11 - med skin, dk brown eyes, black hair, RETIRED
« Thread Started on Aug 11, 2006, 12:53pm »
GRADE: A+

This is by far my favorite AGT!! Even though AGT #15 was my first Today girl back in 1997, I came across #11 at a yard sale in 2004, and she knocked me over. Her shiny black hair is so pretty, and the style suits her facial features.

A lot of people don;t care for Addy's facemold, but I happen to think it is the best mold they have. I may also be biased in that this mold depicts what most of my family members faces are shaped like. Especially the cheek and forehead area.

I have all versions of this doll, too. I have the 1st issue, two Mattel issues(one on the way), and a PM issue from 1998. Most of my girls have been rewigged. Here are a couple of pics:

#11 is a very pretty doll. A notation that she would only be available "until supplies last" was added under her photo on the AG website in Fall 2008, and she was pulled from the site as of October 1, 2009.

This is Mercedes Rae, aka Traveling Sadie, who originally lived with DivabyDesign. She is a first issue #11. She is a brown-eyed, medium-complected doll with non-textured black hair and the "Addy" face mold. I particularly liked her for the variety she offered among dolls with that mold due to her hair texture, and for her glowing skin tone.

Looks cute with glasses, too.

Sadie has had her share of adventures. Here she is ice fishing in Alaska:

Eating grilled cheese in Wisconsin:

Dressed up for spring in Tennessee:

And hugging a giant Peep. Or wrestling with it. I'm not really sure. But you can see how pretty her facial coloring is here:

Two medium-complected dolls here, Sadie and a JLY-2. (Also, dollie foodstuffs.)

JLY-11 has essentially the same wig as the retired version of JLY-4, with those infamous AG thick, triangular, no-part bangs. When AG revised that style of wig back in Fall 2008, they didn't change JLY-11's. She has a lot of versatile looks, as illustrated by the photos in this thread, and she gets an A+ from me (and my daughter).


Many thanks to Sail Away, DivabyDesign, Sproutsmom, AmericanGirlRescue and JeanieD for some of the photos used herein.

My #11 arrived this morning. I think she has such a sweet and pretty face with just the right amount of roundness and softness.

The meet outfit is cute without being spectacular. The leggings seem rather skimpy in the seat area: each time I sit the doll down, her pants and leggings need pulling up over her butt again afterwards.

No loose limbs here!

I was going to call her Sabrina but now that she's here I think she's more of an Eliza. We shall have to see...
She is standing here next to the screen of my laptop and each time I look up I could swear she is about to say something. (Georgia, my #26 often gives the same impression. I wonder if it's something about this face mold? )

I wouldn't dream of giving her anything less than an A+

I love this doll! She really doesn't get enough attention from AG! She is stunning. Her expression is just the sweetest. A+
I named mine Sierra Renee Nicholas. She's becoming one of my favorites!

I went to AGB-B in Natick, MA and I was planning on getting #19, but one look at #11 and she called to me so I got #11 and her name is Lori- Anne. She is such a pretty girl.
