Thrift store AG doll find!

I don't know how I lucked out, but I finally found an American Girl doll at a thrift store! She was about $20, which was a fair price for the shape she was in... I started her rehabbing before trying to figure out who she was, but honestly even if she turned out to have been a Lindsey, I have to wonder if AG would have even recognized her as Lindsey. I'll never know now as the wig is long trashed (as it smelled pretty bad). But without further ado, here she is!

Off the bat, she is dirty, has a terrible wig, is missing an eyelash and has lots of nail polish all over her. But I knew what I was getting when I purchased her. On to the cleaning! I ended up trashing her smelly wig and worse smelling stuffing. Her limbs are also very loose. Going to use the hair elastic method for tightening her. Turns out her badly cut bangs were not the only thing on her forehead.

...really? Looks like this doll wanted to be a Kadabra.

Wow that's a thin wig. Part of why I trashed it asap.

Also, turns out her lash was only retracted. Hooray! She's cleaning up rather nicely. I was able to downgrade her from a Kadabra to a starless Abra, but her body is currently drying. Tommrow I hope to have her back on her now clean body, and maybe with some refreshed makeup.
