Trivia[]
- Isabel's handwriting is dominantly in pink gel pen; on the back cover she says she used up all the ink in one pen for her journal.
- * When Tiffany passes a note to Isabel (to let her know she's no longer dancing with the group), she writes in blue and Isabel in teal since she still is using Quinn's gel pen. However, in Meet Isabel and Nicki Isabel writes in pink instead.
- Along with several illustrations of the covers of older issues of American Girl Magazine Isabel's essay has the launch of the magazine in Dec 1992 and a photograph of the first edition cover is shown. The style quiz she and Nicki take is also stated to have been from an issue of the magazine, and many of the scrap headlines and cut outs interspersed are from the magazine's articles and design.
- For the Millennium Celebration at Coffeegarden, Isabel wears the child's version of the Year 2000 Doll Outfit. This was later released in a modified version as Isabel's Year 2000 Outfit.
- The Seattle Millennium celebration was actually cancelled, with then-mayor Paul Schell citing worries about possible terrorist acts during the event (and in part blaming the 1999 Seattle WTO protests that had occurred in November).[2]
