Fashion Doll Friday – Fashionista Barbie


I was in Target the other day and thought I might as well check out the Barbie aisle. To my surprise they had some of the new Fashionista Barbies. They were not very expensive so I decided to buy one. I picked this one because she was the most interesting doll with her curly hair and freckles. Here she is just out of the box.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  2. Congrats, she is one of the girls from this line that is on my Want list as well. I’m still debating whether to buy them now or just wait for the fleamarket season, because i don’t care much for their stiff bodies. Is it just me, or are their limbs even thinner now?

    • I think you are right, they are very thin and lightweight. That body looked nice on the first Basics but now it just seems cheap. We didn’t get the whole range and I didn’t think any of the others available were interesting enough to buy. This one is different at least.
