Dolly (magazine)
Dolly (stylised in all-caps) was an Australian bimonthly teen magazine started in 1970 by Fairfax Ltd. in Australia and New Zealand, and purchased by ACP in 1988. The magazine produced over 400 issues and had a readership of 505,000 in 2007. The print edition ceased in December 2016, at which point the magazine became online only. In June 2020, the magazine was purchased from the Bauer Media Group by Mercury Capital. As of September 2023, the Dolly website ceased and now redirects to the website for Girlfriend.
Dolly was the basis and inspiration for Sassy Magazine (1987–1996) in the United States. The magazine was aimed at girls aged 13–17 and covered celebrity news and gossip, fashion and beauty and various feature articles aimed at or dealing with issues faced by teenage girls.
The magazine was launched by Anne Goldie in 1970.
The editor was Josephine Rozenberg-Clarke. The previous editor was Lucy Cousins. The magazine had its headquarters in Sydney.
In November 2016 it was announced that the December 2016 issue would be the last print issue of Dolly.
In June 2020, Dolly was acquired by Sydney investment firm Mercury Capital as part of its acquisition of the Bauer Media Group's former Australian and New Zealand titles.
The Dolly Model Competition was a branch from the Dolly magazine. It is a competition held for teen readers to enter to have the chance to win a modelling career. The competition started in 1979, with Helen Moyes appearing on the December 1979 issue as the first winner and ended in 2002 when the then editor in chief of Dolly, Mia Freedman felt it gave a negative impression towards young teenage girls and the Dolly brand. In 2012 it returned after a 10-year hiatus, with the winner announced as 13-year-old Kirsty Thatcher from Brisbane, Australia. The winner was awarded a one-year contract with Chadwick Modeling agency, a trip to New York to meet with Chadwick's US affiliates, and a fashion and cover shoot on Dolly.
