Featured is a wonderful American Girls Paper Doll, Josefina.
- Starting with the first issue of American Girl Magazine (which debuted in December 1992), the magazine included a paper doll of a real girl who had submitted her information to American Girl for a chance to be drawn.
- Six girls were picked every year, one for each issue.
- Each doll was included on a removable cardstock insert at the center of the magazine.
- The dolls were predominately drawn by Susan McAliley in the front-on pose of the released Historical Character paper dolls, with her name and photo above her.
- Each girl was given a logo and color.
- A booklet was included to be assembled; small stories of the girl and her relatives were written.
- The front cover gave the name of the girl and year of release.
- Paper dolls let us enter the world of movie stars and we became clothes designers and stylists for them.
