“Samantha Parkington:
Did you know, when you picked her out, that Samantha was the cool one? Or were you simply drawn to her glossy brown hair, sophisticated accessories (she had a fur muff!) and rich demographic? Either way, every girl wanted a Samantha. If you owned her, you quickly learned the value of cachet.

By virtue of acquiring a status symbol early on (a Samantha doll was the designer jeans of third grade), you never quite had to worry about things the way other girls did. You therefore grew up to be confidant, capable, and nonplussed. You’ve always been well liked. You aren’t the funniest in your group, but you’ve never really noticed or cared. If you thought about it, you could probably recognize other women who had Samanthas. But that’s not that impressive: everybody can.”

Thank god my parents (or was it my grandmother?) did the right thing and bought me a Samantha. Who would I be otherwise??

Ha this is hysterical. What about for the girls who had a Samantha, Molly, and Felicity? Were we just spoiled? Indecisive? Suffering of multiple personality disorder? Supremely awesome? They didn’t include that option in the article. 

 This is amazing.  hahaha..I loved my American Girl dolls.
