Do you know Blythe?

 For those not in the know Blythe is a doll manufactured in the 1970s by Kenner.  As they say--a picture is worth a thousand words.  Here is an original Blythe commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te5vHQQChRU

Wikipedia has a great Blythe page.  Check it out.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blythe

Blythe has become quite the collectible doll, in large part due to the books of Gina Garan.  Gina has a great page--http://www.thisisblythe.com .  The site also houses a great Blythe forum--http://www.thisisblythe.com/forums/index.php

But Blythe collectors are not like other collectors and Blythe isn't like other dolls.  Blythe collectors seem to be adults for the most part.  And, unlike your average mint-in-box collectors, they open the boxes, change the clothes, do custom hair and make-up, and above all they photograph, photograph, photograph.  In short they play with there dolls.
