Are you a Barbie or a Blythe?
I actually never had this question asked to me directly, but I've seen or heard it somewhere.
Simple answer: I feel more drawn to Blythe...the non-standard form of beauty or uniqueness

I did like my Barbies, ofcourse. They were the dolls that were easily avaiable as a young girl. However, I once got my hands on a Brunette Barbie, who was not as overtly smiley as Barbie, and I loved her the most....
She looked somewhat similar as this one...

And I respect the persons who like, admire and emulate Barbie...
But for me, Blythe is the collector's item, the girl with the melancholic eyes, the rare beauty...

The owner said that he was left over because he was the least attractive one.
Well, I hadn't seen the others, but I think he is incredibly unique and stunning...
In general, yeh, I disagree with just one standard idea of beauty, and find beauty in various Blythe-esque people too!
