Doll Days Are Over
It’s been quite a while since I’ve shared a story with you. For today, let me re-introduce myself.
Over my years in social media, everyone knew me as @IAMTHEDOLL. It was honestly a juvenile decision when I decided to step into the blogging world. If the history behind that username still interests you, back 2004, looking extra kawaii was a big hit. I have always been a fan of Japanese fashion and beauty. Hence, I was so into Hello Kitty, colorful hair, fake nails, long lashes and 0.00 graded colored contact lenses (the ones with bigger diameter to be specific).
As I moved in Metro Manila and adulating happened, my interest grew differently. I enjoyed dressing more comfortably. Tees and sweatpants would be my go-to outfit. Hence, TWENTEEYET was born. A shirt brand that Jeff (my boyfriend) and I started.
Going back, it’s probably been 2 years now since I mulled over on whether to rebrand my identity or not.
This time, it’s for good.
The turning point. Realizing that I do not want to be remembered as @iamthedoll as I enter new chapters of life. Don’t get me wrong, @iamthedoll will always be a special memory in my life and it will always make me remember where and how I started. However, considering the future I do not think I can still live by the idea of being just a doll.
As I re-introduce my self once again, my name is RHEA BUE and I would like to be remembered by the name I was born with. I don’t just blog, I create.

Hi Rhea, nice to meet you!
I just recently started following you on Instagram. I honestly didn’t know your name. But I was interested in your feed and found you through similar bloggers/vloggers! What drew me in was the super grainy effect you use on your pictures! I’m sad to say I didn’t know you more as iamthedoll but I am excited to witness you grow and know you more through social media! ? huh?? I’m sorry for this long comment. Take care!
Your relatively brand new follower,
Nikki
