Australian models such as Miranda Kerr, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Catherine McNeil have so far enthused leading fashion designers, magazine editors and makeup artists. But that’s not all…now; these catwalk babes have enthused Mattel – the makers of Barbie.

Barbie, the world’s most well-known doll has a new collection of dress. The new Barbie dresses have a characteristically Aussie look, with some of the 12 new mini models inspired by Australian beauties.

The Barbie Basics Collection was commenced at Australian Fashion Week.

12 Barbie dolls have been styled in the little black dress, each featuring faces enthused by Aussie supermodels.

You need to have that little bit something additional even in something like Barbie and this line delivers that, said Robert Best, the principal designer for Barbie.

It is aimed at a fashion consumer and a consumer who’s going to be aware of the kind of girls like Miranda Kerr, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Catherine McNeil who are functioning and dominating the pages of fashion magazines.

WRFR’s Second Annual Fashion Show and Silent Auction will get place tomorrow, (May 1st) at 7:00 pm at the Lincoln Street Center for Arts and Education.

Tickets are $5.00 in advance or $8.00 at the door, advanced tickets are obtainable at Grasshopper Shop, Maces, Caravans, Theo B. Camisole and Heavenly Threads.

WRFR is an all volunteer non-commercial radio station, rather than having a set format, the station airs dozens of programs weekly, covering enormous range of topics, styles and genres.

The station broadcasts at 93.3 FM in Rockland and 99.3 serving Camden and neighboring communities.  The annual fashion show fundraiser is one of the few events that give financial support for the station, which receives no government funding or foundation grants and relies on the support of local business sponsors.

The event is being controlled by Joelle and Rachel Albury, hosts of Jo and Cheech’s Radio Hour heard on Tuesday evenings on WRFR.
