I was debating whether to call this post Millennials or Noughties. At any rate these are dolls from the first ten years of the 2000’s.

Flower Power Teresa 2000

I nearly put her in the nineties category as she looks more like a nineties doll, I think. A few dolls with twist waists were made around 2000 but after that year it was pretty much all belly buttons apart from Dolls of the World and other special editions.

I know this doll because I used to have one myself. I regretfully culled her when I was trying to thin out the dolls a bit but I always liked her so I’m kind of glad to have another one. I do love the old Teresa face sculpt.

Swan Lake Odette 2003

I was puzzled about this doll who obviously had ballet arms but looked as if she had wings as well. OK, I thought , I will search for a fairy ballerina. Nutcracker didn’t look right so I kept searching and found the Swan Lake dolls. I took to my favourite Facebook Barbie group with my guess and some photos and had it confirmed by someone who had one. Score for me! Here is a link to a boxed one.

Odette was in very good shape but her legs were really dirty. Nothing a good clean wouldn’t fix though.

Fashion Photo Barbie 2002

Three of these dolls turned up in the crate. She must have been a popular doll. I was puzzled by the dance action body and wouldn’t have thought of searching the 2000’s but I turned to the Barbie Facebook group I follow for some help. I learned that she has the Generation Girl Barbie face and another member identified her as Fashion Photo Barbie for me. This doll came with a camera for the child to use. Here is a link to a boxed one.

These dolls are in varying conditions. One has had quite a big haircut, another may have had a trim or there may have been variations between dolls. I don’t have the original outfit for any of them so I’ve dressed them in random outfits from the box of odd clothing.

I am currently working on a post about nineties Barbies but have to re-photograph one as I wasn’t happy with the first photos. I also have to remember where I put her. I am also working on a post about celebrity dolls which is ready except one of the dolls has vanished and I have no idea what I have done with her. Wish me luck remembering.
