Blog Challenge #4 : What/who was the first BJD you ever owned? Do you still own them?

The first BJD I saw in real life was my first BJD (I think it's like that for quite a few people!)

I'd had Pullips for a while after falling in love with them doing a 365 Toy a day project... the more you get into the doll world the more different dolls you see. As soon as I saw the adorable Lati Yellows I knew I had to have one... but they were SOOO expensive, who would ever pay that for a doll... *cough*

I put a WTB on a flickr group and was incredibly lucky in that it was answered almost straight away, by someone with the Lati I wanted and who only lived an hours drive away! So I agreed with my husband that I could have her and went to pick her up! So I guess my first BJD I saw also came with my first BJD friend. I'm still very good friends with her and we meet up whenever we can for dolly days.

This is Milly, my first... a Lati Yellow Lami. She came home on 24 October 2008 and left in the summer of 2010, once my love for Fairyland had well and truly taken over.
