Black and White and Pink all over

HI!!  I'm so excited! My house is finally mostly unpacked!  Between moving, starting a new job and bug invasions (don't worry, we called a pest control guy and I haven't seen a bug inside since!) I've been really busy!  I found time the other day to take some pictures of Spectra, Lala and Clawd, and my B&W SS Frankie!  SO....  My Spectra pictures have been posted on DeviantArt.com for a few days now. Here are the links... Color Me Purple (my personal favorite of the group), Dancing SpectraNeon Spectra, and Spectra the Ballet Student.  I was really pleased with the outfit I put together for Spectra and I thought it looked like a ballet costume.  I posted a picture of Lala today that is really cute too! Chatting  It's part of a group of shots I did in her "house".  I have some of her and Clawd hanging out in her bedroom but I'm not done tweaking them yet.  

Here are my SS Frankie dolls!

I decided to keep the one with the best hair in the box!


As you can see the one in the box has really sleek hair.  The loose ones hair was kinda smooshed or something in the box and when I took her out I was able to fluff it and it looks way better now!


I tried to pose her like her picture at the bottom of the box!  This was the closest I could get, what do you think?


Her shoes are way cute!  The MH designers totally blow me away with all the details they are able to get onto such a simple doll!  I can't wait to see the SS Clawdeen and SS Cleo that I have heard rumors about!  They are supposed to come out in November-December in a box set like the Gloom Beach dolls!  
Kiss Kiss,
Angela

It's been awhile...

So it's been forever since I posted.  I've been really busy. I moved across town (moving sucks!) and  I got a "real" job for the first time in 9 years.  Hey, I need money to keep up with my MH addiction!  Anyway, the most exciting thing that has happened is that I won a MH contest on Twitter!!  Hooray!! I never win anything so I was super surprised and excited!  In fact, the only reason I joined Twitter was for MH contests, so it was amazing that the first one I ever entered in, I won!  What did I win, you ask?  


My own black and white Skull Shores Frankie!



So, now I have 2 Frankies, one to open and one to KIB!  

I'm still trying to decide which one to open and which one to KIB, so for now they are both still in box and I'll post with pictures when I open one.  Luckily these aren't my only new additions...


I also have Skull Shores Lagoona and Draculaura!  Did you see Skull Shores? My girls and I thought it was super cute!  So here are some close-ups of Lagoona first!


I love her makeup!  It's so vibrant!


Her shoes are cute but kinda plain.  They aren't as clever as Ghoulia's.


I think it's supposed to be a tentacle.


Wanna sip?  Her Tiki drink is super cute and angry =)


Over all I like this Lagoona, except I wish her top was more like the one on the box design.  That one looked more like 2 separate pieces, which is always better since MH clothes are hard to find! 

On to Draculaura!


Hello sailor!


I really like that she has a sailor suit on!  Her hibiscus drink is really cute but I wish it was a little scarier!


Her shoes are very sweet and Lagoona has already asked to borrow them!


Lagoona may borrow this bracelet and those earrings too!


Overall, I am slightly disappointed with this Draculaura.  Her hair was poorly executed, her bangs don't stay in their V and the wisps should be curled and be closer to her ears instead of on top of her head!  Also the concept for her outfit is cute but is more appropriate for Lagoona than Draculaura.  The Lolli-Goth styles she is usually in suit her more!

Kiss Kiss,
Angela
