American Girl Maryellen of the Nifty Fifties

(American Girl $115) Platinum Award

Newest of the Beforever collection, 18-inch Maryellen appears on the scene in the fabulous mid-century fifties. She'll have all the necessary fashions teens wore back in the day of poodle skirts with bobbie socks and saddle shoes ($36); also available a new TV or a jukebox. She's a strawberry blonde with ponytail and hazel eyes. Her story centers on the age-old struggle to conform vs. being an individual and following one's dreams.
