Fashion Doll Friday: Double Trouble

Well, we have twins for our Friday Girl spot today. When I got this City Shine doll at Don Market recently I genuinely thought that I didn’t have her. That is until I was going through old photos to see who I could feature this week and found that I actually did. Doh!

It doesn’t matter though. She is a nice doll and such a bargain at $3. Now there is a spare one to restyle and play with. I do have doubles of one or two dolls and it’s handy because I can keep one original and change the other. Or I have a swap if something else comes along.

I definitely need to start recording my dolls though.

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. They are a beautiful pair. Do you have two identical outfits you could dress them in? I haven’t got any duplicates myself after thinning out a few. Even my Pedigree Sindys all have different hair colours and face paint, no two are exactly the same but I do have a few duplicate outfits to do the twins and double trouble theme.

  2. I know how that goes, I have duplicated too many to count, but As I occasionally twin clothes too it give me more options. This doll is gorgeous, I have the pixie cut one from the series. Great FDF!

  3. LOL – I think all doll collectors have duplicated a doll at least once. Your twins are gorgeous and it’s fun to see how different duplicates can look with a change of clothes/hairstyle.
