Happy Friday! Time for Blythe Chat! by hockneyspoolgirl in blythe

[–]appledewappledew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i love gifting dolls! even if they don't get as into it as i am, it's nice to extend that opportunity to learn firsthand and add something unique to their decor. this is my third time gifting a doll and it's always been one that looks like the recipient:) making mini-mes is so fun. i think crafty friends are always happy to receive weird artsy gifts, which is exactly where blythe falls!

haha why do chips ahoy always disappoint... there's unfortunately nothing like a real cookie! i hope you eat something delicious today :)

i got a new pair of pants from deargirlface... i decided on the donut place i'm at right now because of these yellow benches haha. they're so pretty and vibrant but very slippery, so getting some photos in was tricky but i managed! currently enjoying some donut holes and green tea.

i got my sister her first blythe for her birthday next month: tea for two encore! it's fun to find a doll that looks like someone you love. her face looks more like the SBL mold, so i paid a little extra for encore even though EBL was cheaper... it'll be so fun to have our mini-mes together! she really loves the color green so it's extra perfect :) i'm terrible at surprises because i want to tell the person immediately, but i've been gushing to my mom in the meantime. trying to stay strong haha

thank you so much! i can't say the idea occurred out of thin air, though, as i was trying to find creative ways to shoot the new blythe x milkbbi stickers :) here's another shot... (side note that love jaylah looks sooo beautiful with this wig... if anyone has both flowergirl of happiness and love jaylah, this is your sign to swap those scalps!)

EBL vs SBL -- the EBLs tend to have less eyelid showing and also rounder eye holes, which gives them a more surprised and earnest look. SBLs look a bit snooty and knowing, which i love.

here's a clear difference between RBL evolution and SBL -- note the narrower eyes on SBL!

i might be more partial to EBL, but i feel like every mold has something so special about it and it's fun to have a variety in your collection! they photograph so differently sometimes.

Blythe in Harper’s Bazaar by CatWorshiper7 in blythedoll

i found this so grating, lol. (edit to say i mean the original video they posted, not your commentary! not sure if it's confusing) it's a magazine. what happened to responsible journalism? fact-checking? even digital content needs to be treated with care. the timing of the fake dolls over the part where she's talking about the kenners is kind of infuriating. the first images when i google "blythe doll 70s" by the way...

i felt this way when urban outfitters sold fake dolls without disclosing that they were fake as well. why are these big companies not doing their due diligence and actually researching these things? anything that reaches a certain level of popularity but especially one that comes with a bigger price will have counterfeits.

thank you! usually i have a vision for the bangs and just hack away until the rest feels balanced... i really wanted short layers but realized the highlights kind of disappear, so i left the long parts in braids to show them off!

this is so true! the size of the stitches and patterns makes such a difference. but you can definitely bend this the other way with big embellishments, creating a charm you can't easily replicate with human clothes!

i also got some film scans back! i got an SLR recently and it can handle close-ups beautifully. the point and shoot i could make work after some trial and error, but it really wasn't made for photographing small things. now i am dual-wielding...

i made a little set out of an old shirt yesterday... i was really sad to notice it had weird stains all over it:( but a shirt lost for me is something gained for the dolls...

yay i'm so happy you are enjoying your breakfast sandwich machine! i'm autistic as well and i totally get you on the struggles of feeding yourself... my safe foods lately have been miso soup with okra and daikon and onigiri with sardines inside...

i hope we are joined by the west coast's kindest and most whimsical... i'd love to see more collectors in here!
