{"product_id":"this-is-blythe","title":"This Is Blythe","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\"Gina Garan is a new master in a world where dolls rule. Her hypnotic photography, exotic locations, and styling seduce the eyes to orgasmic highs. If you've ever loved a doll, had a doll, seen a doll, been a doll, or been to a mall, this book is for you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e—David La Chapelle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBlythe was produced for just one year, 1972. As you can see, her most distinguishing feature is her abnormally large head. I think her quirky looks may have had something to do with the fact that she wasn't extremely popular with children. Blythe also has a string on the back of her head that, when pulled, changes the direction and color of her eyes, from blue to orange to green to pink. Blythe's original fashions-twelve in all—included outfits such as \"Golden Goddess,\" \"Kozy Kape,\" \"Pretty Paisley,\" and \"Medieval Mood,\" in addition to four natural hair colors and four fruit-colored wigs (lime, blueberry, lemon, and strawberry).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe possibilities for photographing Blythe are end-less, but just as she is my muse, she can also be my obsession. I'm constantly searching for props and clothes for her, many of which I've discovered in vintage toy shops and flea markets. When the perfect outfit can't be found, I've been known to whip up a go-go outfit from a pair of glitter panty hose. I also create all of Blythe's hairstyles. A gentle pull of the string is all it takes for the finishing touch, and her expression changes from wholesome to mischievous without moving a muscle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShe's a nun, a hippie, a starlet, a tennis player, uptown catching a cab or downtown spacing out, prancing on the beach or telling Santa her secret Christmas wish. Blythe is every woman. No matter where her travels take her (and | take her everywhere), Blythe is at home in her environment in her own glamorous way. She's traveled all over the world, has lots of celebrity friends, and has even co-piloted a 747. I hope that you enjoy Blythe's photos for what they are, but I also hope, perhaps on a deeper level, that Blythe reminds you to embrace the rare and unique, the beautiful and the funny qualities that are the true essence of who we are.- Gina Garan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Excellent, very slight wear marks to cover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chronicle Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52748557418778,"sku":"BLYTHE-GINAGARAN-001-RARE","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/3793\/files\/garanblythe-9.jpg?v=1787841915","url":"https:\/\/villagebooks.co\/products\/this-is-blythe","provider":"Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
