Double Trouble - Boy Oh Boy Dolly Special

Dolly Special (Year approx 1988-89)
Models Simon, Anika & Matt
Photography Warwick Orme

I'm not too sure of the date for this Dolly Special, but judging by the brogues in this feature, my guess is '88 - '89.  The models here are Shaun and Carla, with photography by Marco Franchina.  Speaking of the brogues in this spread, I see they are from Succhi and I remember it being located in Melbourne Central (in Victoria that is) when it first opened, and their shoes were sooo fabulous with striking designs and very high quality.  Of course I could not afford their shoes, but used to go in and browse the array.

Cover Girl Contest - Dolly January 1988

Seeing as there's been a few comments wondering about the various Dolly Covergirl winners, I thought I'd do a post featuring one.  The winner for this year - 1988 was Kate Fischer who achieved notoriety for a number of things including being engaged to James Packer, and starring in the film Sirens alongside Elle Macpherson.

I do think out of all the finalists, she does stand out the most, although Talitha reminds me a lot of Heather Chandler in the film Heather's (one of my favourite films of all time).  It's funny to see Guy Pearce and Craig McLachlan in the shots during their Neighbour's hey-day.  I loved Craig's character so much that I named my Cabbage Patch doll Henry after him hehe!
