Monster High: Dead Tired Ghoulia

Sweet Dead Tired Ghoulia was my first Monster High doll, and she was bought from our local Citymarket almost a year ago. I pondering should I buy the baseline Ghoulia or Dead Tired version, but because DT was cheaper, I ended up with it. I also remember thinking that this will be my only doll. Yeah, right :D

Anyway, originally she had "a bit" silkier and shinier hair, but after some experiments with braiding, curling and hot water, her hair is a total mess now.

Her brainpops also happened to land in my coffee cup at some point...

I think Ghoulia is awfully pretty (haven't watched the show, so I really don't know anything about the character), and DT doll is no exception.
What I like in this doll:
- the outfit - tiny blood drops are always cute ;D
- her face - makeup is nice

What I don't like:
- My version is a bit loose limbed, but I guess that's OK because she's a zombie after all


And her cute red slippers:

Monster High: Ghouls Rule Cleo


My first Cleo was bought from Finnish store Stockmann.
I didn't really like other dolls from Ghouls Rule (Clawdeen or Frankie), so I ended to buy Cleo.

What I like in this doll:
- I like the shorter hair
- The upper part of the dress - it fits really well
- The necklace with long fabric pieces - though it doesn't always stay as I want
- Her lips, I love the golden glitters

What I don't like:
- Lower part of the dress - the turquoise metallic parts just don't look good. They won't stay put, no matter how hard  I try





And her shoes are amazing, I adore the snakes around the ankles:

Monster High: Operetta's new clothes part I


I know I still haven't posted about DDG Operetta, but I wanted to share the outfit I made for her.
The dress is originally a barbie-sized dress from Finnish store Saiturin Pörssi, and as soon as I saw this spider web -themed dress, I thought of Operetta.
I made the dress smaller, added black ribbon to the waist, and did a small scarf to add more elegance to the result.

Monster High: Sweet 1600 Frankie

Origianlly I didn't plan to buy any of Sweet 1600 dolls, but when Finnish store Citymarket had them on sale, Frankie's pretty face won me over.


 What I like in Sweet 1600 Frankie:
- Her face. I love the dark red lips and quite subtle makeup.
- Jewellery - bracelets an earrings are really cool looking, they are made to look like stitches (or zippers, like my first though was).
- Hair-do - simple, yet elegant.

What I don't like:
- The dress. First of all, it doesn't fill well (might be just my doll's problem), itäs really hard to get it to work with the stand. Second, the design of the dress. I donät really get it.  Why does it need to be puffy on the otherside, so that that the underskirt shows? 
- The bag. Horrible little thing. It's supposed to look like a lightning bolt, but it's so cheap that it looks like a handkerchief.

Her shoes are cool, they are "stiched together" from pieces:
