I don't think of my Nellie doll as a red head, either. She's more of a Strawberry blonde, like me.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Jenny, maybe Nellie would have needed the highlights at our age too, but I don't know if they did them in the 1930's. I always loved the term "strawberry blonde" it's really cute.

I know sometimes it's hard to bond with a doll, but it can occassionally take a little longer, and then it's 'bing' and all of a sudden it's there.
