September, 1997, London. When SCORE published a gallery of the top newcomers of the year in the January 1997 edition, many readers sent in votes for their #1 even though it was never formally a contest. The editors decided to start a contest on the Net, based on all the input and interest. Unbelievably, an American porn star and stripper named Rocki Roads won SCORE magazine's Newcomer of the Year for 1996. Linsey came in a tight second. A.B. of Windham, Maine wrote "She is the most astonishingly physically perfect woman since Roberta Pedon. A more attractive woman is impossible for me to imagine." Linsey had broken through at the right time. The gigantic implant phase in big-bust magazines and videos was fading as many of the girls began to retire and new, natural superstars were taking over. Linsey was their acknowledged if unofficial leader, and even began to find new girls, often in London, to send to SCORE.
