Ju-Sa-Lil

Julia went to school again today in her plaid skirt and knee socks.  I had the audacity to try and choose a different outfit for her, but then she reminded me: "But Mommy, it's Wednesday, and on Wednesday, I wear KNEE SOCKS!"

Why on Wednesdays, you may wonder?  (among other things you may be wondering about, such as: why the sudden knee socks obsession?)  Well, Julia explains her reasoning: "Because on Wednesdays we have MUSIC, and I feel kind of like, music is, like, the FANCIEST of all our specials."

I don't know about you, but that makes perfect sense to me.

Now, Julia may be ALL ABOUT wearing knee socks and imitating 1940s school girl fashions, but her latest American Girl creation is one from the future!  Julia and two of her friends at school created an American Girl character named Ju-Sa-Lil, which is a combination of the first names of Julia and her buddies. 

Julia got hard to work on this Girl of the Future, and just WAIT until you see what fashion looks like way off in the far future of...

2015.

WOW.  Way to dream FAR OFF into the future, Jules!

You won't believe how much things have changed 7 months from now.  First of all, the English language has been drastically altered.  Instead of "Mother" and "Father," the new term is "Madra" and "Fadra" (pronounced like "mah-dray" and "fah-dray"). Additionally, several English words seem to have lost their first letters in futuristic pronunciation.  "Humans" are now "umans," "bananas" are "ananas," etc.  Further, several words have their letters scrambled or rearranged.  For example, "tv" is now "vt," and "eggs" are "gges." 

You might ALREADY be wondering how things could have changed so dramatically by 2015, but the biggest change is yet to be revealed: Ju-Sa-Lil and her family live INSIDE THE EARTH.  No one today lives inside the Earth, right?

Confused?  Me too.  From Julia's description, either Ju-Sa-Lil and her family live in the Earth's core: "Because they live inside the Earth, where it's just, like, rocks and stuff," OR: Ju-Sa-Lil and her family live outside of civilization: "Well, there's, like, NOTHING around, and it's just, like NATURE, and instead of houses it's CAVES and stuff."  Never fear, however, because they still have contact with those who live OUTSIDE the Earth (aka in the part of Earth where there exists more than rocks and stuff.)  Take a lok at Ju-Sa-Lil's family and friends:

Apparently, Ju-Sa-Lil's family and friends all look like blank circles.  (In reality, I suspect Julia is leaving the pictures blank so that her two co-creator buddies can help with the illustrations.)  Check it out: Ju-Sa-Lil has two friends from the outer world, Sophie and City.  So clearly there is some easy way IN and OUT of the Earth so that the peoples of both worlds can interact.

Anyway, Julia is only through Chapter 1 of "Meet Ju-Sa-Lil," so we still have yet to see what adventures await the people of Inside Earth.  Stay tuned, folks, because I know you're all excited to find out what life in 2015 will be like!
