is cool. I never ever thought “of color” as being Hawaiian, but aren’t many Hawaiians of Somoan ancestry? and the Somoans can be dark, right? I don’t know many Hawaiians and the ones I do are really fair, with dark hair and almond shaped eyes, the Jess mold would pass for the Hawaiian people I know of. It will be exciting no matter what color she is and the Sonali mold would be neat if she is Hawaiian.
I really wish GOTY wouldn’t have a type of hair that Addy has,although it is nice. I hope it is easy to brush with normal AG comb.
Plus somehow they might make her SONALI mold! I really like Sonali mold,so…
Real Hawaiians don’t look Asian. If they made a true native islander, she’d be a Sonali mold, or possibly Kaya. She’d have darker skin.
Anything non-white is considered “of color”. So anyone from anywhere but Europe, including Pacific Islands.
Sorry, had to do something else.
So anyone from anywhere but Europe, including Pacific Islands, Africa, Asia, and the America’s.
OMGOODNESS OMGOODNESS OMGOODNESS!!!!
I GOT A PART IN THE CHRISTMAS PLAY!!!! A BIG, GREAT PART!!!!! OOOOOOHOOHHH IM SO EXITED
I hope she almost isn’t “of color”.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not against them or anything…
but they just made A TON of new AA JLY’s.
I want them to make a new mold. Maybe she could be asian!
Or even… just something new that is brought to American Girl.
Personally I think the next historical doll will Be AA. They are retireing Kirsten so they have to make a new Historical Doll anyways.
What do you girls think?
She’d better be AA. There hasn’t been an AA GOTY yet, and I want one. Besides, “of color” does not mean she won’t be Asian (of which there are 2 molds, btw), it means she likley won’t be white.
Yes, but they also made a ton of new white AGTs. Actually, here’s a counting of new dolls and molds from the last release:
Total: 19
Addy: 2
Original: 15
Jess: 1
Sonali: 2
Light: 12
Medium: 6
Dark: 2
And they are not nesseraly AA. That’s the beauty of AGTs, you make up their story.
I really, really hope for a creole girl from Louisiana. I would love that in a historical.
Also, they are ARCHIVING her.
Oh, sorry, the total of new dolls is 20.
Lena, I think getting people to use “archive” instead of “retire” is a lost cause. On my eBay listings for Samantha and Nellie, I’ve used retired. People are more likely to search for that word.
I’ve been hearing that they want to bring Sam back from my PS. So there is a difference.
Yeah, I know there is a difference too. But almost no one recognizes it.
Click on my name! I just added a ton of new stuff with more coming.
You know 7’s not retired, just the putfit she comes in, right?
Well, I PERSONALLY hope that they make another doll with cool GRAY eyes. So far we only have TWO of them.
Actually, we did have 3 AGTs, but since AG’s AG, they retired them.
And that would be so cool. Well…. i’m off to photoshop.
As I’ve said before; I’d love a doll with light gray eyes. But I rather her to be AA or Hawaiian. More AA than anything.
Cool guys! But I SAID I GOT A PART IN THE CHRISTMAS PLAY!!!!
AGT 7 has a new hairstyle, so the old one is retired in AG Playthings’ book.
Let me guess … you’re going to use photoshop to create your speculative version of Lanie!
That’s great, Madeline!
Speaking of 7, I need to re photograph her. I took those pics in the late afternoon so there’s too much of a shadow.
No, I’m using photoshop to make my dream dollies, not just Lanie.
Yeah…. I forgot they changed the bangs, so sorry for that.
My gosh … the prices on Kirsten are skyrocketing. Her trunk is going for about $200 over retail. Next time a doll is archived, I’m going to join the reselling madness. I would’ve this time if I had a debit card.
Still bummed … never got Kirsten’s red boots or her school outfit. I’m a tightwad so eBay’s prices are way too high for me. I sell the expensive retired stuff (click on name) and leave the buying to people like Anne.
Busy, busy day tomorrow. Night!
Good Morning!
For some reason, I’m starting to think she won’t be African American. I’m sorry, I would love her to be, but I’m doubting it a little. I’m starting to think she will look like Lindsay, but of course they can’t make two GOTY that look like each other. But if she DOES turn out to be African American, then I want her hair all done up all pretty with braids and beads and stuff, like lots of little African American girls do today. I’m not sure if AG can do that, but there are already so many African American dolls with heir hair all down, when it gets really messy that way. OMGoodness, now that I’m typing this, I now REALLY want her to be African American.
o.O
Sorry I was just experimenting!
no offense, but why does everyone want her to be AA? Does it really matter? I think that we should just drop the skin tone talk and think about other things.
Yes, it matters. We’ve had 9 GOTYs so far (counting friends), and while we’ve had a Latina, an Asian, a Jewish girl, and an Indian, we haven’t had an AA girl yet.
I doubt her hair will be in braids. Wigs can’t be put into braids without the wig cap showing, much less into really tiny braids. That, and little girls will want to be able to play with her hair.
Today’s my mom’s birthday:)
That, and I’m only giving my opinion among solid fact. There hasn’t ben an AA girl among the 9 GOTYs so far, in fact, there is only one AA character so far, Addy. It would be nice to see AA girls represented.
mabey its because im not american but ive never heard of the name lanie and i have no idea how to say it
is it LAY-nee or LAN-ee or LARN-ee or something else?
how should i be saying this
either ways it sounds cute
I don’t care what race the new doll is, I will fall in love with her no matter what color she is.
All of my AA friends and I mean ALL of them have white dolls. I thought they would want an AA doll, but they like the white ones better, so AA kids are not just going to get the GOTY based only on the fact that she is AA, that’s kind of like saying white girls have to get white dolls and AA girls have to get AA dolls.
They also do not care much for the Addy mold, their words not mine.
I personally would love an AA GOTY but I don’t have my heart set on her being AA or I won’t get her, it’s the stories that draw me to the dolls, I just hope she has a good story.
I do agree that AG is behind on the times with AA dolls, but it is a business and they make what sells and it has been pointed out that in the past AA dolls have not been big sellers, but that is changing and people want and are asking for more diversity. Sonali proved that this year.
I don’t have my heart set either, in fact, if she’s Asian or Hispanic, I’d be happy.
I have sourse (my ps) that said Sonali has sold very well, and she too thinks its time they had an AA GOTY (she’s hispanic, BTW).
You mean it wasn’t ridculous from the start? (mocking myself here)
Lena was just advocating for AA dolls, that’s up to her and if someone wants to have an AA, Asian, whatever color friend because they have a lot of white friends, it’s not like it would hurt anything. I have tons of white friends and purposefully try to befriend people of other races to make them feel accepted and welcome. Just my opinion.
I think Lena just wants equality. This has nothing to do with anyone’s friend’s race, it just has to do with wanting an AA doll.It’s a normal request- the US is not all white people. And yes, l am white, and most of my friends are not white.
I can’t wait to see what Lanie looks like! I will probably save up for her!
If she’s more interesting than Chrissa, I’ll be as happy as clown.
Lanie sounds like a pretty name, and I like the “outdoorsy” theme, but I’m not sure if she’ll be more interesting than Chrissa. Chrissa was special in this strange way that I had this obsession over her. Pus, she looked like me. Kind of. Not really. In spring when my hair was short and I didn’t get my annual freckle shower, I kind of looked like her. Like, I have now medium length black hair and green eyes and am like super pale. I also have millions of tiny freckeles (?) that are beginning to clump so it looks like a weird tan that has tiny bits of vampric (love that word!!) skin shining through. Anyway it’d be so awesome if she was Hawaiian, but I agree with Lena. Don’t get your hopes up.
Whoa, that took a long time to write.
a real long time.
Oh, yeah, guess what ??? I am now the proud owner of…… Piper Nicole!!!
although sometimes I type her name wrong and write “Pepper” for some reason . Now I own salle (JLY #23) Nellie, Piper (JLY#37 with long straight red hair, freckles, aand green eyes.
I’m not saying that Chrissa’s personality or books were boring; just her appearance. Hair parted down the middle, shoulder lengh, etc.
Her hair parting was the best part for me. Side part are annoying, they always fly into dolls faces.
Still, her hair style was just very plain.
Her part I liked. I didn’t say hair style, because you really can’t do much with it. believe me, I’ve tried. All you can do is let it down, or pigtails. You can’t even do a propper pony tail with out some hairs falling out.
I don’t LOVE her hair either, Lena. You can put a few small braids in it, through.
Hopefully Lanie will have nice, long hair.
WOW cant wait to see what she looks like this is soo cool
Amen^^^
I don’t like doing small braids on Chrissa because her wig is very thin, so even with tiny little braids, I still see wig cap.
Yeah, I hope AG does better on the doll’s hair this time because my friend was really disappointed that Chrissa’s hair was so short.
I was disapointed not in lenght, but in skinpiness. I have a Kit from 2003, and her wigs so full that you have to look to find the wig cap. When I put her hair in the barrett she came with, no cap shows. Chrissa’s wig is skimpy, and when I put Kit’s barrett on her, I could see her wig cap. Same goes for my Helena (Beckie). She wasn’t even out of her hair net yet, and I could already see how little hair she had.
megan my teachers name is almost laine .ttrinity .I love the name laine and I can,t wait till the Laine doll comes out!
I loves Kit’s hair, too. It’s so full and doesn’t get damaged easily. There isn’t a whole lot to do with it, but that’s what the others doll are for!
My Kit’s hair is damaged, because I used a plastic brush when I was little (i didn’t know you had to use a wire brush) and damaged it, but her hair is reliving with lots and lots of braid spray.
Hey! How is every1?
Im good, AGlover, but I ave to leave soon. My taekwondo class is giving a demonstration in kendo.
One of my eBay doll outfits sold and I just ate a cookie, so I’m fat ‘n happy.
I hope Lanie’s hair is in lots of small braids. It’s really fun to style braided hair and it will probably be thick enough to put in lots of styles.
Like Lena said before, small braids show the wig cap easily. Besides, really intricate styles are more expensive and less profitable than plain Jane Chrissa styles.
Plus…. it’d kinda be a stereotypeing of AAs that I’m sure would get AG a lot of backlash.
I have a TaeKwonDo tournament in Birmingham this weekend… I’m super nervous. Any tips Lena?
i didn’t think I was stereotyping, sorry. Well, if not that, then I at least hope she has really curly hair.
^^^ Yes. I will buy her day 1 if her hair is curly.
Hmmm….. keep focused Holly. if you see a back spin kick, don’t let it hit you. Trust me, the rining in your ears after is annoying. Just use what you’ve learned and you’ll be fine
Same here!!!
Are they coming out with Ana?
I strongly doubt it, Keanna.
im so excited! i think its time for ag to come out with a doll who, for once, isn’t Caucasian. i hope she is african american. and you know how chrissa came out with 2 other dolls? who’s to say that Lanie won’t? my bet is that they’ll come out with a Caucasian friend…i am NOT racist, just trying to point something out here.
I think Rebecca should have a best friend doll or something, after a few years she might not even show up, or just get a page, in catalogues, like Addy or Josefina.
I think they all should get friends, I just don’t think it should be Ana.
AGT 7 sold! That was fast.
lena, what you said earlier about the wig showing i saw the same problem. it makes me alittle mad being able to see the wig.
does anybody know anymore information about Lanie pleeeze tell me if u do!!!!!!!!!!!
is anybody here homeschooled
Sarah, I’m homeschooled.
And if anyone had anymore info on Lanie, I’m sure it would be already posted.
ok thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cool!! just asking to make sure nobody has any info.
Yay! I don’t have school today:D But parent teacher conferences are this week:(
Lanie is definitely not my favorite name. Neither was Chrissa, but I got her, since she was so cute, so lets just cross our fingers for her to be uber-cute.
Thanks Lena.
hey guys i need your help!!!!!! out of these 4 chrissa,becca,sonli, and gwen pick 2 hurry cuz the sale 4 the holiday special ends sun.!!!! thanks guys!!!!!
Whichever doll you like best!
I like Sonali’s appearance the best. Chrissa and Gwen are a little boring.
Samantha sold!
Get Rebecca! I’m ordering her on Saturday
I’d pick Chrissa and Sonali, so if you don’t really like them, there’s always Beckie and 12 (who look like Gwen) and you have some change becuase Chrissa and Sonali will be skyrocketing on ebay once they sell out.
No kidding, I tempted to stock up on Sonali dolls.
thanks 4 helping i think ill get chrissa and sonli since i can get beckie next year and ill look 4 gwen on ebay since shes not a good seller than the others!!!!
cuz i was going to get chrissa since i like gotys and sonli was pretty
Sarah, it’s SonAli.
And like I said, she look the same as 12, you can always get her,
OK!!!!!!!!! I DIDNT MEAN TO SPELL IT THAT WAY…..! I KNOW HOW TO SPELL HER NAME IT WAS JUST A TYPO!!!!
i dont really like 12’s outfit( if your talking about the jlys) as much as gwen’s outfit and gwen looks cuter and they look different i think……..
They’re the same doll. I had both to compare before they were given to my cousin for her birthday. You can buy the outfit seperate from customer service.
You were constantly misspelling her name the same way, I thought I’d correct you. No need to yell at me.
thank you its just a typo ok im not the best typer in the world
well if u say 12 is like gwen then i guess ill take your word 4 it…
char- my computer says 12:00 but doll diares would say 1:00 did u change it 4 time change or mine might be wrong thanks
It’s accurate on my computer’s time.
It does depend on where you live, though. If you live in Chicago, you’re one hour behind due to time zones.
ok thanks!!! very much!!!!
You’re welcome!
The clock on this website used to be adjusted to central time, but now it’s on eastern because of daylight savings time.
Now its real time. Summer was daylight saving time.
Real time for you.
Huh?
I mean this is how time should be. Noon’s when the sun’s at its highest point. Daylight saving is durring the summer.
I thought you meant “real time” as in the clock is now set for your time zone.
I see how it could be taken that way.
wonder when more info will come about lanie i cant wait
when does the puzzle pieces start? 4 lanie on ag site…
im sooooo bored
lollol im sendind message after messagelolololol
does anybody get the ag mags they are sooooo cool!!!!

The Lanie puzzle should start in early December.
I want to see Lanie so badly!!!

I’m so excited!
22. Jess (American Girl Today) (Paperback)
Author: Mary Casanova
Illustrator: ROBERT PAPP
Publisher: American Girl Publications
HE iLLUSTRATED JESS’ BOOKS!!!
Well, the illustrator’s name has been up on Amazon for some time now, since the books first apeared on there. But thank you, you just saved me some typing
Then why didn’t you type it?
Anyway, I researched him and found some stuff out but I really don’t want to waste my breath. For all I know, You already found it out, and I would “save you some typing” .
Whatever.
Because I got curious today and looked up the books on Amazon and learned that he also did Jess. I was about to add it when I saw that you already did. I was actaully trying to be nice to you.
do u know the excact (spelling?) date? on the puzzle pieces
julie- thats sooooooo coool i cant wait!!!!!!!!! only 43 i many days till christmas?lol
some people already put their lights up it’s not even thanksgiving lol put i guess they were getting ready!!! it takes a lot of work to put lights up i think
lol my dog’s b-day is dec 25 his name is cj(charles jr.) and he’s a pom!!!!!
Sarah, no I don’t know the exact (correct spelling of exact) date, AG doesn’t set it out on a particular date from what I remeber. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
And its not that hard to put lights up, although if you already have snow, I see how it can be slippery on the roof. Here in Florida, its pretty hot work putting lights up.
i cant wait!!! hopefully she has more stuff then chrissa did
i cant wait!!! hopefully she has more stuff then chrissa did

i want lanie soooo bad we have the same name
i meant to say i live far away from sarah not u sarah HA
shes visiting me 4 a wk awesome
It gets to 95 to 110 degrees in Texas.
In the summer.
Ok, so I’m responding after reading earlier posts so this one may not go with the recent ones.
Well, I’m not exactly sure what “stereo typing” is, but I’m guessing it’s not good.
I don’t see how it’s bad or anything ride to put the girl’s hair in a pretty style. And, NO, it would not show the wig cap necessarily. Here’s how I know: As pretty and silky as Josefina’s hair looks online and in the catalouge, it gets messy. It eventually turns into really textured, greasy hair. Ok, maybe not ALL Josefinas, but the ones my friends and I own, it happens. So one day I just got out poor Josie, washed her hair with wig shampoo, and brushed, brushed, brushed. Finally I got it in a well condition, but I put her hair in dreadlock braids. It turned out really nice, and I keep her hair this way, unless very occasionally I take it out to brush and clean her hair. But, it’s very pretty and nice with beads at the end of each braid, and the wig does not show. I’m not angry and stuff if the hair doesn’t turn out the way I want to, but guys, It’s not impossible.
And by the way, no we did nothing to Josie’s hair that we didn’t do to the doll’s hair that remains silky.
it gets about 95–102 maybe? here in Tennessee( thats a long name)lol
Stereotyping is refering to a culture/race in one way, as in “all AA’s have cornrows”
I’ve seen pictures of dolls in tiny braids, they all show the wig cap. Actually, my Kirsten’s wig cap would show if not for the short hairs on the back of her head.
In FL the summers are 95 – 105, and winters are around 50. There’s usually one or two days that get down to 32, even then it warms up to 45 later in the day.
Maybe she’s confused about what the wig cap is???
They would find a way to make the wig cap not show, Kirsten had braids, did the back of her head show a wig cap???
Kirsten’s doesn’t show the cap because she has little clipped hairs there for that very purpose, but my Kit, you can clearly see the wig cap when she’s in pigtails.
I think the clipped hairs are the best solution we’re gonna get for now.
When will be get to see Lanie? And btw guys, Rebecca came today! But my dad’s asking if I wanna open her early or wait until Christmas to open her. I don’t think I can wait that long:( And if I opened her early then on Christmas the only AG thing I’ll probably get is one of Rebecca’s outfits or something. It’s funner to open a doll:) So can you guys help me? I’m really impatient:(
What’s wrong with the time on mine? It said 7:23 but it’s 4:28. Or is it because I’m in a different time zone(I live in San Francisco)?
Keanna,
It’s the difference between eastern and pacific time.
Keanna,
Personally I would not be able to wait, I would open her NOW!!! I’m excited for you. BTW, who knows when we’ll see Lanie, it could be anytime now or not till the last weeks of Dec. If you read up a few days it has been pretty thoroughly discussed. Hope this helps.
Translation: Before I get to see Lanie, I will have to make it through another six weeks of school! And best of all, the Chemistry and Algebra 2 exams will be on the same day for me!
Lily,
It’ll be okay, just study well and you will do great and don’t stress.
Thank you for the encouragement, Lani. Have you taken Algebra 2 yet? I cannot stand it. Right now, the material we’re learning is fairly easy but the tests are so long and it’s really difficult to be accurate when you’re on a time crunch.
Nellie sold! I love buy it now listings. People actually go after them quickly and you can get a much higher price than at auction.
By the sound of it, high school seem awful.
Keanna, I live in the Bay Area too!
I’m taking trig, a with algebra 2 mixed in. I’m halfway done, and now its starting to get difficult.
Lily,
Yes, I had algebra 2 when I did 9th grade work, the best thing I can say is don’t let yourself fall behind, everything seems to build on what was previously learned and if you don’t understand something ask for help from your teacher right away.
Math has never been my best subject, I mostly get all A’s but if I get a B it is usually in math, my problem is if I don’t keep up with it on break it seems like I can’t remember anything and I feel like I have to start all over. In my school it doesn’t matter what grade you are in, you have to do the work of whichever grade level you test into, I’d love to take easier math but I’m not allowed to.
Math is kind of the same way in my school district. In 8th grade, kids are sorted into normal math and Algebra 1. So even though I’m in Algebra 2 now, a lot of kids in my grade are taking geometry. Only 1.5 more years until BC Calculus. Yay!
hey guys!!!! 4 thankgiving im going to chicago yayayayaay!!!!! to the ag place im buying chrissa there!!!!
cant wait
is anybody on?!
Keanna- i think u should open her now im excited 4 u!!!!!! i couldnt wait either and it would be more fun to open it on 25 but i would open her now!!!!!!!
wut is u guys fav doll? mine is nicki!
pleeze reply
My favorite doll is a tie between Kit and Beckie. Beckie because she looks most like me, and Kit because she was my first and has a special place in my heart.
By looks only, Beckie wins.
Lena- cool!!!!! since beckie pretty then u must be to!!!! i agree with u about kit cuz my jly was my first and she is a special place in my heart 2 but overall it’s nicki like u said!!!!!
Lena- everybody must be busy with school but i dont think thay are all public and private school etc. cuz they send back some time well back to my paper wut are u doing?
ps thanks 4 repling (correct if this is wrong i think it is im bad at spelling today lol) 4 the fav doll!!!!
u dont live to far from me since u live in FL where in FL i live in Mount Juliet TN!!!!!
It’s cool that you work and live near Disney, we’re going on a Disney Cruise in January and will be going to Disney World in Januarybefore and after. I’m really excited.
Lena, do you happen to know if the World of Disney store has any of the Princess or Minnie dresses for the 18″ dolls?
I know they still have Minnie, Jasmine, Belle, and Tink. I know the toy store in Downtown has the same dresses, too.
Thanks Lena.
I don’t like Disney.
^^^Try working for them. Oh what fun.
Yeeeah, we were kind of all at school it being a Thursday during the school year.
thats cool lena!!!! elizabeth is the closet to me the mini one
cuz the mini elizabeth one as lighter blonde hair for some reason?!
Thanks for all your help guys! I’m going to open her right now! And that’s so cool Ava that you live in the Bay Area too!
Sarah- I live in the state underneath Tennessee. Depending on exactly where in TN, it’d take me about 2 hours to get there.
Yay! Rebecca is amazing! It took me awhile to get her hair to look at least a little bit like it does online, but it was all worth it:) And yay again! My school has casual free dress tomorrow(i’m tired of wearing my uniform):D!
The nice thing about uniforms is that you never have take a lot of time deciding what you will wear in the am.
But then you have to make sure your hair looks awesome to make up for it. I hate my hair. Namount of three different Garnier Fructis styling serums/sprays/conditioners can keep little hairs from sticking up since it’s so humid where I live. It’s annoying.
*no amount*
My favorite doll is Rebecca,Mia,Julie,and probably Lanie-even if she dosen’t have a sonali mold! I think it will be so cool to have a beads as an accessory that you can take it out,not the ones that sticks on forever. And if they make a textured hair,they should make it softer than ever and easy to brush without sparkly hair pick!
Assuming she is AA, she likely will have textured hair that you have to brush with a pick (or, your fingers work fine), because AA’s in real life do have the textured hair that I just love playing with (my real life friend’s. Yes, I paly with her hair)
thanks 4 replying agandfan!!!!!
holly-cool!!!!! so it would take 2 hrs to get to tn or 2 hrs to get to mount juliet tn!!!
If it help any Sarah, Lake Buena Vista is not either. Actually, the largest city near here (Orlando) is not on most maps either.
Lena – that helps thanks!!!! i feel better lol

Sorry, I got Rebecca Just for Fun today, and am trying out the recipie for Kugel.
I have:
Kit (my first)
Helena (FKA Rebecca, my favoite)
Kirsten
Samantha
Chrissa
Sonali
And a bunch of other non-AG girls that I can list if you want.
You spelled Elizabeth’s name right, but it’s “O’Malley” and “Fleming”. I do see how those can be typos though, so its OK.
Actually, there are a few girls who have canon middle names:
Maria Josefina Montoya (Josefina’s really her middle name, but it was common for all catholic girls to me named Maria Something, and called by the middle name, so her sisters would be Maria Clara, Maria Ana, and Maria Francisca)
Margaret Mildred Kittredge was Kit’s real name, after her mother and Aunt Millie.
Chrissa Marie Maxwell & Jess Akiko McConnell were the full names of the GOTYs.
And Molly has that “J” on her report card.
thanks 4 correcting me lena i try not to look while typing lol…im not that good lol.
u can list them if u want if u dont want to type all that.
i forgot about that the goty have middle names and the others.
and could u help me or anybody help me pick a name 4 my jly shes the nicki look alike 1 and the look alike gwen one thanks 4 helping…
i like the rebecca fun book to i dont have it but i look at it at the book store and it looks fun!!!
sorry that i got angry at u about the sonali thing!!!!:( i feel bad cuz i just 4get it sorry….
thats sooooo cool i dont know why but u have chrissa and sonali like im going to get….
Haha, I don’t really type, but I can spell with out looking and be just as fast as if i was typing, if that makes sense.
But you were right, most of the AG characters don’t have middle names. Those are only 5 out of 19.
I have:
Lulu Kibwana (Karito Kid)
Wan Ling (KK)
Pita Corta (KK)
Laylie Colbet (Life of Faith)
Elsie Dinsmore (LoF)
Alex Winchester (Madame Alexander)
I aso have 3 Disney Engel Puppen dolls that I got from friends, but they are mostly display dolls and I didn’t name them.
Can you maybe list some names you like? I can help pick out of those.
Sarah- Probably around 2 1/2…. It took 3 for us to get to Gatlingburg, if that helps any.
holly- yes thank u cuz i was confused since there were 3 states under tn
lena- haha it does lol
taylor ,kathleen, maddie,noel,savannah and i might have more thanks 4 helping and i hope that’s not a lot lol
these are the names
You want 12(Not!Gwen) and 39 (Not!Nicki) right?
I like Maddie for 12, and Noel for 39.
I like Maddie for not Gwen too, but I like Kathleen for the not Nicki because she looks like she could be of Irish descent and all the Taylor’s and Noel’s I know are boys and it causes so much confusion.
Savannah is nice too.
Sarah,
Hope you don’t care that I answered about the names.
If you all have not already played it, there is a quiz on the AG site about school smarts and it is much more difficult than I expected it to be, I had to take it 5 times before I won without missing any questions, it is kind of like “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader”. It is fun, check it out if you get the chance.
That’s been on their site for years…. and it’s so gosh darn addictive! I love it so much, mostly because I get to learn thing I didn’t know.
I know a few girl Noels.
Lena- yes. for 12 and 39 thanks 4 helping!!!!!!
Lani- it’s ok if u answer i was hoping 4 everybody 2 anwer thanks everybody 4 helping!!!!!
i could make all the names u guys picked for first, middle and last names 4 number 12 and 39 or others thanks 4 helping!!!!!!
i soooooooooo want lanie
i want lanie no matter what she looks like b/c i dont have ant gotys
Lanie is really cool!
I wonder if she has any Best Friend dolls.
Me too! I really do hope that she has a friend doll!
What dolls are you hoping to get for Christmas? I’m hoping I’ll get Kaya.
Lena, I got silver for form, and bronze for sparring!!! And my knee even popped out of place and I still did that good!!!!!
Congrats, Holly! I know how painful sparring can be. I’ve had my knee dislocated cause my friend kicked me too hard. But yay, you got bronze!
For Christmas I want Molly’s clothes, and money for the GOTY clothes… and possibly doll. But most of that will have to be my gift to myself.
It’s because of cartlidge tear. I’m getting surgery the 23rd of this month.
For Hanukkah it would be nice to get really anything, it’s the thought that counts.
I really doubt I’ll be getting a doll this year for Hannukah. I haven’t received one since I was eight.
oh lanie’s such a cute name!!
for christmas i want to be in my school’s musical,that’s all i want and maybe an AG book but i know i won’t be getting any dolls because they’re just too much money, but yeah i want one of Lanie’s books when she comes out,too.
I have HORRIBLE stage fright,so i don’t know if i’ll get in,but i really hope to. Last year when we had to try out i was really nervous and started mumbling and cyring and then they gave a part to a really rich girl because her parents made them,ughhh.
oops i meant crying.
Priscilla, when I tied out for cheerleading, I got stage fright too. I was meant to do a cheer, which I practiced seconds before I went in to try out, and when the time came I just froze up. Needless to say, I didn’t make it.
wooww!!! i totally can’t wait!?!? i know to always look here once in a while for check ups on Lanie!!
When I think of the name Lanie, I think classic mold, curly auburn hair, and blue eyes!
I wonder what message AG has to say in 2010. This year’s message is to stand up to bullies.
The AG website says nothing about Lanie. They won’t until 2010. I don’t want to wait! I have to though.
They do say stuff about her. Its under the events page on the store page (basically the stuff Char has under the other GOTY 2010 page). She’s going to love nature and be adventerous.
I’m the soon-to-be proud new owner of two Kailey dolls. Two weeks ago, I had three Samantha dolls and three Nellie dolls. By the end of the week, I will have owned 22 dolls. Of course, five are already gone, one is leaving tomorrow, and another will be leaving in a couple of weeks.
Hey Lena are you on?
I am now…but you’re not anymore, huh?
No I’m here, I’m playing Wii.
Drama on playthings today, someone who was supposedly an employee posted info on Lanie and then erased it, according to her she is not AA, make sure you check it out.
Gosh, I haven’t been on there in so long…
But I did just now read about what was in that post. Thanks for telling me.
So is she saying she is not AA just dark skinned based on a picture or a description I wonder? I wonder if she actually could be Hawaiian?
that wud b awesome if she was hawaiian tho rite????????
also wat is ‘ag playthings’
any1 on????? well wen some1 gets on cud u explain wat ‘ag playthings’ is 2 me please
Ag Playthings is a message board for AG doll luvers. Lena has said this in the past, Wouln’t reccomend for kids under 13.
I like it, but do admit that some of the woman on it are downright nasty with each other, it’s not like it is inappropriate for 13 year olds, they just don’t like teenagers all that well and just a couple, 2 I can think of are always fighting and mad about what people post and usually what was posted was no big deal, they just are hot heads. You learn a lot about AG dolls there and you learn how to change wigs and all kinds of other AG things. There are tons of pictures of dolls.
o thanks for explaining that 2 me sallie and lani
Don’t make it sound so magical. Its not.
ima check that out
ok i just checked it out then i got confused
What are you saying to no make sound so magical?
I tried joining agplaythings a few months back. They rejected me because they suspected I lied about my age. I did. So what?
Seriously, I don’t suggest going there. Especially since most of you are 13 and under. It is an adult board, they talk about adult things.
and if u talk lyke this they kick u out
I had a feeling that they weren’t the most welcoming group when they denied my membership because they thought I wasn’t old enough.
Lena, what did the posting about Lanie say besides she’s not black?
I forgot … what is the minimum age for agplaythings?
ok i guess it wasnt really a good idea to check it out
13. You still shouldn’t have lied about age.
I thought it was something where you had to be 18. On the internet, I don’t think twice about lying about my age. You know what? I’ll apply again right now with my real birthday and they better accept me.
But really, take Lena’s advice. They’re not people you want to mess with. Think old ladies with OCD.
What do the “old ladies” argue about?
You know what? This is the reason I’ve been avoiding mentioning playthings.
Also, anything you see on there and post on here would be considered crossposting and unless you have express premission, DON”T POST IT.
Thanks for the tip
School time!
And I’m glad to see that you appreciated my colorful description.
hey guys wuts up!!! doing my paper again ugh it’s due thrus.
Hey Sarah. I have to do complex math equations. Although this is pretty simple to me
.
Factor a^2 – 15a + 56.
wow looks confusing lo!!!!l i’ll do it someday and it probaly be pretty simple like u said lol. well i’ll have to do it someday lol lol
Yep. High school requirement.
Here’s the answer to that:
a2 – 8a – 7a + (-8)(-7)
(x – 8)(x – 7)
Even more confuzing, huh?
I HATE variables with a passion… stupid algebra….
^^^ I know exactly how you feel, Holly.
LOL … I took a test that had factoring in it today. Easy stuff. I got a 97. Here’s one of the problems:
4b^3 – 12b^2 – 16b + 48
And the work:
4b^2 (b-3) -16(b-3)
(4b^2-16) (b-3)
Answer:
4(b+2)(b-2)(b-3)
Wait until you get to Algebra 2, Holly!
And we’re working on imaginary numbers now. I hate “i” now!!!
ughh i hate reducing fractions
………
any1 on???????
Lena, I can’t find Lanie on the Stores page. Lily and Allie, I am not good at math either.
Lily, I’m on the math team at school, so I’ve seen those types of problems before.
I meant that problems like those are just the tip of the iceberg.
And Ana, I never said that I wasn’t good at math . . . I just dislike it. a LOT.
Ana, its GOTY 2010. There’s activities listed there for her.
Im also good at math, I just don’t like it.
I’m waiting for the day when I’ll see a comment on here saying “click on my name to see real pictures of lanie!!!!!!”
Hi everyone. On the AGFMB, one of the members works at a library or something, and she searched professional library resources. She found out that in 2010, AG is coming out with 2 six book boxed sets for girls named Denise and Sarah. They’ll be historical. I just thought I’d tell you in case you’d want to know.
Lena- yea that is confusing wow lol!!!
lol im doing math right now lol
Lauren, that’s very interesting. But I need more than someone’s word. Like an official trademark. Unfortunatly, neither of those names are a live AG trademark right now.
But it does bring up an interesting question: Best friend for Addy?
i want sarah cuz that’s my name… but i read the addy’s books and it says shes poor?! is denise the rich bff of addys i think it is maybe they will make them who knows….. they were going to make kristen bff singingbird i think but shes being archived and i heard that on a youtube video of historical bff!!!! so it might not be true….. and i knew that they would be making ana beckie’s cousin but maybe they will and they should make her friuend rose 2!!!! nmmmmmm…..
Ana is not Beckie’s BFF. Rose is. And I’ll be disapinted in AG if they make an Ana, because it will be the same doll in a different dress.
Addy’s friend was not named Denise. That’s a fairly modern name. Her rich friend/enemy was named Harriet.
And yes, Sarah’s poor. Her mother is a laundress and Sarah sometimes has to skip school to help her mother.
who is denise? i thought i put that ana was beckie’s cousin oh well anyways back to my paper again lol:)
Huh. I had a though. What if Denise and Sarah are just placeholders for real AG historicals? Neither name is trademarked, so it could be like with Lulu and Chrissa.
Also, if Sarah would become a companion doll she wold only have one book, not six, so it’s probably something else.I think you’re on to something, Lena.
Meh, I just remeber that whole “Lulu?! What kind of name is Lulu!?” outrage when she was anounced as a GOTY. Lulu was never trademarked (Chrissa, Sonali, and Lanie were, and they had Gwen from 2005, I believe). It randomly poped back into my head now, and I thought it may be the same thing. But I could be wrong.
That would be neat to have two new historical dolls next year.
Sorry if this is off subject, but how long does it take AG to ship?
I wonder what time they would be from, IF they get made. 1844 runaway scrape. I don’t think the runaway scrape happened in 1844. Maybe a gold-rush doll.
The runaway scrape was in 1836, around the time of the Alamo.
Gold rush was 1949.
Alamo was 1946 I think. Lily, feel free to correct me.
My bad, 36 is right.
I’d really like it if Sarah is from the late 1800’s, maybe from a whaling town in the Northeast, and Denise is from the 50’s. Detroit, maybe?
Lena, what AG store has stuff about Lanie?(Atlanta, New York, Boston etc.) I got glasses!
The online one. You know what? Click my name.
How long does it take for AG to ship? I just ordered something a few days ago.
Depending on where you live, I’d say about a 4 days – a week.
1949?
If AG absolutely had to archive Molly, it would be neat to have a Hawaiian doll from the time of Pearl Harbor (1941).
They wouldn’t though, because that’s an event, not an era. Just like Rebecca wasn’t on the Titanic, etc.
They probably wouldn’t do that because they would have already made a 1940’s doll.
Assuming they are replacements, I’d say Sarah 1840, 70’s, 80’s, or 90’s. Denise 50’s or 60’s. I’m not saying they will replace Kirsten and Molly, and I still don’t think those are their real names.
Hold on to your hats ladies – we have two AWESOME giveaways coming up – hopefully I can announce them tomorrow. Let’s just say they are DOLLS….
*holds onto hat* gasp! Free dollies?
You read that right….
I’m intuamative.
Click on my name! More this weekend.
Wow, free dolls!!! I’m stunned like you Lena!!

Kind of.
Is anyone on?
I’m on now, Gracie. A little too late. : /
I can’t wait to hear more about the free doll giveaways, Char!
The first doll giveaway is up – its for a Canadian Girl doll – so cute!!
awesome free dolls my mom will luv this wow char !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anybody on im bored somebody talk to me pleezzee!!! oh guys go on youtube and look up stephanswodadancer and sub her….. she is the best doll person like how to help your dolls look good…. she has 25 dolls i think and i think that’s how u spell her usernamme so sub her pleeezzeee!!!! shes the best cuz she showed u how to put nicki’s curls back in cuz my sis friend ruined nick’s curls but now their awesome!!!! now i can do it myself!!!!!!
I won’t sub her because she really doesn’t say anything I don’t already know, but I would recomend her videos to you guys.
well yea dolldiares says it all but stilll i like her and she doesnt really tell that stuff but she does tell u about free shipping etc…… (im not tryin to be rude if u think i am) and lena wut is your youtube username anyway cuz it sounded like u have 1 !!!!!
No…. I learned from various doll sources, my cousin, and years of experiance. And my cousin always tells me the codes. But hey, I’m agreeing with you, she’s an excellent rescourse.
And no, I don’t have a YouTube anymore.
oh thanks 4 telling me lena yea ive learned it from a lot of people……. sorry i thought u were talking about doll diares
Don’t get me wrong. This site too is a good resource. Especially on new stuff.
She has a lot of dolls now. 23, I think she said.
yay
I really want to see a pic of Lanie! What is taking soooo long???
Ah-greed! I want pics too so that I can decide wether or not to ask for a different doll for christmas. because if lanie’s cute i’d get her but i cant tell right now. hurry up!
julie- i agree with u!!!!!!
You haven’t seen a picture of her yet because AG is keeping her under wraps. My cousin (who works for AG’s design department) has seen her, but she can’t tell anyone about what she looks like because she’s under contract and will get fired for it.
No one got a peek of Chrissa last year until a cupon was found in a DVD case and shared by the person who bought it. AG made sure even the puzzle couldn’t be fast forwarede to show her by making three of the squares a part of the pic.
hi again
I really want Laylie Colbert for Christmas! : D
Life of Faith dolls are beautiful! American Girl dolls look like something you could buy from Target. But they are pretty cute
Trust me on this, the Target dolls are much cheaper quality, and their faces aren’t nearly as cute as AG.
Do the Target dolls even have cloth bodies? I’ve only seen them in their boxes at Target.
I still think the ALOF dolls are MUCH better and prettier.
Better? That can be argued. I love my LOFs, but they lack the hugability of AGs.
Prettier? That can also be argued, but they are beautifuly painted and sculpted (they have real toes instead of the flat feet of AGs).
Yes, OGs have cloth bodies, but their arms aren’t strung so they can only move their arms up and down (AGs can move back and forward) and their sit is not ladylike (feet don’t end up together when sitting, but spread out) That’s also a problem with LOF’s, but that’s because their are all-vinyl.
Click my name for some pictures of my Laylie and Elsie.
Can your cousin say whether she likes Lanie or not?
Her personal taste may not match yours. She said Lanie is cute and thinks I’ll like her, but she really coudn’t say more.
oooohhh! I can’t wait to see her!! but i probably won’t get her
I’m back! Lanie is awesome. She likes nature and the sun. That’s pretty much all I know about her. AG is really keeping Lanie a secret!
After Chrissa, I’m sure just about any doll will be just fine! Do you think AG will do a countdown puzzle again?
I agree with you Lena. Your dolls are really pretty.
Thanks, Sunbeemz.
I kinda hope they do. And make it easy enough to crack.
Chrissa’s puzzle had a very disappointing result. I remember thinking “Is that it!? Really?”
Chrissa’s puzzle had no result. The three sqaures that they put on there so we couldn’t see her stayed that way until Jan 1.
They would have done better to include Gwen and Sonali in it, then we could be all “OOOOO!!!!! She has a new face mold!!!!”
i didnt even know they had puzzles revealing the GOTYs
When I said I was disappointed with the “result”, I was referring to Chrissa’s appearance. I agree, they should’ve included all three dolls.
I know you were refering to her looks.
allie- it’s on the AG website starting in December. It’s usually in the “Fun for Girls” area of the website.
Hopefully AG does have a puzzle countdown! Their so cool!
Yeah, I hope so too, Ana. Or maybe they’ll do something a little different, but still do the kind of countdown thing.
thanks for letting me know that Ana
and Ava
Does anyone know when the Julie Movie comes out? Or when and where the auditions will be?
Sarah,
I really enjoy Stephenwodadancer too, you can learn a lot from watching her videos, I learned how to rewig my Kirsten doll from her videos.
Bubbles, a Julie movie was only heard about once last year, never again. It was more than likley scrapped.
I hope not! Yet, you’re probably right.
Yawn. Cleaning my room took forever!!! And I still need to do homework. Yuck.
On the bright side, I’ll be listing this stuff on eBay in the next two weeks!
2 new Kirsten dolls
Nicki doll with box
Kailey & most of her collection
Molly’s trunk
Samantha’s winter party outfit
Kaya’s jingle dress
Kaya’s fancy shawl dress
Felicity’s ribbons
camping gear
guys im going to the ag place today whhich doll chrissa or sonali or gwen hurry!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sonali.
Justin Bieber- Love Me
Listen to it!
Normally I am not a fan, but this song is pretty awesome
I like his song called One Time
I hate most pop and boy-band stuff.
Me too. I like the J5 music mostly.
Wow this is exciting! Its been a while since ive been on the site. How is everyone?
I’m good, Ashleigh. Broke my toe, but otherwise good.
i just got emily 2 days ago and i LOVE her
lacie the ag doll fan
lacie the ag doll fan
Ouch. How did it happen? Stroller run over your foot
Taekwondo. I kicked the pad in the wrong way, and that cause the bone to snap partially.
thanks lena 4 helping i got chrissa and sonali 4 christmas!!!!!!
i love justin biebers (me and my sis)
Who is Justin Biebers?
I don’t do any after-school activites, but I joined my school chorus.
Ouch Lena!!! Guess you weren’t all the way focused or something… haven’t done that yet…. Hope it starts feeling better asap!!
O, by the way, my knee surgery was worse than expected, but I’m doing well.
Well, here’s hoping you get better soon, Holly.
Yeah, I wasn’t paying much attention (didn’t help that I didn’t sleep either). Plus my holder was a yellow belt just learning how to hold.
On the bright side, I now hold the number 1 spot for Most Accident Prone Person Master West Has Ever Met.
Thanksgiving Break!!!
Of course, they couldn’t let us go without a really hard history test today. That just wouldn’t be right
My district had the whole week off. I don’t know why, they just did.
Hello! Is anyone on?
The time on here is an hour off. At least in my timezone it is.
Yay 5 day weekend!!!!!
In my district, we used to have the whole week off. For the past couple of years, we’ve gotten out on Tuesday (one year Wednesday). It’s rotten. I just think the educuation agencies/boards just want to make life harder than it has to be for students. No kidding, they’re bitter kill joys who enjoy giving us more graduation requirements, fewer exam exemptions, more days in the school year, and more standardized testing.
^^^You guessed right. Last year in my district the switched high school time (7:30-2:30) with middle school start time (9:30-4:30). They said it would save money. A lot of parents and students got upset (no more babysitting younger siblings, no more after school jobs to name a few).
Needless to say, the new times saved NO money, so they switched back this year.
Trust me, I think I can rate in the top ten most accident prone people in the USA
Lena, do you know anything about the trunk I’m selling? Click on my name.
Hmm…. it could be a black market thing (not saying it is), or maybe a factory error. Those have been known to occur sometimes That is an odd trunk though.
I doubt it’s off the black market; they wouldn’t make it so heavy and of high quality. Besides, it looks identical to other trunks (except for the flip flop) and it came with other authentic American Girl items. Hopefully people will bid on it. Thanks for looking at it, Lena!
You’re welcome.!
I don’t know, black market things tend to be from the AG factory and missing monor accessories like shoes. But more than likely that was a factory error.
Thanks for the get well wishes Lena.
OMG OMG OMG! I am very excited!!! AG is opening a new store at Park Meadows mall south of Denver, Colorado. I will be SOOOOO close.
BTW, it does not open till spring.
http://denver.bizjournals.com/denver/stories/2009/11/23/daily34.html
Proof of new store.
30 days until Christmas! OMG… Getting Julie!
That is so great! Wow!! I can’t wait to see what Lanie looks like! Thanks, dolldiaries!
Yay for Christmas…. and then Lanie’s officially reaveled only 6 days later!
I might go to Poland this Christmas (trip to Italy’s been canceled… I’m kinda sad bout that) and if I do, I promise to send pictures of Helena enjoying Polish Christmas celebrations… and the Polish country side.
Poland, that’s neat, pictures would be great.
Pictures of Lanie would be great!
I’m getting Rebecca for Christmas, and Piper!! (Karito Kid) I’m really excited!! I’m also getting a girl bearded dragon. I’m naming her Karma.
OMG! Someone on youtube said the GOTY last name is Holland
Lanie Holland
(New Rumor, not sure if it is true, I just came across it)
From AGoffficial – click on my name to go their
My goodness. She got a doll because she got 3 B’s and a C on her report card.
i no, but thats not the point
(anyways it was one of her moms dolls)
:/
LANIE HOLLAND SHOW US A PIC PLEASE
Again, Lanie is being kept under wraps by AG, and we’re unlikley to find a pic of her before mid-December.
Yah, But last year on youtube people had pics of Chrissa in October!
Anyways, imagine if Lanie was a Historical Doll and we will get some doll that no one expected. Hey, that might happen! AG might want to lead people into something else so NO ONE figures it out.. .Huh, that would be PRETTY AWESOME!
Late October, and I’m pretty sure that wasn’t Chrissa the doll, but the actress playing her.
Also, asked my cousin about her, its safe to assume Lanie is the GOTY.
Well, AG is probley brainstorming ideas for the Historical Character that will replace Kirsten. No offense AG.
click on my name!!!
hi guys i really want some friends on here can you please talk to me
Hello!
Lanie sounds like a more modern name. I don’t expect that a historical doll would have only two books instead of six.
Gracie, Lanie is a GOTY. Megan, did you go to the AG store in New York?
I know. I was saying that it is very unlikely that she is a historical character.
Ana, American Girl comes up with dolls about 3 years before they are released. I’m pretty sure all they need to do is put her on shelves.
And also, We never know if Lanie IS the GOTY, Lena you say that your cousin knows, but maybe she is wrong! There might be a whole other doll.
Also Lena, I’m sorry that I wasn’t accurate with my notice dates. And I saw the actual DOLL in october, it wasn’t the actress.
Oh my! Lena how did you break your toe? sorry for the late response i’ve been busy seeing family for thanksgiving.
Oh I’m glad theres going to be a store in Denver, my cousins live in Colorado and love American Girl but have never been to the store!
Holly thats cool you’re getting Rebecca, personally i love her because she’s just like me! Lena thats cool you’re going to poland, I’ve never been out of the country but im going to france soon. (my family all speaks french) Too bad about italy, I’ve always wanted to go there, im italian, and my moms irish!
Ana, I heard about Rebecca in the 90’s. It takes way more than three years to fully develop a historical.
Julie, my cousin works for AG. In development. She’s seen the doll and assures me that Lanie is the GOTY (although she can’t give other details. darn)
Ashleigh, I broke it kicking a pad the wrong way. Doesn’t help that they guy holding it was just learning.
I still want to go to Italy, but Christmas in Poland is kinda better. I get to see my family and visit all the historical sites. Not to mention that my town has soem very historcial place (one of the oldest wooden churches in Europe). Not bad for such a tiny town.
This eco-friendly doll is GREAT idea especially because of global warming, i think it’s great american girl is uses this doll to make a stand for the enviroment and to get girls involved, i bet the contest this year will have to do with helping your community out when it comes to the enviroment and nature! Lanie sounds so cute, I think it would be so cute if she was hawian sorry for my spelling.
Oh and Julie, Julie is such a great doll, her hair is so pretty and nice. I’d reccomend not taking out the braid though, since you can’t ever get it that tight.
