Welcome everyone. This is American Girls to the podcast. We're reliving the American Girls series book by book,

except here on Patreon or we're doing basically whatever we want that we think is in the world of the show,

including taking your suggestions. I'm Mary. I'm still Allison.

And we are gathered here today to talk about person, brand, perhaps original girl boss, Lisa Frank.

We're here to talk about Bananigans,

Angel Kitty, Rory,

Playtime, Sunflower, Markie,

shall I continue?

Is Flirty Horse an actual character name or was that just what that website said?

So I will say this, you know, there's always last minute fact checking and other things that we're

doing in preparation for these episodes and I found

myself googling for not the first or second time what are the Lisa Frank Dolphins' names? And I just said to myself, you know what, Allison, this is your line.

And I exed out of, I exed it out because I was on my third mental floss list of their different names. I still don't know the

Dolphins names that's okay. Don't do it. It's kind of good to keep some

mystery around Ms Frank because mystery is her middle name for all we know I mean this is a person a corporate

brand you know who insists on quite a bit of mystery around her life to the extent of not showing

her own face as much as humanly possible.

So, you know, I think it's in keeping with like the medium matching the message that you

don't pursue that information at this time.

Yeah, typically we have a certain set of sources. that

we have a certain set of source material that we use for the Patreon, right? We watch something or we read something and you can kind of follow along.

I feel like for this time it's your own relationship to stickers
