To Blythe or Not To Blythe? That is the Question.

Ok, so I've been eyeing these wide eyed dolls ever since I saw an article in Haute Doll Magazine back in 2007. I was taken with them immediately and began scouring the internet for more information. Over the years I have looked through thousands of images on Flickr and watched hundreds of Ebay auctions, but I STILL have not purchased one of these lovelies. Maybe it's the money (they aren't cheap) or the fear that I'll have a bad overseas purchasing experience. Maybe I feel a little silly about buying a doll at my age, or I worry that buying one doll might lead to a very expensive doll habit. Or maybe it's because I've had difficulty determining which Blythe to buy. Black hair, red hair, side-part or bangs? Do I buy the one that's easy on the wallet or the one that completely melts my heart?

I could go into all the many ways I've over-thought this purchasing or NOT purchasing decision but it might scare you to see the way my brain works. I'll just say that once again I'm very close to sealing the deal. She's there; I can "Buy It Now" and she should arrive in time for my trip next month. So if anyone is out there, if any Blythe owners are reading, tell me: Do I Blythe or Not?
