Her lovely "Last Kiss" Neo Blythe is Miss Popularity of Singapore. Photo taken by Cynthia Bi She had this to say about her Blythe outfit which she design and sewed herself: "I design the outfit with in mind of the theme 'Wonder World'. I wanted to create a feeling of fantasy thats how the design of the outfit came about.I chose the colour and the material of the outfit to match the Blythe doll, last kiss. Last kiss has the ability to bring out the feeling of fairyland. It took me 10 days to complete the design, starting from choosing the material to the completion of the outfit. I felt great and excited about the tea party that day. It was a nice one and everyone could exchange pointers about their Blythe dolls. I got to see many different dolls with different outfits and Freddy and Andy's customized Blythe dolls." - Cynthia Bi We would like to thank all of the wonderful Blythe fans for coming from all around Asia to Singapore for this event.
