Eliza Rickman- Black Rose

I love this video with Eliza Rickman singing Black Rose; it is one of the best blythe videos I have seen as it is very poignant...

I am so excited as Tokori made by Melacacia is coming home to my house. I am not sure why the person who bought her from Melacacia just a few months ago is selling her as all she said to me was that Tokori didn't fit into her collection. I am so happy that she is mine now. All I wait for is for Tokori to arrive at my house. Goldie will be so happy now not to be the only blythe mohair girl here.

My Teru Just Arrived


My Teru Just Arrived
Originally uploaded by rhubs knit
I was growing tired of Lati as I have many yellows and the waiting time was getting longer and longer. Plus I did not feel that I was interested in anymore of their more character like dolls that they had been creating lately; for instance the Pirate Yellows. Then I saw that Lati was offering a new green that was tan and not only was he tan, but he was incredibly good looking. So I decided to take a chance and order one last doll; his name is Teru.
Well he has arrived and he just so to speak knocks my socks off or as I said at the time; I was dancing with my heart in the air as he is a beautiful handsome. His tan is so rich in colour compared to the original tan Greens and I think it is even richer than the Gloomy Garden Greens. The photo on the Lati site even shows him as darker than all the other Greens, but I was not sure how true the photo would be and if the photo would bare any resemblance to the color he would be in real life. While there are a few lighter areas by the seams, he still is so perfect and one can expect a few minor lighter areas with this dark a tan. All I can say is I am in love and he came a lot quicker than Yellow Zorro, Elena and White basic special Kong. Although he is so much different than my other Green tans I still look forward to using him with them as I now have 3 girls and 3 boys.  Unlike most collectors, I have been keeping all the Latis as the sex they were released as originally when Lati created the idea for each of them and I know I am one of the few with so many boys. A friend of mine, who has just recently received her Teru too,  has turned him into a girl and he also makes a beautiful girl as all Latis do. I had someone ask me on flickr or cafe lati which sex he was going to be as so many Lati collectors do turn their male Yellow and Green Latis into girls and I just thought to myself how could anyone have all girls and no boys, I guess they like having the same sex as they are themselves.  Plus I think it is easier to change the smaller White, Yellow and Green Latis into the other sex just like we sometime mistake younger children for the opposite sex as it is only as we grow older that our sexuality usually becomes apparent to the outside world.
I will keep watching Latis new releases now just in case there is a ball joint doll that is made by them that I just can't do without. However they are really too expensive for me to keep purchasing them. Many are unhappy with Lati because of the long waits and problems that they have had with Lati. I have had a few issues with Lati, but nothing except one that could not be worked out. I am curious what the Xmas releases will look like...the Halloween release of Yellows was quite cute; I just have too many Yellows to purchase anymore, at least that is what I think right now. We will see. Lol :)

My Latest Blythes

I am trying to slow my desire to purchase more dolls especially Blythe dolls. However it is very difficult especially when there are such talented dress makers as "I Have Wings"as worn by both Manuheali'i on the far left and Midnight Spell in the center photo model. Romina of "I have wings" is one of the best and most creative seamstresses.
Also as seen in the right hand side of this tryptic you will see Odeco by petworks and next to her the doll the farthest to the right is the newest addition to blythe called Middie. She is the latest addition to the blythe group created by CWC. Middie is close in size to Odeco, however she has longer legs. In case I am not clear Middie is on the far right in the right hand photo.
