As I was looking through old posts to see if there was possibly any fashion doll I hadn’t shown you all yet I discovered that I didn’t seem to have used all my Denim Basics girls for Fashion Doll Friday.

So, today’s Friday Girl is Denim Basics Barbie #11 aka Joanne. She has the square-jawed Teresa face which is one of my favourite facial sculpts. Joanne has been a model for a couple of Fashion Fever Closet shows but as far as I can tell she has only appeared on a Friday once, with her sister Kate (Black Basics #1) and that was back in 2015.

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. A beautiful doll and I like the way you’ve redressed her. The Barbie Basics was another Mattel line that seemed to come and go in a flash.

    • I know just a few short years we had them. The last lot, the swimsuit ones, were not widely available over here. They made the nicest male dolls during that time too.

  2. Joanne is beautiful and looks great in both outfits. The light blue blouse has amazing detail, whoever makes them at Ella’s dolls is very talented. The Barbie Basics did seem to come and go in a flash, I remember them being advertised in LBDs.

    • The blouse was a Fashion Fever separate and it is very well made. Mattel made great clothes then. I do have quite a few skirts, tops and dresses from Ellasdolls though. She does a great job.

  6. Having major doll envy, she has an upscale beachy (Santa Barbara) vibe to me.I can see her in golfing togs or at a dog show and charity fund raisers. (Maybe her own show on cable). I do have a blonde Teresa w/ a standard bent arm twist n’ turn body, but your gal w/ the taffy hair is what I’d call “spring soft” showing light colors to an advantage.
