Ode to American Girl Magazine
The 90s to mid-2000s was the worst time to be a pubescent girl. I will always say this. Every generation has had their share of troubles and angst that is unique to them, don't get me wrong. But the pressure girls from my generation faced, was absolutely abominable.

People! Just say Something!Published 7 months ago in VivaGender and Clothing
When I was little, I used to wear a dress made of the softest hues of blue and green. It splashed around me as I twirled in rich puddles of sunshine, and it sang the purest of songs when my voice cried out to the sky in happiness.
