Blythe-ism

There hasn't been much news on the Blythe front for a while but now it's fiesta time:

Neither of this one particularly feels like the Blythe drought breaker ... but there is big temptation in the form of twins: CWC Limited Edition Anniversary Petite Blythe "Denizens of the Lake Suzie Sugar" Pink and Green and more especially the flower fairy girl Petite Blythe "Denizens of the Lake Lily Wild":

Am liking the new NZ site Pretty pretty pretty = looks like one to watch for makeup and girly tips. Good on them for recommending Minifies - it's a great place for Ben Nye makeup, hairpieces, party dress up things, and jewellery.

A belated tribute to Etsy and NZ site Felt and the new breed of crafts - it's hot hot hot.
My petite Blythes are of course catered for by various sewing whizzes, as are my penchants for:
Boudoir style
Steampunk
Gothic Lolita

What's the connection between sci-fi fads and what's happening in society? from io9 - I almost got diverted into the Battlestar Galactica spoilers -hell, the tagline "Rough sex with Starbuck" is a hard one to resist!



On the telly watching theme -
Underbelly. You know a show is good when after the hour is up you are gagging for more. Adios Vince Colosimo as Alphonse Gangitano, you were a princely gangster indeed. Carl Williams and his new sidekick Roberta are terrific entertainment. As a frequent Melbourne visitor, I knew a bit about this story but Underbelly tells it so well.


You know I like me some t-shirts - how about this lot? Patrick Bateman? Dancing is gay? Who can decide.


I would like a Dethklok t-shirt though. Brutal. Metalocalypse is death metal humour (on dvd from Alice in Videoland). They are virtual, but like cartoon band Gorillaz they kick ass and are on tour. Not for the squeamish - yummy downloads here.



And at the other pole ... Heeeere's a new Blythe ... Can can can!

So shoe me

Nearly time for the "Outrageous Fortune" finale ...

Shoes! Irregular Choice is still my great love. And they are still making Blythe shoes too. A match made in heaven.

Doll Patrol


It's a dancing prancing mood on the doll front. Have ordered two lovely ensembles - "Sugar Plum Fairy" and "Flamenco Fiesta".

The dance theme is apt as Christchurch is in the midst of The Body Festival of Dance and Physical Theatre. Have yet to go, but am eyeing the hiphop and Bollywood workshops.

New gals

As usual there is a spunky little crop of the wee gels on the Blythe site. Purty.
There is also a very OTT big one called "Dainty Biscuit". She is a bit oversweet for my liking.
.
One of the joys of the big girls is their super eyechanging power. I particularly like her Liz Taylors.

blythe once more

A little influx of newbies - Gentle River and Lemon Butter (Lemon being the little one I think):

This Neo Blythe is called "Rainy Day Parade". What a sweetie in her little overalls and her nice bobbed hair

Music be the food ...


This is Spanky Punky and Shy Bear. Yes there are still lots of cuties coming through but none on order. I am cold turkey on newbies.

Idolator - thanks for the heads up from the 'Erb Whisperer on this one. He played a hot Amerie track on The Joint show and now I am hooked.

Other newly recommended/discovered music sites are Daytrotter (which has the bonus of very pretty drawings) and Pitchfork.

And suuurrrrely the band name of the year is Someone still loves you Boris Yeltsin!

My favourite video of the moment is Cold War Kids. Watch it and savour its style and the great guitars.


Glad to hear all the reports that one of my fave fashion trends is back with a vengeance
o yes it is Flashdance. What a feeling!

and cool sneaks: "Steven Hawking Allstars Summer sneaker collection arrives!"

Heartless philanderer or modern emotional realist? - This is a challenging read "This man slept with dozens of women throughout his marriage, even when his wife was at home dying from cancer. Yet he never stopped loving her and nursed her to the end... "
