What IS A Monster High Doll?

SILVER BLACK EVENING GOWN JEWELRY


Hi folks. 
If you don't already know, there is a craze for dolls called Monster High. What are they? Well, they are fashion dolls developed by Mattel in July of 2010: the same company who does Barbie. However, these ghouls (they prefer that term) are not anything like any other fashion doll. In fact, they're not like any other doll at all.



These dolls are:
1. Monster creations 
2. Have weird body proportions 
3. Body parts are removable and interchangeable
4. Some are dead. 

Dead? What??? Let me explain. These dolls have very large heads, long torsos, most have very slim bodies, and would be dead, if they were alive. They are dolls who have rather mystical or mythological parents. There are: vampires, witches, werewolves, dragons, ghouls, sea monsters, swamp creatures, gorgons, cats, mummies, robots, ghosts, spirits, yetis,  and a few others, with new creations coming out all the time. They are also teenagers, they date, go to school, have love problems and like to party. They have been featured in videos, music, books, make up sets, book bags, key chains and more.

The dolls also have one very interesting feature, their face makeup can be removed with acetone or fingernail polish remover leading to a whole new explosion of Customs!! Custom creations have popped up everywhere: from a simple new outfit, to a whole new face, re-rooted hair, rooted eyelashes, extra body parts or even a mixture of body parts. Helping this craze along is the "Create A Monster" sets, or CAM's for short, that let you add weird body parts such as mermaid tails, harpy arms, scale feet, dragon wings, snake hair or bony arms (I do mean 'bone-y' arms, with the bones being the only thing!). There are probably more adult collectors of these dolls than the kids they were intended for!!!

Clothes, jewelry, wigs, play-sets, furniture and all sorts of things have been made by lovers of the line to help the guys and girls look their best and have fun.  I mean, even if your mom was a mummy and your dad was Ramses the Great, is that any reason not to dress fabulously??

So, moms and dads, don't worry if your son or daughter likes monsters. It's OK. Monsters are cool and very fashionable!

I did some window shopping at Best Little Shops Online today and simply had to start a wish list of some of my fave Fab Finds. It was hard to narrow my choices down to 3 things but there's no rule against adding to a wish list later on right?

Check out this

Next on my wish list is this adorable

I can think of so many things to stuff inside this little Pixie planter and doesn't he look so snazzy and cheerful in his red outfit?
