For adult millennials of today, American Girl Dolls were kind of a big deal. The brand features dolls of 10-year-old girls from different time periods in American history complete with stories, period accurate clothing and accessories.
But, the fun doesn't stop there. American Girl also has dolls that can be customized to look like the kid that plays with them. It's no wonder millions of kids (the author included) in the 90's and 2000's were crazy for American Girl. Now that American Girls's original fans are all grown-up, why aren't there dolls for adults? As kids we had adventures with Felicity, Kit, Molly, Addy, and company. But those were kids stories. Sure, we have TV shows like "Girls", "Insecure", and "Broad City"," to help us adjust to our newfound adulthood. But, why can't we have 18-inch dolls with their own books and stories to help us through the trials and tribulations? Well, sit back, and relax and prepare yourself for the best business proposal ever: American Adult Dolls. Original characters with books and dolls to match! Eat your heart out, Lena Dunham!
Mallory Jenkins
Meet Mallory, a recent college graduate who's "just figuring it out". Her inability to get a stable job, and her crippling debt from college isn't helping her feel better about moving back in with her parents. Your Mallory doll comes dressed in her university's sweat pants that have not been washed in weeks, an old Aeropostale T-Shirt, smudged glasses, and a permanent buffalo sauce ring around her mouth! Additional accessories for purchase include Mallory's student loan bills, a worn-down Macbook Pro, and a bag of Cheetos.
Grace Porter
If you were to Google "Life of the Party", Grace Porter would totally be on the third results page. She fancies herself a modern gal just trying to have the best social life out there. A Manhattan PR assistant, Grace likes to party from when the sun goes down until the sun comes up, and still manages to make it to work on time! Your Grace doll comes dressed in a sparkly, wrinkled bodycon dress, with matted, tangled hair, and mascara smudges that can be taken off with cold water! Additional accessories for purchases include Grace's clutch that contains Advil, makeup wipes, spare change, and a crumpled nightclub wristband.
Amelia "Mia" Hardwick
Mia was a bit of a mean girl in middle and high school. Having used all of her energy to bully and belittle her classmates, Mia didn't really concentrate on getting into colleges. So now, in her late 20s Mia sells herbal weight-loss wraps on Facebook! Looks like karma is real, something all American Adults know to be true. Your Mia doll comes dressed in an outdated Juicy sweatsuit with purple sequin UGGs. Additional accessories for purchase include a half-empty bottle of Curious: by Britney Spears perfume, reusable stick-on French manicure acrylic nails, and a gold necklace that says "Mia" in cursive.
Hopefully American Girl picks up on this amazing business idea (seriously, American Girl, please do, some of us have student loans to pay).
