Just Hanging Out in My Room

    The final line of the Generation Girl dolls featured the dolls in their bedrooms. This line included Barbie, Lara, Nichelle, Tori, Mari and brought back Ana. Blaine was a Toys R Us exclusive. Chelsie was missing from this line. The Generation Girl website explained this by having her move to China.
    The dolls came with accessories and furniture and the packaging also included floor areas and, except for Tori, an additional wall space. They also had one additional outfit, which also came with a matching bracelet for you.
      This line was interesting as it added to the personalities of the dolls. I mean, you can tell a person's personality by looking at their bedroom, which is the most private area of a person's house. There, they can decorate however they like, so their true personality shows through since people only invite those they want into their bedrooms. Barbie's showed off her love of movies, Nichelle's had fashion themed items, Mari was techno themed and Ana showed off her love of the ocean. 
     Speaking of Ana, I always felt her additional outfit was meant for the Dance Party line. It seems more "party like" than the rest of the outfits and I came across a picture on BarbieCollector.com years ago that seemed to support this.

 

Possible Dance Party Ana?

     This doll has her hair done differently, but the color of the outfit and the necklace seem to point to her additional outfit. I so wish they would have made this doll, but I was happy she was back in the My Room line.

      All in all, the Generation Girl doll line was one of my all time favorite lines and I miss them. The dolls today just don't seem to have the personalities and the edginess of this line, though the closest I found was the My Scene line (covered at a later date). I hope you enjoyed this little trip through time as much as I did.
