It is 101° F here today

We had a bubble fight, made fruit cubes and recorded 3 episodes of Gideon's Show. It's tricky keeping busy while neither spending money nor being outside for too long, but heat wave, you have not defeated me yet.


In other news, I like dollies.

I continue to love Lemon. For some reason, I want her to have an endless wardrobe while most of my dolls have to fight over the few nothings I've made them. She stole this darling Alice dress out of Carrie's things while her Lati girls visit. It was made by [livejournal.com profile] 1olly  and fills me with squee. (She'll be reprimanded, Carrie.) Surreptitiously, those Lati girls were here to model clothes for me so the plan has been to sew for that size all along.

I sort of want to paint her as a Calavera. Did anyone see that coming?

Also, she is the new American Apparel model.

And I got my Monster High girls! (They're on sale at Toys R' Us right now.) I love them. I mean, for $16, I'm used to getting, what? The sleeve of something? It was sort of a sure thing that they would make me happy. They are candy-colored monster dolls, after all.

I've dyed and permed Lagoona's hair and I might repaint her lips (and maaaaybe remove her eyebrows?) I don't really want to change them too much, though I might also change Draculaura's lips and brows. (Really, I think I just want to de-glitter the two of them.) I need to dress them and I think they may need matching school uniforms.

Oh man. I would love to see Melancholy Kitties fashions for these girls.

They're tricky and tiny! I hope to have time to try soon.

Ooo, those monster dollies are pretty! Especially the blue one. I haven't seen the show, but now I want them :p They have such nice hands!

Did you get the message I left on your answering machine last week? I was traveling past to get some buttons and tea so I thought I'd try to drop off your books. No problem though, I should be back that way before too long. I noticed there's a shop on Fabric Row that seems to sell mostly ribbon & trim, possibly new? I haven't seen it before, anyway.

There isn't a show! It seems there will be a live action musical movie? Or something? And there are animated webisodes. They do have nice hands. their hands and forearms pull out to allow for easier dressing too.

No! I didn't! We were away most of last week! Sorry! We'll have to plan something.

WOW! She looks so CUTE ... I gotta get me one of those dollies.
Will cck out my Toys R Us for the Monster High Crew, do any of their fashions fit the LaTis?

Their chest is about the same as Latis, I tried a dress on one and it became a top. Their hips are bigger and they have one heck of a sway back, so some pieces might work, but not whole dresses.

Yeah. Pink vampire with the bat named Count Fabulous dressed in a girlie sweater sort of screams you.

SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!

I didn't realize that Draculaura was quite so PINK from the promo pics -- I'm glad I found out! (May still get her, I think she's adorable, but I wouldn't have wanted it to be a surprise, y'know?)

I <3 Frankie and Clawdette [for obvious reasons] to a ridiculous extent, and I'm still tempted by Draculaura . . . oh, what to do? You just HAD to tell me they were on sale, you evil temptress! ;)

If you're going to make clothes for them, COUNT ME IN!!

*MWAH!*

Yes! She's totally pink, which I didn't know either! I actually got her for that reason, since I like how they look together. You need Clawdette. :) (I want to get the next version of her (http://shop.mattel.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3812291&cp=3812272&s=A-NewArrivals-MAT), to go with my color fixation!)

They each have unique headsculpts, which I am very impressed by. Draculaura has pointy ears and Lagoona has fin-ears!

(Must sew!)
ashbet: (Innocent!)

I caved last night and bought the three girls as retail therapy ;)

(Hey, I have to go through a stressful procedure today, I DESERVE TOYS, LOL!)

The next version? The ragdoll? *confused* I'm only seeing the original Monster High releases, am I missing something?

You SO deserve toys! (Also, I sincerely hope all goes well for you -- I'll be thinking of you today)

Weird! They pulled them! these three (http://www.flickr.com/photos/40103503@N03/4593762879/) were up for sale on the Mattel site yesterday -- I guess it was a mistake?

ashbet: (Rawk!)

[personal profile] ashbet 2010-07-07 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, weird!!!

I wish they sold original-version Cleo without the boy doll . . . booooo. I love her, but he's not to my taste.

Clawdeen (although I think I'll call her Clawdette, I like my version better, LOL) is just so damn cute -- and I adore her skintone!

-- A <3

[identity profile] kittytoes.livejournal.com 2010-07-07 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm hoping they come up with better boys. I'm okay with the bobbed version, but I like the original outfit. :(

Oh hey! Are Clawdeen's ears part of her head mold?
ashbet: (Doll)

[personal profile] ashbet 2010-07-07 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know yet -- I ordered her off the site. I'll let you know! :D

(She'll probably arrive while I'm in TX, so I'll have to check when I get back.)

*mwah!*

I was in the kitchen and Mat was in the living room, on my computer:

Mat: Haha!
Me: What?
Mat: Top 50 sluttiest American Apparel ads
Me: Oh, haha yeah, I thought that was appropriate.

Me: You're still looking at that link, aren't you?

I've been looking to buy the Monster High ladies myself- do you know if they fit into clothes from any other dolls yet?

[identity profile] kittytoes.livejournal.com 2010-07-08 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems the best fit is Bratz stuff ,actually, because they have such small torsos with wider hips. They are just taller. Shoes have been tricky.
