Lindsey was the first AG doll I ever fell in love with, way back in 2001 when she was introduced. I loved her scooter, I loved her outfit, I loved her little laptop; I loved everything about her.
Unfortunately, I wasn't much of a "doll" girl, and my parents didn't want to buy me a doll that expensive only for me to get bored of her, so by the time I convinced them I really did want an AG, Lindsey was no longer available.
I'd long since given up trying to find her as she was always listed on eBay in my earlier collecting days for truly outrageous prices, but in about April, I found her listed on ebay as an unidentified AG doll. She didn't have her meet outfit, but she had nice face paint and her hair looked, while not silky smooth, not too dry, so I placed a bid and I won!
Her hair was quite dry when I got her, and after several sessions of braid spray and deep conditioning, I realised the only way to fix her hair would be a boil perm.
I did get the curlers a little too tight for her canon look, but it suits her:
However, as you can see, the curls have fallen significantly since then, while her hair remains soft:
She also has the loosest limbs of any of my dolls (I suspect she was very well-loved, and I'm a bit nervous to try restringing), though with some careful posing, she can stand on her own.
My Lindsey does have a bit of a pallor to her, though it's not noticeable unless she's with other dolls.I wouldn't say she's grey but she's not quite as rosy as my other light skinned dolls.
Her meet outfit remains one of my favorites, and I still hope some day to at least get the shirt, skirt, and hoodie.
