Question of the Week: Blythe’s Significant Other?
Written on November 14, 2011 at 12:00 pm by MichelleFiled under: Question of the Week
When I was little, my female dolls only had each other. I didn’t have any boy dolls at all and of my friends, I think only one of them had a boy doll (Ken, of course). And now that I have Blythe, I still don’t have any boy dolls. I feel quite okay with this, seeing as how I see them as being fairly young (at least, younger than I am). My Kenner, despite the fact that she’ll be turning 40 next year, is still young at heart. Perhaps older and more mature than the other Blythes in my family, but still not “really” forty.
So my dolls, lovely and as demanding as they may be, have no needs for a significant other (male or female). They live in a female-only doll family and seem to quite like it. Maybe it’s because boys have cooties, maybe it’s because I just don’t see Blythe as making a convincing male (that is to say, some customizers do an amazing job on their boy Blythes, but to me Blythe is just too feminine). But I know that some dolly collectors also have male dolls of other collectible toy lines and some of their Blythes have a significant other in their photostories.
Do your Blythes have a significant other? If so, what kind of doll is she/he?
Cassie had a brief fling with a Dragon WWII soldier. They are essentially barbies for men. Bobby had to ship out though, so she is a lonely spinster once more!
I do believe there is a little somethin’ somethin’ going on between two of my girls, Beatrix and Petaline.
How lovely Saffy looks in that picture!!
