More American Girls!

Yay! Julie, the new 70s American Girl, now has a doll, along with her best friend Chinese-American Ivy.

Um...while the girls themselves are as cute and perky as the other American Girl dolls and I love the idea of sporty Julie have bleachers instead of a desk, I'm afraid the dolls are hampered by one historical detail that can't be gotten around. I've always found 70s fashion to be a bit, um, ugly. Her crushed velvet Christmas outfit is a good example. The jumper itself is nice enough, but I hope those tights the doll in the picture is wearing aren't really pea green!
