Fashion Doll Friday: Black Basics 1.5 #6 2010


  • Barbie Basics
  • Black Basics 1.5

Our Friday Girl this week is from the Black Basics 1.5 series and she is numbered #6. I’m not really sure why because there were only 4 dolls in that series to my knowledge. I bought her at Don Market early in 2020. Naomi spotted a couple of Barbies there with Model Muse bodies and she was one of them. I think that was very lucky because I don’t think I’ve ever seen Model Muse body dolls being sold at a flea market before. I am not sure if series 1.5 was ever sold in the shops here. Certainly none of the ones I frequented anyway.

This doll has the Carnaval face and I think she is much nicer than the Black Basics #06 who also has that face. She came dressed in a Fashionista dress but this Anko one is more like the dress she was released in. Her look reminds me a little of Barbara Eden playing Jeannie in “I Dream of Jeannie” so she goes by Jeannie at present.

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. Your Jeannie does look prettier than the other Black Basics with the Carnaval face sculpt. I think her hairstyle provides a better frame for her face. Now that you’ve mentioned the resemblance, I can picture her in the pink harem pants that Barbara Eden wore in I Dream of Jeannie.

    • The Carnaval faced doll in the first Basics series is the only one that I decided not to buy because I didn’t like her face. I do like that face on Jeannie so I think you may be right about the hair.

  2. She does look like Barbara Eden. 🙂 I’ve seen her before here on your blog, and am glad to see that she still has the same fabulous hairstyle, I love that look!
