Love these! They just arrived in the mail today! That dress has pockets on the side. and the detail on that knit top is sick! it's just amazing! The shoes are more like goldish or pale yellow than tan but I love them as well. Plus, the new doll is here and If I can manage to not rip the box open until tomorrow, I will be so proud of myself.
For love of Blythe and other dolly wonders...

Orange eyes
She's going out for a night on the town but not before walking through Central Park. My next challenge will have to be to take pics of these guys in a non-nature setting, something more cosmopolitan. I like the park because I now know exactly where the perfect isolated no human spots are. City spots are swarming with people. Iiiick. Well, we'll have to get over our shyness. People might at least be amusing.

I Love You It's True... esta de caminooooooo!!!
Ahem!
This is my fifth Blythe. The one I purchased (quite by accident if you must know but the story is too long and treacherous to go into at this time) on ebay is a used one and so she will be arriving nude. To my credit it was an amazing deal. The price was so low with no bid in like the last 20 minutes of the auction! It was so amazing I couldn't help bidding on it just to see if someone would try to outbid me. And they did. And the rest is just a result of my insanely dangerous curiosity and tendency to got too far.
Anyway, now that she is mine and on her way, and now that the weather will be getting cooler which is ideal for drying paint I will be attempting to transform her into a beautiful Black Blythe!!
WISH ME LUCK!!

My First Blythes Blurb Book
For me, the whole purpose of buying a Blythe doll was so that I could photograph her and make this book a la Gina Garan, because I was so inspired by her and so shocked to discover through months of research that there are nor many American Blythe books on the market all.
The thing is I started to get distracted.
It started when I became part of the Blythe community on flickr, When I saw all the different Blythes, all the endless possibilities, all the clothes, I went crazy! i had to have more Blythe dolls because I had to have more options for photographs. In the meantime I kept having to remind myself to start the book every month or so.
I started it at home but still couldn't get it off the ground. Finally, I started it again one day at my job of all places. Something about creating it in the midst of chaos and clerical insanity made me happy and motivated.
It's a very modest book basically introducing all my Blythes, not at all like the thick volume of historical and urban study context I originally had in mind but it is a jumping off point to something bigger. I can't wait to order a copy!
Please feel free to visit my blurb page for a sneak peek. : )

The Traveling Blythe
A fantastic idea by Cookie95, a Blythe collecting friend of flickr. I hope we can actually get it together and do it. I would love to circulate an internationally communal Blythe to document and see how others document her travels as well. Heck, I wish I could be that Blythe!
And I'm not worried about shipping costs. Right Amanda?

Blythe Players
How has it taken me this long to post this?
Emily and Vida doing the wedding scene from "When Harry Met Sally." I did a scene from "Short Cuts," "Broadcast News," and "The Player" but somehow this one came out the best.
