I've heard a lot of talk about eraser foods and weather or not they're an appropriate accessory for Blythe. Obviously some people like them, some don't care one way or the other, and some downright hate the little buggers.
Personally I fall into the middle category, they seem cute enough, and I can easily see them working in a photo shoot. As far as lasting ability... well I've never kept any around for that long, I usually snap a few photos and then hand them over to my niece to play with. But lets face it, they are erasures. Anyone who's had to dive into the supply drawer (and you know which drawer I'm talking about.. the one filled with all the little bits and bobs we never seem able to throw out because, God help us, those things might be useful) quickly discovers what becomes of erasures after they sit around for several years. They dry into some nasty crumbly version of their former selves which have lost the ability to even do what they were intended for... erase.
But what of erasure food? Is it a good miniature for Blythe? If by miniature you mean a dainty little keepsake that you hand down to your grandchildren then heck no... not even close. But if you mean something small, cute, and dare I say fanciful (and yes you have to admit it some of them are), as well as inexpensive and easy to find, then these little guys work just fine. They can make adorable little props in photos, and (as far as photo shoots go) what they lack in lasting power they make up for in ease. Besides how many pics can you take of those miniature drinks you bought on Etsy before you get bored and put them back on the shelf to gather dust. : )
