American Girl dolls, old-timey dresses… What was with our obsession with the past?
American Girl Dolls
The line-up of American Girl dolls in the '90s was all about different historical eras. There was Felicity, a Colonial-era girl; Samantha of the early 1900s; the WWII-era Molly; Kirsten, an 1854 pioneer; and Addy, who lived during the Civil War.

Rag Curls
Largely influenced by movies like the one above. But they never turned out as perfect as Sara Crewe's.
