Whitney Re-loaded (and possibly renamed)

Before and After Spray Matting

Once upon a time I had an HB Blythe I named Whitney. I thought she was adorable but like all things I find adorable, particularly Blythe, I get bored and want to customize and take apart. The first thing I did was spray matte her face plate which was lovely because then she looked like the stock FAO Schwartz release of Hollywood Blythe. Then I got bored again and decided I wanted a new scalp for her since the HB scalp hair is notoriously crazy. So I sold it, dyed a Cool Cat scalp and then hit a rut when I couldn't find a sufficient was to create holes in the scalp for hair plugs. so I paused on that part of her customization.

I can't believe she's mine

 Then I thought I wanted to give her a face-up but I tried several different things and I just had no clear vision of how I wanted her to look. So before I could screw her up irreversibly I sent her off to Melly Kay. And this is Whitney now after being Mellified at the Melly Magic shop. I can't even believe it's her! I'm so excited to see her in person! Of course her name has to be changed. I still have no clue what I'm doing for her hair although I do have some saran sitting around for the job. I'm not sure it will suit her new look. But I'm happily awaiting her return and hopefully she will be able to tell me what kind of new hair she wants. : )

So I whipped up a couple of fun new hats this wek which are now in the Little Brown Blythe Shop. The white one ss super soft and fluffy. I swear it's so hard to put down. I made the other hat from this really fun Bernat Tizzy yarn I found a week ago. It really reminds me a lot of the 70s an era that I am very fond of. Drop in and take a look!

BlytheCon NYC Bust?

I saw this last night for the first time in a contacts photo on IG and I thought it was a joke. I thought it was someone's idea of a bad joke and even after reading 300 plus comments in the BlytheCon facebook thread on which this was posted, I still couldn't believe it. I guess I just didn't want to. I still don't. I just feel like of all the things that could have gone wrong during the planning of this event (and I totally anticipated some bumps) this was not the one I was expecting. Of course this is not exactly a bump, It's more like a bomb. *sigh*. Just a day ago Erica was asking people for help to stuff goody bags at the end of this month and I happily offered and was so excited to be apart of any planning efforts for the first Blythecon I would ever attend in my life.

So now this happens. I don't know what to say. Erica has worked so hard on this, and I think it's such a shame but I also am begining to appreciate all the pressure that a undertaking like this requires and I do not envy it. I am thankful to Erica for everything she has done and I really hope that this can be resolved somehow.
