☆ After thinking about it long and hard (about a day) I decided to switch my Substack into a Substack for my Blythe doll obsession! I realized that as much as I wanted to start a Substack it lacked direction and I never knew what to post. Part of me has felt like I have to hold myself back from discussing Blythe-related things because I didn’t want to come off as a crazy doll lady but not anymore! I’m leaning full tilt into the doll craze! I renamed my new Substack to Mooey&May after my Blythestagram because I didn’t know what else to call it. I have lost a few subscribers due to this change but I expected this to happen. Thankfully, my Blythe doll friends have been so supportive!
★ Winter Café ☕️🎄 ACNH BGM
☆ I reached 500 subscribers on my YouTube channel! I started 2024 with around 400 subscribers and it was one of my goals last year to post regularly on my YouTuber and I’m happy to report that I did! I even experiented with posting YouTube shorts, which as of lately have been what’s driven more subscribers to my channel. If you’re worried about the TikTok ban I would urge you to give YouTube shorts a try. You never know what could happen! Two of my shorts that I posted last month have reached over 1k views!
★ Junie Moon Celebrating 20th Anniversary interview with Junko Wong
☆ This week, I wrote 5 (well including this one, it’s 6!) blog posts! Thankfully, I’m very good about planning out my content in advance and had most of these posts written and ready to go! Sometimes I wonder how I manage to get so much content done. By the way, if you ever want to support me you can leave me a tip via Kofi here.
★ I woke up to not a sheet but a blanket of snow! It was a winter wonderland out there! As a Chicago native, I grew up with snow and love it so much, Lucy loves it too! I haven’t seen snow since I lived in South Korea so it was a nice surprise to wake up to! My local news did warn us of a winter storm but I live in Georgia and they think a small flurry is a concern so I never take them seriously when it comes to winter weather. Snow gives off such magical vibes so I was happy to see it!

I’m so proud of you for going with your gut and switching your Substack to what makes you happy! Not a dolls person myself, but your content is so detailed and creative – always happy to read along.
I know dolls aren’t for everyone and if you were to tell me a year ago that I would be obsessed with these dolls, I wouldn’t believe you! haha
I completely understand people leaving (I’ve already lost a few subs) but Blythe dolls have been bringing me so much happiness lately and the community is the sweetest! Thank you for reading my posts even though it’s not your thing. ♥
