so you think i'm creepy

Everyone, meet Blythe.

Some of you may already know about my obsession with this doll. And I know a lot of you think she's creepy but she's actually a real darling :) She was produced by the US toy company, Kenner back in 1972. Guess it didn't do so well and was only sold for one year. Later on, a Japanese toy company began producing them and she became a big hit. People all over the world began falling in love with her.

The first time I ever saw one was at an outdoor market in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. A few years later, we met again in Japan. Really wish I bought one then. The ones that I have been looking at are around $150-$200 but some custom and collector items can be way more. You can buy the doll here but it will ship from Japan or you can try to bid on one through ebay.

There is a Blythe Con happening on June 20th in Portland, OR and yours truly will be attending. There are less than 100 tickets left so if you want to go, get your ticket now!
