Here's a link to a wonderful photographer, Moon Rouge on Flickr. She has an enviable collection of Blythe dolls and has taken some brilliant shots of her KMT, who is named Krystal Blue.
As I already have Kitty who is brunette, I was really keen for my next doll to be a blonde, purely for balance really. I'd seen a few different blondes in my price range and just this weekend was outbid on eBay on a NRFB 'Sunday's Very Best' Blythe. Actually, that was really upsetting. I'd been watching her for days and noticed that by some miracle, the price wasn't increasing as quickly as I would have expected (this was from a non-wholesale UK based seller with excellent feedback) so I decided to bid on her. I was the winning bidder right up until the very last second then, just as I thought she was mine, it said I'd been outbid with one second to go. My boyfriend said it was probably a sniper bidder using a pre-programmed bid system. I was so upset but had to accept that's just the way things are on eBay sometimes.
Anyway, having set my heart on her I had to move on and it was while I was scouring the eBay listings that I found Kiss Me True. She wasn't one I'd seen before and at first I wasn't sure about her hair colour (I'm not a fan of the fantasy hair colours - I prefer more natural colours). However, once I'd read her biography and looked through some more images, I was smitten. I don't like the 'cutesy' look for Blythe, I prefer her when she's high fashion and cutting edge so KMT's strapless dress, leather jacket and platform boots really appealed to me. Her hair is a very unusual colour and it's long which is another feature I wanted of my next doll.
Oh, but look at me trying to justify my imminent purchase! I do think she'll be mine soon, I just need to make peace with the expense. Eeek!
