Welcome Back Blythe

Blythe Bouchée [also known as Bebe] and Dalkin

Blythe is finally home!  I just took her out of the box this afternoon and couldn't wait to share.  Who better to welcome her home than a doll friend from waaay back.  She and Dalkin were bought from the same shop on the same day in Saitama, over a year ago.

Dalkin clearly notices some differences on her old friend, from the new matted face, slight freckles, the poutier lips, the more dramatic eyelids...along with a slightly bigger ego to go with the new shortened nickname "Bebe".  But what the hey, friends take friends the way they are!

Even though Bebe is still a bit groggy from the long trip, she insists that she looks good enough for picture taking.  I was happy to take them!

Her new eye chips are so much fun to photograph!  They give her eyes a lot of character.  And those lips...too cute!

Below is a "before" photo to compare.  As cute as she was back then, I prefer the matted face better.

Bebe's full face-up and eye chips were done by Sandra.  To see more of her lovely custom Blythe dolls, click HERE.  She's great to deal with!
