Real American Girls

Morty was emailing saying he might be taking his 'daughter' to American Girl when they went to Chicago. It's a racket if I've ever seen one. $80 dolls....and you can't have just one. Clothes that cost more than anything you or I have our closets (well.....except for Jon). Then there's the AG Cafe where you and your dolls can have 'tea' for some outrageous price (and you just know the dolls never ever finish what's on their plate!).

So, as we chatted on-line (avec Becca) about the dolls that are listed on their site (Kit Kittredge® is a girl growing up in Cincinnati in 1934 during America’s Great Depression)
led us to the discussion of real american girls and whom new dolls should be modeled after:

Anorexic Annie
Drunk Debbie
Cutter Katie (morty's favorite)
Homeschooled Hattie (my favorite)
Patty Mcbruisedbooty

Any other school-girl maladies that we've forgotten that you'd like to add to? Just use the comment section.
