I participated in Blythe Anniversary event as a designer from BABY, The Stars Shine Bright and that was the first time I met Blythe. When I saw the nude doll with hair and make up arranged wearing BABY’s cloth and transformed in to such a cute girl, I was surprised like my eyes could roll 4 rounds too. Q2: What do you love about Blythe? I really love her face balance and 4 colors changeable eyes. I love Blythe because she is Blythe. Q3: After we decided to create a collaboration doll together, what kind of Blythe that you had in mind you wanted to create? I want to create a Blythe doll that is totally different from ones those were made before. I want her to look great in every type of clothes, easy to arrange her hair, playable and very stylish like she can appear in any fashion magazines or fashion images. Q4: What personality that Margo Unique Girl has? I am sure she is a very good girl. She always thinks outside the box but she always chooses the right choices. My custom dolls always have a bit of naughty girl look, but they all are very good girls. Q5: Please tell us about Margo Unique Girl’s fashion sense. Margo’s one-piece has motif like a circus tent. I chose her knitted tights, socks and pink pants assembled carefully. She has all of my favorite colors; black, red, blue and gold together in great combination. Q6: Can you tell us more about parts of her fashion that you particularly love? Her glasses are fabulous! I love Blythe girls those wearing glasses ,so I tried to make her look great with 2 types of eyeglasses. I designed her in the way that her face balance and bangs go well together when she wears glasses. That’s why she has a little bit curly short bangs. Q7: Please give us a message for all Blythe fans. Margo has a lot of unique parts that I carefully designed. I hope you love her. Please　enjoy your time playing with Margo! ]]> http://www.blythedoll.com/eng/news/2012/03/collaborators_message_from_miy.html http://www.blythedoll.com/eng/news/2012/03/collaborators_message_from_miy.html Neo Blythe Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:33:24 +0900 Junko had this comment: I select Mikan's photo for this month because she expressed LOVE so Valentine like.
