Having never really recovered from that incident with Mca and the irretrievable Blythe doll, I recently found myself shopping the other day with his good lady of all things holistic- Nic, for the usual girlie nonsense and shoe based products in their home town of the northern shire. I was indeed on a mission for a pair of super swish cat eye sunglasses but wasn't having an
awful lot of luck as nowhere had them. As we approached a charity shop my heart suddenly lurched and I ran towards the window and to what I thought to be a much sought after 70's doll. My lurching heart sank as it
turned out to be a a really tacky Bratz variety sitting there looking like a bit of a loose maiden. But then....my eyes drifted to the left and "OMG.......LOOK....I DON'T BELIEVE IT" I yelled as I spotted the large headed, googly eyed beauty sitting there by a 'Thomas the tank engine' staring back at me from behind the glass. I launched myself through the door nearly flattening a lady who was struggling with a heavy bag of groceries and nearly knocked over a man with a walking stick too. I grabbed
the doll from the window and stood there in totally stunned disbelief as Nic came up beside me. "Well, is it?" she asked as I stood there still staring at one of the most elusive prizes that I could ever imagine finding. "Yes...Takara version, 2002....she's mine!" Now this is the really spooky bit! Nic suddenly pointed it out, I had missed the obvious thing......the oh so obvious thing. "Who does she look like, I mean look...long raven black hair, blunt cut fringe, black
fitted long sleeved top and a pair of gold pvc trousers" Nic whispered....."IT'S ME!" I replied, the similarity was uncanny, I have to say that if I had to choose one Blythe doll from a shop FULL of Blythe dolls, then this would be the one...the EXACT one. Oo there are indeed very mystic and great powers at work here....and incidentally,
I never got the cat eye sunglasses.
