    It was one of my childhood wishes to have this outfit.

Today’s Friday Girl has been featured before but not recently. She is my reproduction Bubblecut Barbie. The two fashions she is wearing are an OOAK sixties style sheath dress and cartwheel hat made by Lyn Scantlebury. I don’t know if Lyn still sells on eBay but she made some very nice things. The second fashion is, of course, Silken Flame. This is a reproduction of the original. This was on the top of my childhood wish list. I just loved this dress.

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. Beautiful doll and two fabulous outfits. If only they still made this type of quality! My Fashion Queen Barbie looks very similar to this when she has on the brunette wig. She is my oldest Barbie doll. I wish I could make things to this standard but I haven’t got the patience (or the time!)

    • No nor have I which is why I love to collect vintage or reproduction fashions. And remember, these fashions were made for children to play with, not collectors. What does that tell you?
