Who's the fairest of them all?
On the right, Stella Serendipitous; on the left, Leading Lady Lucy. They are wearing dresses from Junie Moon that arrived too late for Christmas last year, so this is the first time any of my dolls have had a chance to wear them. Aren't they are gorgeous dresses? (Not to mention, gorgeous dollies!)
White...is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black...God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.

This is Blythe doll is Leading Lady Lucy. I've finally taken her out of her stock outfit! Doesn't she look lovely in white? This picture is for the theme "White" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Leading Lady Lucy looks so comfortable in the beautiful bed (complete with bedding) made by Abi Monroe of FlorenceAndTaylor on Etsy, which I won at BlytheCon Brooklyn in 2017.
It seems slightly wicked to lounge in bed all day, reading magazines and eating sweets; but sometimes a girl needs to indulge herself.
This is Leading Lady Lucy, wearing her stock night gown.
The bed isn't made until the old rag doll is placed just so.
This is Leading Lady Lucy in her stock gown and robe. Isn't she pretty??!! The rag doll is one of the few Barbie accessories we have left from my daughter's childhood collection. This picture is for the theme "rag doll" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
"Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting."
That's what I tell myself when I'm awaiting a new doll. Sea Sailor See was just released, so I should have her within a week or two, but I've been anticipating her arrival for a month already, and my patience is wearing thin!! Luckily, there are plenty of lovely dolls in my doll room to distract me and help me have a good attitude while waiting. Here's Leading Lady Lucy again, still in her stock outfit, which I love.

It's so much fun when a new doll arrives...and it's a guilty pleasure when she isn't designated as a gift for a special occasion! That's the situation with Leading Lady Lucy, who arrived this week. Because she is the 18th Anniversary Neo Blythe doll, she comes with two complete outfits (one for day, and one for night) and she has a lot of fancy details that most Blythes don't have (at least, not all in one doll!) The most obvious special feature is the second string coming out of the back of her head, which allows her to close her eyes and keep them closed--sleep eyes are my favorite thing!!! She also has metallic pink and silver pull rings, translucent skin, eye shadow with eye liner, nail polish, two-tone lips (which are gorgeous!), special eye lashes and FOUR special eye colors. Her hair is described as "pinkish platinum"...and if you have a good imagination, you can see the pink!! Haha! Actually, the pink is so very subtle that it's only noticeable in certain light. I intend to do a side-by-side picture with Stella Serendipitous, whose hair is called "silver gray," to see if Lucy's pink tone will be more apparent.
Let's talk about her clothes. I love them--all of them! Every single thing she comes with is wonderful. My two favorite pieces are the fluffy slippers (so cute!) and the charming little hat. When I inspected the underside of the hat, I noticed that it was sewn together by hand. Since I've done a lot of hand sewing, I always appreciate it when I see it, particularly in a manufactured item like this, where it is unexpected.
This is Mochi, my female Siamese cat, doing a quality inspection.
She has a lot of hair! In this picture it has been washed once. I will probably wash it again, as it is still slightly sticky.
