REVIEW: Mad For Plaid Fashion Pack


Hello, friends of Clawdeens Photoblog!





Some weeks ago, Clawdeen decided that not just Cleo, but us others too could do some of the weekly blogspots, especially when there are things sonebody has to tell or to show.

And yes, today its on me, Frankie, to do one.

Voltageous!

While I am, as you can see, helping doing some christmas decoration in our home, I still have time to show you the last not reviewed fashion pack and, after its done, tell you something electrifying!

Okay, Fashion Pack first.


After last weeks review and the ones before, after I am doing todays blogspot and the blogheader, you may easily know which one it is:




It's the 
MAD FOR PLAID 
Fashion Pack


ITs very cute and I really love it, but before you think of buying it, you nevertheless might have a little glance on this review.

Why do I say this? Well... 
Sadly not everything fits just fine.






But first:

When you open your pack, this is what you will get:

A skirt and a shirt instead of a dress, sunglasses, shoes, a handbag and one more accessorie, in this case a necklace.





I couldn't wait to try it on, and here it is.

Over all - doesn't it look creeperiffic?





First - the handbag.

ITs a cute purse or cluth with a handle that has studs.
It has some cute details and its blue, but cannot be opened.

Sorry, picture is blurry again... but maybe you can see the details better on the two pictures before.
You just need to click on the pictures to make them bigger.





The glasses are yellow and have bolt design.
These shades are the same as on my Scaris self.





But sadly, it doesn't fit too well when I pull it up onto my head anymore.

It better fits my old selves.





Next axessorie is the necklace. Its a necklace out of some chains with pyramide shaped studs, its silver and I totally love it, but... again...





...it doesn't really fit, sadly!

As you can see on this picture, the neclace sticks out and doesn't lie on my breast as it should.





Well, here is the main part of the pack:

T-Shirt and skirt.

The shirt is white with black scullette print, and its just perfect!

The skirt has a plaid pattern, a pink belt and some straps.

And those straps, as you can see on this picture as well as on the ones before, are sewn too big.

They slide downwards, and you have several possibilitys:
Accept that the skirt doesn't really fit, sew them a bit shorter, letting them just hanging down or... not to buy this pack.

Its your desicion.

The rest just fits fine.





Well, and here are the silver shoes.

They just fit fine and they are really cute, and I love the marble effect of the material on them.

Maybe at least those could become my most beloved pair of shoes! 





Here is a picture of all the Fashion packs we got.

From the left to the right:

me, Frankie Stein, wearing "Mad For Plaid", Cleo deNile wearing "Shriek Chic", Draculaura wearing "Ghoul Glam" and Clawdeen Wolf in "Spooky Sweet".

Which one is your favourite?




Okay.

We are now at the end of todays blogspot.

And I promised you to tell you a surprise.

Since Calaminthe bought all four fashion packs as a lot but had bought one of them before as a single, we have one spare.
Its the one Draculaura wears, "Ghoul Glam".

This fashion pack really fits (at least the one she is wearing), and she now has one that itsn't opened.
This is why we decided to give it away to one of you, if you want it.

The giveaway will be next week, so make sure you don't miss the blogspot.

For today, there is nothing more to be told.



Beast time to say goodbye and to wish a

voltageous weekend and a creeperific week!




💙💋💙

REVIEW: Spooky Sweet Fashion Pack


Hello Blogmonsters,


Welcome to another blogspot at Clawdeens Photoblog!

Today with me again, Clawdeen.

As Cleo told you already last week, we have a lot of Reviews to post, and this will be the main thing in the next two weeks.
Which doesn't mean, I don't know what else to do.

Its just - at the moment there is not much brand boo Monster high stuff in the stores, but instead the older dolls and things there get low in price. A good chance to bring some home.

But I already finished two scary cute party outfits for my friend and also two christmas dresses.
This mourning, Calaminthe will walk into town with me and look what else we can find.

I need press buttons mainly, but maybe we also can find new clawsome fabrics or other cute accessories, or maybe, who knows, more dolls...

One never knows.

Well.

As you can read in the blog header, today is all about another Monster High Fashion Pack, this time its one that looks fangtastic on myself, the





SPOOKY SWEET 
Fashion Pack


Like the already reviewed FPs,
the SHRIEK CHIC FP and the GHOUL GLAM FP (sorry to post the wrone link instead last week, hopefully this time they both work), it is sold in a clear plastic bag with black scullette hangar and pinned on a cardboard background.





And like in the other packs, in the SPOOKY SWEET one you will find a dress, a handbag, a pair of shoes, shades and one more accessorie.





I really think it looks clawsome and is so totally me!

This time, everything perfectly fits.





First, the accessories.

I got a little golden collar with zipper detail, one that I often like to wear. I love golden accessories very much, and zippers and collars are signature pieces for me, so - perfect!

On my head, I am wearing my new shades.

Those of the SHRIEK CHIC fp for Cleo didn't fit too well on her new body, but mine does, as you can see.





The shades are black and have a neutral shape - they would look great on any other ghoul as well.
TOTALLY love them!





My handbag is a cluth, golden like the collar, with a little handle that has claw details and zipper details as well on the clutch itself. 
It can not be opened.






The dress itself has a very classic cut, is purple with black and green zipper pattern and has short, black mesh shoulders.
Its a simple dress, but look really great when on your doll.

The back of the dress - this lateley isn't a usual thing for Mattel doll dresses - has the same pattern as the front, gladly, and is closed with a black velcro.





Last but not least here are the lime green shoes.

They are very sporty and I know I have seen this mold before... maybe on something Ghoulia has?
Nevertheless, this is a creepy cool shoe and I am glad I have this pair.

It will perfectly match many of my self made outfits as well.




Well, we are at the end of todays blogspot now.

I would really like to know what you think of these Fashion Packs or Fashion Packs at all.

Would you love to see more in the stores, or do you prefer buying clothes together with a doll?

What do you think of this fp?

Which one of all those that had been avalable since the beginning of MH is your favourite one?

I'd love to know.


Next week, its time to review the last one of those we have.



It is called MAD FOR PLAID and looks the biest on Frankie Stein. 

Before you buy it, make sure you have seen a review, it really is worth a look.


And now it is time to say goodbye.



Have a clawsome weekend and a fangtastic week,


💜💚💜

REVIEWS: Dessert Ghouls Cleo deNile and Shriek Chic Fashion Pack Plus Some Outdoor Pictures


Hello Ghouls and Mansters,





Here is Cleo deNile with the weekly blogspot, and this will be a long one, and all about myself.

First: as you can see, I changed my look again.
Yes - I love to style myself, and so I decided to change it from time to time.

This style is, for my opinion, more a summer look, and so after I did todays blogspot, I will change myself again.


Also, I have a Fashion Pack Review for you.
Or, if we like to call them: Maul Fashion, because they are bought in shops and not self made.


And last but not least, I want to show you some nice nature pictues Calaminthe shot on a walk a week ago.




But lets start with the doll review first. Here we go.

Meet myself as:


"Sweet Treat", "Sweet Fear" or, like most of people call this line:

DESSERT GHOULS CLEO DE NILE


Calaminthes beastie Jianne found me for a low price at Galeria Kaufhof, as you can see on the box.

The box itself is small, mainly cardboard with a plastic window at the front.
You can see an artwork of new Basic Frankie, Draculaura and Clawdeen, the Monster High Logo and, under the artwork, a banner with my very own skullette and name.





Here is a look at one side and the back of the box. You see, the black has a spider web design.

At the side you can find my name again, a yellow diamond and wrapped heart design and again the logo of MH.

And at the back you'll find a cute little picture of myself and some infearmation next to it that tells you that I am the dauhter of mummies in several languages.





Under that, you will find photos of the other two ghouls that are part of the Dessert Ghouls line, Catrine deMew and Ari Hauntington.

Sorry that the close-up of Ari is completeley overexposed.

Oh yes, and under this picture you will find the usual infearmation at the boxes bottom.





Kindly, you can open the box at the top and pull out the display together with your doll of choice in this line, which means, if you want to, you can save her back in the box after you played, if you like.

The background display shows a coffin shape with stripes, in my case black and yellow, in front of a colourful background that has the design of the dress I am wearing.

As you already may have guessed - no stand, no brush, no diary or else, but this is a Budget Doll Line and I am fine with it.




Budget line also means that you cannot move my ellbows and knees, but I think this looks great when you just want to pose me in a shelf.

If you want to play with me: you can move my head, arms and legs.





On this close-up of my face you can see the nice dessert themed fascinator or crown on a headband I am wearing.

It is mainly golden with turquise and shows a cupcake that has sprinkles, eyes at the front and a crown on top.

I am not wearing much make-up, just my usual khajal, some light silver eyeshadow and pink lipstick.





From the side, you can see that the cupkake is just half molded.

My hairdo is a ponytail high on the back of my head, mainly black with just one turquise streak and without bangs.

I really like this style, it makes me look the sophisticated mummy princess I am, don't you think?





The dress I am wearing is mainly turquise with a pattern of treats, like the crowned cupcake, mummy wrapped candy, cones and else.

It has red ruffle at the bottom and at the top, red bordering and two crossed straps that end in a collar at my neck.





Well, and here are my cute shoes. They are closed at the front and have two straps at the front and long ones from the ancle, wrapped along my legs and, at the top, end with little bows. I really like them.



Well, this is all I can tell you about this look, so I will go on to the next point of todays blogspot:





The fashion pack.

Calaminthe was able to grab a lot of four on amazon.

She already had the one on the left, which is totally designed for Draculaura.

That fashion pack is called "Ghoul Glam" (yes, they have names!) and is already reviewed in this blogspot.





Today we will have a closer look at this one.

It is pinned on a background and sold in a plastic bag with a black scullette hangar.

And it has a name too. IT is called:

SHRIEK CHIC Fashion Pack.




Here is everything you will find in the pack.
Each pack has clothing, sunglasses, a handbag, an accessorie and a pair of shoes.





And - tadaaa! look how bootiful it looks like when I wear it.

You can, as you see, pull it on to your less articulated MH budget dolls and it really looks creepy cool.





Here is the scarlet red handbag with has an ancient egypt style and a snake shaped handle.
It can not be opened, and it is very difficult for me to hold it in my stiff hands.




But you can pull it up to my shoulders instead.





The main part of the Shriek Chic fp sure is the yellow and black mummywrap-pattern dress.

It is very classic, and it has a mesh part at the top.

Be careful when pulling it over your dolls fingers:
The fingers can easily tangle in the black mesh material!

The unique accessorie in this fashion pack is a golden belt that has three rows of beads. I really like it.




The dress velcros in the back, but it is so tight that it really, really was hard to close it.

It may fit better on the old MH dolls then on the rebooted ones, but I think it also might be a factory incident.

Well, at the end I did manage to close it.





Here are the pair of golden shoes coming with this fashion pack.

They have pyramid shaped heels and mummy wrap design as well, and they have the same mold as those of "I love Fashion" and "Ghouls Rule" Cleo deNile.

Doesn't matter - I think they totally match my style.





Here are my sunglasses. I know this shape has been used on older Cleo dolls as well, one of them is "I love Shoes" Cleo.

This time they are red.





I don't know why - maybe the reboot dolls have bigger heas then our older selfs, the glasses can't be placed on top of the head anymore, they are too small, sadly.


Now to todays last blogspot part:

The outdoor pictures.













They all have been taken last Saturday when I walked along our lake, the Biggesee.

It was a sunny, but late afternoon and the sun already went down.

I hope you like the pictures. They had been made here.

There is a Youth Hostel very closeley.



Well, I hope you enjoyed my blogspot today.

Next week, Clawdeen told me, will be another review, I think its on of the other fashion packs maybe.

So if you are curious, please come back and have a look.


For today, as you may have guessed, we are at the end.


Have a majestic weekend and a royal week.

Bye for now, says



💝💖💝

At Last: Rest Of Fall Fashion 2017


Hello Blogmonsters,





Here is Clawdeen Wolf with the latest blogspot.

This picture of me was taken two weeks ago, it was sunny, warm and golden October.
Meanwhile, most of the leafs on the trees have fallen to the ground, Halloween is over, and we begin thinking of christmas.

Its more then about time that I show you the last bunch of fall outfits for this season.

From next week on, there will be a lot of reviews, I guess.

Two more Cleos and one Honey you can look forward two, three fashion packs and three Minis.
So far. Who knows what else we can find before christmas.

I now started making a few new party outfits, I planned ten, but hopefully I will have time for five before I begin doing some new christmas dresses for the ghouls.

Maybe I will spare out the crochet christmas series. They are all the same each year, just different colours, and it begins to bore me making more.
Maybe I'll do nevertheless, if I have enough time left over.

Maybe not. There is enough stuff to sew in winter. Party fashion, Gala dresses, winter fashion and maybe sleep wear.

This means: Enough stuff to do in winter, and enough to blog about.

Okay, after you now know my near future plans, I don't let you wait any longer.

Here are the last five fall fashions for 2017:






First one is a combo for Catrine de Mew. This werecats second fall outfit ever is a very classic one, but I thought it would be perfect for our Scaris artist ghoul: a black and white striped roll-neck pullover together with blue bell-bottom jeans.

On her head she wears a simple purple headband, made from purple yarn wrapped around wire.





For Cleo I made a blue blouse this year with golden sprinkle pattern and fake golden button border and with a golden collar. 

She wears it together with a sand coloured pencil skirt and has golden leaf earrings as accessories.





Draculaura got a striped pullover as well. Hers is pink striped, has no collar, instead it is longer then Catrines and has a sewed-on belt.

Her pants are slim and from dark purple rubber material.

She also has a pair of leaf earrings, hers are pink.





After my sister Howleen gave away her old fall pullover and crochet skirt, I had to make a new combination for her.

I know she likes it colourful, and so I made a very colourful striped dress for her to wear over an ink blue roll-neck pullover.





Lagoona also got her second fall fashion this year.

Usually I prefer to use flower prints for my spring collection, but this fabric was darker in colours and also, prints like this are trendy this season.

I made a tunique from it with wide sleeves so Lagoonas fins fit under and combined it with bell bottom pants, made from T-Shirt material. Her fins fit under there also, but it looks much better without.





Here is the group shot of all of the outfits.

From the left to the right once more:

Draculaura, Lagoona Blue, Howleen Wolf, Catrine de Mew and Cleo deNile.




I hope you liked them.


Well, we are at the end of this weeks blogspot.

Next week, I defineteley will start reviewing some of the brand boo stuff we got.


Time to say goodbye.


I wish a fangtastic Sunday and a clawsome week,


💜💚💜

Clawdeen Wolf
