Counting Down to Barbie’s Birthday 2010-2019


Barbie The Look City Shine aka Sasha

As it is just a week until Barbie turns 60 I thought we’d take a look back through the decades starting with the 2010s.  There were a lot of changes in that decade as Mattel experimented with different body types and articulation.  During this decade we’ve seen the continuation of the Barbie Basics series, the experiment with the Swappin’ Heads Fashionistas and the new tall, petite and curvy dolls. Here are some of my dolls from 2010 to now.

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.

  5. Wow! A really lovely collection of dolls. This particular era really drew my interest back into Barbies. All that glamour and articulation! I love Sweater Girl so much but have never found her at a price I am willing to pay. Thanks for another beautiful post 🙂

    • She is beautiful isn’t she. I got some of my Barbie Look girls when they were on special but not Sweater Girl. It was still cheaper for me to buy her from Amazon USA than to buy her in Australia though.
