Fashion Doll Friday: Denim Basics #05 2010


  • Nicola aka Denim Basics 05
  • Nicole wearing a similar dress to Marissa but in different yarn.

Today’s Friday Girls is another of my rarely seen Denim Basics dolls. Nicole is Denim Basics #05. She is one of the last Denim Basics I bought and like April she does not have the normal Model Muse legs and seems more lightweight than the earlier dolls. Nicole has the Lea face sculpt, another of my favourites. I also really like her long, silky black hair. I was very lucky to find several of the Denim Basics girls on special back in 2014. I think they were about $A17.95 so basically half price.

Nicole has appeared as a model on a few occasions but I think this is her first appearance as a Friday Girl.

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. Gorgeous. 🙂 The Basics series has such wonderful dolls! The outfit with the fur vest and knee length pants is beautiful.

  2. Very pretty, she looks equally well in everything she wears. I love the basic gals, the model muse-esque bodies as well as the Star dolls w/ lighter bodies who rock the red carpet look. The feet are the only issue for me as I tend to lose shoes right off. I even tried one of these bodies on my Vanna White/Wheel of fortune doll to make her taller. The Lea face makes her so peaceful/happy looking. I still love your knit dress on her, wonder how great she would be in sweaters and a trench coat, as an agent or private detective. Great gal, she wears it all well!
