| We can stand short sleeves in December -- we're all MONSTERS. |
On Thanksgiving Day, Dollar General started a Buy One, Get One 50% Off toy sale, so Nile got some friends: Dracuheather (known to her pals as D'Heath) and Howlouise. Then I made dresses for all of them, which get their close-up after the jump -- along with Big Sister/Little Sister photos with their Monster High originals.
(Where I've been for six weeks? Well, I started NaNoWriMo in fine fettle, then on November 15 came down with...
something. It consisted mostly of mind-numbing fatigue, to the point where my boss took a hard look at me and told me to go home and work from home until after Thanksgiving. So I did that. And since then, I've been catching up from two weeks of getting very little done. But I'm better now, in a confused way.)
The girls are ready for their close-ups.
 |
| Nile prefers a tailored look. She is student body treasurer. |
 |
| D'Heath is Goth, of course. |
 |
| Howlouise likes a vintage 1920s look. She's in the drama club. |
When they join their older Monster High sisters, it's clear the Goth Tales girls are in that awkward adolescent stage. D'Laura looks downright delicate compared to D'Heath.
 |
| Psssst, little sis? Maybe with some sunscreen, you wouldn't be so PINK. |
Frankie wonders why Nile is so rigid, so young. Lack of knee and elbow joints may be the reason.
 |
| Nile, when I was in your grade, I was vice-president. I don't do math! |
Clawdia and Mawdia dispute which of them Howlouise should emulate.
 |
Maudia: Howlouise, skip drama and do debate!
Claudia: Howlouise, skip drama and do 4-H! |
Meanwhile, I'm in the midst of making dresses for similarly sized vintage Bratz. The younger-sister-sized contingent is past ten in number now. How did that happen?
I hope you are feeling better. Everyone I know seems to just not be feeling well. I got wicked sick over Thanksgiving and am still not 100% Excellent doll collection!
ReplyDeleteThanks! You get well, too!
DeleteHi, I hope you will recover completely pretty soon, I've been down with a dreadful backache for 20 days and it looks like it's a period like this. Hard time for doll lovers!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the dresses you made for this girls, they are so cute, as I'm a drama lover my favourite is Howlouise, but they are all so pretty!
Oh, backache is the worse! You have my sympathy!
DeleteThanks so much. Howlouise was the challenge to dress -- she didn't want to indicate what she wanted.
You know, the problem is....once you take in a few dolls and spoil them with such lovely dresses----they tend to send for their family and friends to join them!!! And THAT'S how 1 turns into 10 in a snap!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right! Invasion...!
DeleteI should probably be relieved rather than disappointed that Goth Tales doesn't appear to include a faux Cleo or a faux Ghoulia.
These are pretty good for 'fakies.' Their dresses are very nice. Howlouise is the closest to not looking like a knockoff. So cool they can be little sisters.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Howlouise was actually the instigator... I saw her at DG last year, couldn't make up my mind... and then when they were all back this year, got Nile first because I knew I'd come back for Howlouise and whoever else was available.
DeleteFakies are ok if they are decently hair-rooted and dressed (AND the color of the head match the body). I have one: a green Clawdeen fakie that conquered my heart :D
