Fashion Doll Friday: Barbie The Look City Shine Redhead 2017

This week’s Friday Girl is the redhead version of the City Shine dolls. I have had her for quite some time but I didn’t de-box her until just the other day. All the City Shine dolls are very nice I think and this one is no exception. Her hair was a little flat from being in the box for so long but other wise she is fine. I am glad that I bought her when we could still buy from Amazon US as I got her for a pretty good price. Amazon AU is selling her for $A150 which is a bit steep.

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.

  1. I absolutely love this doll! I’ve rebodied her onto a made to move body and she is one of the stars of my soap opera blog. I named her Merida after the Disney Scottish princess because of her gorgeous curly ginger hair.

  3. Va va voom, I have never seen this City Shine doll but she is certainly is striking and her outfit is in very unusual jewel tones. I miss these sophisticated, “older” looking dolls.

    • She’s great isn’t she. Her hair is a little flat but I don’t really like to mess with the curly ones too much. I have more City Shine left to show in a post and that will be next week I think.
