For anyone who's interested in what the world of a 50s girl might include, here's a great timeline of major events in 1954 (I picked '54 because all the girls until Nellie came from years ending in 4).

1954 Timeline

I was especially interested to see this is when ground was broken for Disneyland and the Disney show premiered on TV. I wonder if AG has ever considered doing a joint deal of some kind with Disney? Maybe a 50s doll who watches the show and who gets to visit Disneyland and tie that in with an AG promo at Disneyland? Just a thought.

And not to overlook the obvious, but didn't Barbie dolls get started in the 1950s? I wonder if they'd dare to do a mini Barbie as a doll for an AG '50s girl?
