american girl magazine

American girl: Magazine. (2010). Middleton, WI: Pleasant Co. Publications.

One of my favorite Hebrew words is stam. It's a word that's a little hard to define, but essentially means "ordinary" or "for no particular reason." You can use stam to describe things that just are the way they are, things that are inexplicably unremarkable, or maybe a little boring.

To me, American Girl Magazine is sort of stam. Not terrible, just not particularly innovative. It covers general topics of interest to young tweens: friends, craft projects, quizzes, stories, and helps keep the AG empire intact. Sort of girl power lite.
