For those of you wrapping your minds around 1999 historical dolls, some fun facts:
My grandma was a depression child like our girl Kit.
Grandma was a military steno pool secretary during Molly and Nenea’s storylines. (Infamously when she got the initial messaging that the war was over she called all her girlfriends and told them to go buy pantyhose.)
My mom is a boomer like our girl Maryellen and spent some of her youth as a self proclaimed Navy brat in Pensacola Florida.
I was born during Julie’s storyline.
I was about the same age as Courtney but did not get a Molly because PC was not on our radar. I still had and played with Barbies.
I was in graduate school during Nicki and Isabel’s storyline.
My kids, including my son, have read all the historical AG books and even now in their advancing middle school years will ask, “so was that like Felicity time or Caroline time”.
