Deliciously Bittersweet

Quinn always keeps a smile on her face, a song in her heart, and an extra large bar of bittersweet chocolate hidden in the back of the kitchen cupboard, for emergencies. 

This is Princess Milk BisQuit de Q-Pot wearing her stock dress, posing for the theme "Bittersweet" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I chose her for this picture because she has some sort of a chocolate theme going on...Q-Pot is a Japanese brand that seems to encompass a lot of products, but chocolate is part of their identity.

I LOVE the cupboard in the background...I found it at our local antique mall last year, but this is the first time I've been able to work it into a picture. It is made for a stuffed bear called Muffy Vanderbear, and the size is perfect for Blythe. 

Best Friends

"Birds of a feather flock together."

In this case, it's Blythes with lovely multi-tone brown hair flocking together!

Weather Report

Today's weather: mostly sunny with a 100% chance of Blythe.

I actually took my doll out in public for this picture! Since we were going to Colonial Williamsburg (it's just minutes away from our home here in Virginia) to play Pokemon Go, I decided to put Q-Pot in my bag so I could look for a quiet spot in which to photograph her. A big tree with a low branch provided just the right setting.

Humans...

Those humans. What would a doll do without them?

So Similar yet So Different

I have three Blythe dolls that I thought looked very similar, so I took this side-by-side comparison shot of them--and now they all seem very different to me!

When I first got into the Blythe hobby, my grail girl was Veronica Lace (released in 2008.) She's the girl on the left in this picture. I was thrilled when I found her, used, in a Facebook doll group; she came with only her stock dress, but her price was so good that I didn't mind. It was her beautiful, multi-toned hair (a combination of brown and light purple) and pale complexion that drew me to her, and I love her old-fashioned clothing style.

Last year at Christmas the beautiful Gerda Eternity joined my dolly family (released in 2017.) She's the girl on the right. As soon as I saw her promo pictures I knew I would buy her...I loved her winter-themed outfit, and her hair and skin tone reminded me of my beloved Veronica Lace. It turns out that her hair is a single color, a soft, light brown, not the purpley-brown I thought it would be, but it is long, slightly wavy, and very beautiful.

Princess Milk BisQuit de Q-Pot is another doll I have dreamed of for quite some time, and she became mine just this month--she's in the center (released in 2009.) Like Veronica Lace, she has multi-toned hair (various shades of reddish-brown); that, combined with a darker complexion, and accessories in different tones of brown and cream, make me think of a piece of gourmet chocolate. I recently purchased her NRFB online at Mandarake in Japan, and I am in love with her!

So here they are, Veronica, Q-Pot, and Gerda. And the winner is...Q-Pot!
