for the love of blythe

just hangin' around in ueno

fishy blythe

my friend evette is a collector of blythe dolls.

midori loves tokyo

first there was one.....

gee these timetables are a breeze to read

then there were two

mum and dad (evette and justin) at ueno

their mum was happy but needed more

blythe does japan

and then there were three

saucy photo session with a legendary tokyo fashion photographer
collectables
collectables

and then there were four. to join the other 6 waiting at home.... she now has a quarter of the entire blythe doll collection. and dozens of fashion accessories to dress them all in. it's just fabulous.

collectables. collectors. a very special relationship. a very special breed. i wonder if anyone has ever done a philanthropic study. it would be fascinating.

Oh Marty,
You have made my girls look so glamourous! Weird? Disturbing? Hee hee hee......how cool to be disturbing and fashionable at the same time.I think a psychologist just released a book about dolls and the freaks who collect them ( something to do with the Safety of inanimate love objects).
Nicole, lets just say Blythes are Go and leave it there...

The dolls and settings are weird and disturbing; I love it! Great photos and those vacant eyes really bother me!

These are great! The dolls fit in so when in Japan.

I check your site often and love the photos! You really do capture Japan in a beautiful way. I'm living north of Tokyo teaching English in a city called Oyama.

Keep it up! I'll be back!
