InnnerstarU and MAG

Hey! I am super excited about this post because I'm showing ya'll all the new things! If you read my post yesterday, you know that I cast a gloomy shadow on InnerstarU and I still have mixed feelings about it but I think that I'm getting used to it and it does sound fun. I think I'm going to wait and buy myself a doll instead instead of the campus guide because it will feel like I've earne d it I buy something nice with my own money. Anyways- back to the new stuff! First, take a look at the new meet outfit and fun doll chooser thingy!


Then here are the 4 free games you can play from Innerstar U, the online virtual world that AG is only allowing people with a campus guide or a brand new MAG to use, there fore excluding me and about %99.99* of girls. Anyways, I haven't played nay of the free games yet but I can't wait to get home from camp and play them!
They also have a intro video which explains a lot and honestly, I can't wait to buy a MAG and put her online! I know I seem a lot different from yesterday but it is really cool.


And now for the new MAG stuff! Here are some of my favorite items:



Have you noticed that my posts are getting longer? I'm proud of that because I really like have nice, long, juicy posts that my 37 amazing followers and readers can look forward too!


Anyways, enjoy the new AG! Yes, and I mean NEW! Things have changed, oh man, things have changed.

Am I Excited?

Hey everyone! You may be wondering about the title of this post, and for starters I am too. Here is why: 
I love American Girl. And I think it's a great company but lately I have been wondering (and worrying) about it. Is American Girl losing it's charm? It used to be about the Historical Characters, exploring history, and finding yourself through high-quality dolls. But now, I feel that AG doesn't care about the Historicals anymore- it's all about the MAGs. MAGs are great but I thought American Girl was about more than the contemporary style and I always thought American Girl to be one of those companies with a Historic Feel. 
With tomorrow being the opening of Innertstar University, I have often wondering if I'm really excited about it. It seems like they are copying Webkinz with the addition of the online world and buying a toy to get in. So I'm often asking myself- "Am I really excited about this?" Am I excited that American Girl is opening a virtual world? Am I excited that American Girl is changing JLYs to My American Girl- a title that could refer to any of the dolls, but yet, AG says it's only for MAGs? Am I excited that there will be new dolls? Am I excited that American Girl is giving to other charities? 
Am I really that happy about it? I honestly don't know. I know lots of people are and maybe American Girl is just ready to change-
change
Change into something better? I can't tell yet, and it's so hard to describe it in words! I feel excited about InnerstarU but I feel disappointed though because it's just changing way too much and too fast.
But I also don't understand why American Girl has to go towards the Internet, I though Lanie was showing girls to get outside. And AG has always tried to stand out- and they have, but with this new virtual world on the way will it just be another doll company like Barbie and Liv (they have virtual worlds too)? 


I don't know. But I hope this post gave you all a lot to think about it before it opens tomorrow. And I am excited and upset so we'll see where this takes me tomorrow.


Oh if only I could predict the future!

Are you kidding me?


Seriously American Girl, I hope you are.

Hi! See last week I called American Girl to ask about Innerstar University. I was very curious because I've heard some rumors about My American Girl (the new JLY line), Shine On Now, and InnerstarU. So I called and asked about. The lady (who was very nice btw) told me that this campus guide or a MAG must be bought in order to gain access to InnerstarU. I was very disappointed by this.
But I learned that AG will do drawings to win an MAG all until August 1st, but you have to an AG Ambassador (which luckily I am- I just wanted to find out what it was).

Oh well, if you want a JLY, buy one after July 13th.
That's just my advice.
