The final step was tying her head up from all possible angles to set her scalp on her head with something called tacky glue. I was prepared for the worst. I mean the stuff looked like Elmer's glue which I just couldn't imagine being strong enough to hold down rubber and plastic over hair weft bunching on the inside. I left her tied up for two nights. It wanted to leave her longer but I felt so bad seeing her like that. So I released her from her bondage the second night and things looked miraculously stable! I am really impressed and so relieved that she's finally finished and doesn't have to wear hats all the time. Reya has really become something so much more than anything I could have anticipated.
That being said, I don't think I will ever undertake such a bold and involved customization ever again unless I'm getting paid for it.
For love of Blythe and other dolly wonders...

When Emily Met Cece
I met my friend Cece yesterday in Harlem when she called to tell me that my Blythe,Reya Light was in contact with her on facebook about commissioning some crotchet hats. She had just completed two. Yes, I made a Facebook page for my Reya Light and her friends. Why not? Crazier things have been done for less. : )
So I walked down there to meet her on a oddly humid Halloween afternoon with Emily Sapphire in tow because Reya is still getting her hair done and couldn't make it. Cece had made two sweet little hats, one green with a bib and the other brown and white with a wider brim. But they were to small to fit a Blythe, so she made two more, the one seen here and a green one with a bib, not pictures,right there! I'm always so fascinated by crotchet and watching people do it. I mean Cece can make one of these hats for a real person within a couple of hours! And they're amazing!
I've always thought she should start her own little etsy shop and now it looks like she may be starting one featuring hats for Blythe. OH I'M SO EXCITED!!! I'll be taking some promo pictures for her site of my dolls modeling the hats she's made so far.

LB-Forum
I am showing very little resistance to Blythe Doll Clean-out or close out sales even when they are not meant for the American Region! I can't seem to stop myself. I thought I could limit myself but whenever I'm on flickr and I see pic of clothes in my contacts area neatly laid out and numbered I'm shopping again!
This particularly listing was meant for folks in Hamburg, Germany where the owner is from. But I had to inquire nonetheless, even though I have like three skirts, a pair of pants, a coat and some fabulous hand crochet hats on the way. Speaking of crotchet hats, stay tuned to my next blog! The Fab Five have inspired a new Blythe Doll designer, Cece Falls!

Emily Blue
No I did not buy a new Blythe. That is Emily in a blue bob wig I purchased from a PP cleanout. It arrived in the mail today and
I AM LOVING IT!
So far Emily, my first ever Blythe has had the most multiple transformations of all my Blythes so far.

That's Enough!
Doll Story
I have to be honest. I'm starting to get a little sick of the fact that my Blythes are dressed better than I am. I would love this dress in my size! I mean I would love it! And I'm not sure I can justify spending money on stuff like this too often any longer. God, I didn't buy one pair of shoes all summer! It's true, I hate shopping for myself lately, can't stand the crowds and I really haven't found anything to wear that I love in a long time but this is ridiculous.

My Final Answer
Yeah, this hair is staying. That is final. I'm really starting to like it a lot. A litte trimming and combing and a clip or two and Reya's personality started to pop out from under the curls. I'm getting her another pair of eye chips though. I'm hoping for something goldish.
Emily SBL scalp2
Emily decided to try on Reya's human hair scalp last night around midnight. I am loving her boggle eyed transformation as well. I just bought her her a sort blue bob wig just to experiment with new hair looks for her since I removed her old scalp. That hair is fried from being dyed like four times now.
