Hi. Nothing personal, but you're using my icon, and I wish you wouldn't. I did not create the image, but I did crop it and make it into an icon, and I can tell it is a copy of mine rather than someone else's own work because it is slightly unevenly cropped in the same way that mine is (there is more disco ball on one side than the other). Please find a different icon to use. If you need help finding one, my friend rachel makes a ton - she has an icon site that you can go to - and would probably be happy to make one for you. just not my blythe doll icon, please - it has been my default icon since i started on LJ in early september 2000, and it's really not nice to steal other ppl's icons. thanks!

[note to everyone else: this irritates me.]

Ugh! That pisses me off too.

But I'd be happy to make them one, haha!

How lame.

Have you seen the latest Sony ads, using Blythe to advertise their Network Walkman? Kinda cute.

[verbminx.livejournal.com]

oh, no, i haven't! how cute! are they europe-only?

this photo is from the book by gina garan. which i have. but i also have a blonde blythe doll. maybe i'll end up using some of the pictures i took of her.

Ugh! That is so not cool! I hope that person removes your icon soon! (I checked earlier and it was still there...)

I'm glad you found out who it was!

I'm still sorry I didn't write down the name when I saw it a while back. Grrrrrrr. That's really really lame. Btw, speaking of Blythe, check out THIs!!!!!

holy cow! cool, but what a rip-off of Blythe! instead of saying "oh, we designed the head to be larger to facilitate play," why don't they just admit that they wanted to do a Blythe update? If it's been long enough since the original was out that they feel they can rip off the design, why not just admit it's at least a "tribute"?

in other news, i want that porcelain guinevere doll from Franklin Mint. *swoon*
I know you don't like porcelains. but she is really really yummy.

They may have gotten the rights to the molds or something but not the name. Kind of like the seriously ripped-off-Dawn Starr dolls of the mid-90s.

I love that Guinevere doll. She's purdy! :)

Seeing your picture on her journal is strangely disturbing, in a FACE/OFF or even SINGLE WHITE FEMALE kind of way. Do you think she's insane, or just lacks any internal measure of taste?

[verbminx.livejournal.com]

LOL... no, no, nothing like that. There are several innocuous ways this could have happened. It's only a minor irritation... I don't think we even really move in the same circles at all. It is totally surreal to see it there! 'Cause I'm so used to seeing it with my own stuff. hehe.

having flashbacks of mr scary baby head.

[hilarykay.livejournal.com]

Here I was, just innocently reading your journal and now I have found myself in the middle of a DOLL CHAT! NOOOO! where's the door??

::runs far from dolls:::

[hilarykay.livejournal.com]

the doll you have in your icon really looks human in a way-- I can easily imagine it coming to life, its eyes becoming real... :;scared:::

[verbminx.livejournal.com]

well, not REALLY really if you could see the whole doll. Her head is the size of a normal baby doll's, but her body is smaller than Teen Skipper's, hehe. She does kind of resemble me... and I really like her. Some ppl think Blythe is creepy but I think she's beautiful. :)

Re:

[hilarykay.livejournal.com]

last time I checked you didnt look like her.. actually I do get what you mean because you do have the china doll type eyes...in fact I think I told u that after seeing your pic. cute on a person but scary on a doll.
