The cat is out of the bag!

UPDATE!!:

The cat is out of the bag! The secret project we've been working on is the Alexander McQueen/Target collaboration! A few images have been leaked already:


*photo from Wendy at www.nitrolicious.com/blog

and here is the ad in action, right in my neighborhood!:



The whole campaign rolls out on March 4th, however there's a sneak peek on Target's website. Check it out! This was definitely one of the coolest things I've done with Blythe. I'll be uploading behind-the-scenes photos of the shoot in a few weeks. And....don't faint...but there's also a live action commercial that will be debuting in March. As soon as I get my mitts on it I'll add it as well.

2009!! Here we go!

2009!! Here we go!

Hey everyone,

Happy New Year!! Hope you're all having a fantastic '09 so far!!

I thought I'd start off the new year with a competition that will put smiles on so many faces. It's called the Manna Energy Dress Drive. If you'd like to participate simply send me an e-mail at gina@thisisblythe.com with 'Dress Drive' in the subject line or visit this contest link on the forum. There are two ways to take part. Option A: For a $10 fee you'll get one of these sweet plain white dresses:



Your mission will be to design/decorate it and send it back to me. You will then receive a dress chosen at random from another TIB member. Option B: You may request up to 5 dresses without paying a fee. Your job is to design/decorate them and send them back to me. They'll be auctioned off at a later date. Now here's the best part: All proceeds will be going to charity. Based on the title of the competition you can probably guess that I've chosen Manna Energy (www.mannaenergy.org), an organization focused on providing clean water to over 250,000 kids in Rwanda (3% of the entire population of the country). Manna Energy was started by my cousin Ronnie, who some of you may remember from my constant bragging last summer. Ronnie is an astronaut who went up in the Space Shuttle in June and did two spacewalks. Where he finds the free time in which to found charitable organizations I'll never know. He's an incredible guy. I'd love to make a nice big donation from TIB, so PLEASE participate in this if you can. It really is a worthwhile cause AND it could get your girl a new frock!!

After years of chatting on-line, I *finally* got to meet Megan/Minklet/Lapushka here in NYC. For those of you who don't know her, she's my TIB moderator extraordinaire as well as the most incredible artist and customizer. She came to town to help me on a super secret Blythe project that will be unveiled in the next few months. Though I can't spill the beans just yet, I can give you a sneak peak of us at work:



You can't tell from the photo but it was about 10 degrees out. That's me crouched on the floor and Megan up above. It really was a blast.

See you there! xxx

Name: Blythe

ブライスは、1972年にアメリカ・Kenner社で一年間のみ 制作販売された幻の人形です（通称"ヴィンテージ"とよばれてい ます）。
グレープフルーツ並みの大きな頭、華奢なボディ、時折見せる憂い をおびたセクシーな表情、そして、ピンク・ブルー・グリーン・オ レンジと4色に変わる大きな瞳。ひとつの顔なのに、なぜか見る度 に違う表情で語りかけてくるようなドール、それがブライスです。

私 達、CWCは、ブライスのアジアでのエージェントであり、版権 を管理しています。また、ブライスに関する様々なプロデュースも 行っております。ブライスがはじめて日本のメディアに登場するこ とになった、パルコ2000年クリスマスキャンペーンのTVCM もCWCでプロデュースしたものです。そのCFがきっかけとなり 、ブライスは多くの反響を呼び、日本で復刻版を発売しようと企画 がすすめられました。
そ して、2001年6月に、CWCのプロデュースのもと、ハスブ ロ社の許可を受け株式会社タカラ（現株式会社タカラトミー）の製 造・販売により、復刻版のネオブライス第1弾が発売されました。 その後、ネオブライスの小さいバージョンである愛らしいプチブラ イスも登場しました。また2005年にはブライスのフィギュアバ ージョンであるブライスベルも発売されました。
定期的にファッション、ヘアカ ラーなどが違う様々なブライスドー ルが発売されていますが、2006年春現在、60種を超えるネオ ブライス、100種を超えるプチブライスが発売されています。今 や、日本だけではなく世界の人気ファッションドールとして多くの 人々の心をとらえています。

Manufactured by Kenner in 1972, the original Blythe (now known as "vintage") was produced for only one year and then was retired because of poor sales.
For 28 years, Blythe was a curiosity that only doll collectors were interested in.
Then, in late 2000, she made her comeback in Japan when CWC produced a charming TV commercial for Parco department store starring Blythe. After the TV spotlight she became an overnight sensation in Japan and Asia. In June 2001, to meet the popular demand of this new Blythe fanbase, CWC produced an 11 inch neo-Blythe doll, Parco Limited Edition, with the permission of Hasbro and the manufacturing help of Takara. Since that launch, 82 and still counting! editions of neo-Blythe dolls have been produced.

Welcome message!

hi everyone! it is very nice meeting you here, which means we have common interest...."BLYTHE".
You know the world is so huge, it is not easy to have the chance to meet with someone who has same interest as you! But here we go, we are meeting here and share things which make us laugh and happy!

I think Blythe is not the most pretty Doll in the world, but she has her own character and identity, and that is very important to me. I remember when I was in Tokyo, I was hoping I am the Blythe Shop owner, If I can ever own a Blythe Shop that will be very nice and happy!

When I passed the shops do sell Blythe Dolls, I wish I can buy them home!

The reality is, Blythe is not cheap! and I can't buy them all, and I can't travel to all the Blythe shop around the world! so I create this group and hope we can share Blythe with others around the world! and it will be so nice to see and know what did you get for your own Blythe collection!

Lets share!

Kenner's Blythe Doll Takes on New Life in Japan

Girls of a certain age may remember playing with Blythe, a big-headed doll introduced by American toy company Kenner in 1972. A generation later, Blythe has taken on a new life in far-off Japan. Blythe's most devoted Japanese fans hold her in such deep esteem, one might liken it to mania!

Got an original Kenner Blythe stashed away in your attic or basement? Well, you may be shocked to know how valuable she is today to legions of Japanese fans.

An original in excellent condition can sell for thousands of dollars, and there is a thriving online marketplace for Blythe parts, clothes, even mohair used by fans to make Blythe wigs! How do I know this? My wife has two Takara (Japanese) Blythes and a small “Petit Blythe” in Gothic Lolita regalia who rests on a small inflatable sofa in our living room cabinet. Sweet!
