Monster High 2012

Ghouls Rule Clawdeen and Cleo DeNile

So I guess I will never really be done collecting Monster High Dolls. They keep coming out with these amazing lines! I was looking at someone's MH photos on flickr last night which led to my discovery of "Ghouls Rule" Clawdeen and Cleo Denile and the "Roller Maze" line! Holy sh*t! "Ghouls Rule" Clawdeen is THE BOMB! She's just amazing! And I already know I'm getting "Roller Maze" Lagoona! She's my favorite of the bunch! I'm not going to mention the total this brings my MH collection to but umm, I think it may be time for a group shot. LOL!

Bee Girl!

Monster High Bee Insect is here! As part of the Create a Monster Accessory pack however, the rest of her unfortunately will not arrive until later.  LOL!

These bee glasses are a huge hit. I want a pair for myself!

Monster High Invasion

Let me just say that I never hung out with the Goths in college or anything and I'm not into emo or horror. So I'm not quite sure though, why I've developed such a thing for the Monster High line but it's clearly becoming more of a thing for me than I thought it would. I guess it doesn't hurt that I do have quite a significant love and fascination for "True Blood" "Vampire Diaries" (Yes, I admitted it) and Vampire lore in general. LOL!!

I now have six MH Dolls from both the "Dawn of The Dance" and "Gloom Beach" line and I am waiting with baited breath for the "Schools Out" versions of Cleo Clawdeen and Frankie although I'm hesitant to get another Frankie because I just feel like no one can compete with my Frankie Stein. She's the first MH doll I ever bought and I just love her so much. The recent addition is "Dawn of the Dance" Clawdeen (my second one)and she is just...all kinds of stunning! I guess I just really like their proud freakiness! LOL!! I also got my first MH male doll, Holt Hyde just before her. Umm, I couldn't resist that fiery hair! I'm coming to realize that I really like that cartoony fantasy colored hair. It was her green hair that initially turned me off of DOTD Clawdeen when I first saw her but as usual, someone's flickr pics of her turned me right around and I knew she was something special. I would love a fantasy hair colored Blythe one day soon as well. I'll probably just customize one of my own. I need to finish what I've started before I can move on to that. But this is just kind of a warning that my MH collection will be increasing this summer, a lot.

HAPPY EASTER!

Hope everyone is having a Happy Easter Sunday. I woke up only about an hour or so ago because I was up until 3:00am this morning. Don't ask. I'm pretty excited that it's sunny out and not rainy like the forecast predicted. I regret that I'm not able to make to the Blythe Meet at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden today for the Cherry Blossom Festival. I can't wait to see pictures. I'm definitely going there on my own sometime in may. I was born in Brooklyn and practically raised in that Garden. It's a very dear and beautiful place for me. I'm so glad they're getting this unexpected great weather!

So! I have to admit, I'd been waiting for a bit to see what Melly Kay would do with the AA bait Blythe I made for her. And finally a few weeks ago she posted some pics of her and I nearly fell over! I was so happy to see her! Her name is JJ Evans, names after Melly's fave character on the show "Good Times!" I am so thrilled at the way she's styled her! She is so good at this! I just adore her and am so happy to see her on that side of the computer screen, all loved on and special.

In other news, my "Dawn of The Dance" Cleo De Nile arrived when I came back from Spring Break vacation last week and I jist love her! I bought her on ebay "loose", which means that she came in mint condition with all her accessories but without the box which is just fine for me because I hate untying and untwisting all the wires and stuff. She's built like Frankie Stein which is to say that for some reason she's sturdier, and her body is just a better quality of plastic. I'm not sure why that is but I'm happy about it. I love "Gloom Beach" Cleo and Clawdeen but they're so much more fragile and floppy for some reason. I don't see why they don't just make them all the same.

I've also given Casteneda some eyelashes and a set of slate grey eye chips which I think look really great on her. I'm thinking she needs one more pair before I start to close her up. I also need a replacement body for her since the spray job on her Blybe body just did not turn out well at all. Despite having a harder, smoother body that the licca or Takara bodies, her legs are still super sticky. I'm torn between getting her a pure Neemo body, which I've heard conflicting things about or just getting another Basaak Blybe and using that body. We shall see. I also have a couple of new pull rings  on the way for Castaneda and my Hollywood Blythe, Whithey. I'm excited about getting some alphabet beads so I can customize them with names and stuff because every time I look at the one Melly did for Hamsa, I'm just so inspired. I love it so much.

Well until next time, enjoy the Cadbury eggs, crazy hats, beautiful weather and whatever else you can think of today!

New Monster High Doll Wear!

 I wish to God that my Nikon camera was not in the shop (sniff sniff) so that I could more accurately capture how beautiful these clothes are! They are durable, elegant, sweet and sexy and made with the perfect material for the Monster High Doll mold which is ideally something stretchy that can be slipped on to their thin limbs easily but which when on, appears to look much more complex or refined than you might find in a Target or Toys R Us.  One might gather from the thin and simple shape of MH bodies that they are easy to design and sew for, and maybe they are once you get the hang of it but I have a hunch it's probably more difficult than one might imagine. There is still one dress, not shown here that I love but have not had the time to put on the dolls yet and another pair of amazing leggings as well. Yeah, I went to bit crazy in Francine's shop the minute her mother's designs hit the etsy market. I got three dresses and two pairs of leggings. They threw in a free matching tube top for one pair of the leggings and a pair of sheath gloves/sleeves for the white dress. I was over the moon opening them last night! I hope other MH fans catch on to this shop because they really transform the whole look of MH dolls in a wonderful way and I love that kind of creativity that takes the manufactured stock fantasy of a doll (which I often like as well) and gives it a whole new life.
