Fall Outdoor Pictures


Hello Blogmonsters,


Another week has passed, and here is Clawdeen with another Saturday blogspot.

Well, weather was great the whole summer and most of fall too, so far, which meant, Calaminthe had a lot of time going out with the one or the other of us ghouls and make some new clawsome outdoor pictures.

I want to show some of them to you.

The above picture is number one.





As you can see on this one, she took me to an old cementry in Olpe, which never seems to be visited. Its in the middle of the town, and you really can make some nice pictures here.





Here is another one.





The other day Cleo was the one who was pictured at a walk. Here she is climbing a rock in the - also in the middle of the town - "Stadtwald", the "town wood", also called the "Gallenberg".





Here is another one. You see, this really is a little forest, no houses on the pictures, but they are close nearby.





The walk with Cleo ended in our little town park... its kind of too small to really call it a park, but there is this little pond, and there are nice possibilitys for some pictures, as you cann see here.





On another day Calaminthe went out with Draculaura, showing her one of the many woods near her home - its no act to reach them all without using a car or else.

On this picture Draculaura is resting lazily on a fallen down tree.





Here is a picture of her posing near an old treestump.





Another one, this time in front of a tiny little cave, maybe belonging to a wild animal...





And again one with Draculaura.





Here is one picture of Venus, resting on a wall under Olpes Witchtower.





Here is a picture of Frankie, also near the Witchtower, but this time on the upper side. Frankie is hanging on Olpes medieval townwall.





From there, you have a nice view over parts of our town. In the background you can see how close the woods are.





Here is another pic of Frankie from a slightly different view to focus more on the vines.





And here is Twyla. She is resting near our townhall, there is a nice little promenade one can walk.





Todasys last picture shows Twyla too, sitting on a sign explaining the nature in the brook called Olpe which gives our town its name. Maybe you can see a little bit water in the background, thats is another brook called "GΓΌnse" which meets the "Olpe" at this point.




Well, time to say goodbye for today.

I hope you liked the doll trips with Calaminthe in and near her and our hometown, Olpe.
Maybe the pictures inspired you to take your dolls on a walk and do some pictures too.

There are a million clawsome places out there that want to be explored by your own dollies.




A fangtastic weekend and a clawsome week,

REVIEW: Monstreous Rivals Draculaura


Hi all you ghouls and mansters out there!


I am Draculaura, and its review time again!

Today I want to present this look to you.

You will not get me as a single doll, because I am a part of the 




WELCOME TO THE MONSTER HIGH MONSTREOUS RIVALS BOX


See? Moanica D'Kay is part two of the double.

Here we are both still together in the box.

Here is a small review of the box.
Mainly it is pink and glittery, with the MH headline and logo at the right side, a "Welcome To The Monster High" banner and some ballons, the hint of the 2016 Boovie at one corner and some photobooth pictures of Moanica and me at the left.





At the back of the box you will find a big photo of Moanica and myself at the same festive party background, a picture of the school and a little bit story about what the DVD is about.





One side of the box is clear. At the other there are three more pictures of Moanica and myself plus again the MH logo.





Underneath the box you will find the small instruction that you are able to pull out and push back in the hand and ellbow joints of us dolls, together with firm infearmation.





Here you can see us two still pinned on the background display.

You will find a black scullette brush as part of us, which is really nice, but no doll stands and no diaries which had been part of earlier doll lines.





Well here are Monica and I together, freed from the display.

From now on the review will concentrate on me.

Moanica had a single version too which is identical to this one.
You will find her review by clicking on THIS LINK.





I really like this look. I don't know why, but it is not part of the 2016 MH boovie.

Mainly I am the vampire you know, with pale pink skin, black and pink hair and the signature heart on my cheek.





On this picture and on the one above you can see that my hair is styled to a ponytail that is a little bit on the right side. My bangs too are combed to this side and sprayed down.





I am wearing smooth blue eye shadow and grey khajal. My lips are hot pink.





This picture is about my accessories.

I come with a pink little purse that has the shape of a vampire mouth with fangs and a bat handle at the top.

You also can see that I have earrings with hearts motive and a batwinged heart bracelet and belt, all in light blue.





The dress I wear has a mesh collar part and is sleeveless.

The main dress is pink with a pattern of black flying bats that are outlined with blue. I really love it!





Todays last picture shows my boots. They are high and black and have bat motive details. I really love to have these!




And now it's time to say goodbye.

I hope you liked the little review. Moanica won't be happy not to be reviewed again in detail, but duh! She is not my beastie. The pack is called MONSTREOUS RIVALS for a reason, you know.

So,

have a vamptastic weekend and a fangtastic week,

GHOUL SPECIAL: Jinafire Long


Hello Ghouls and Mansters,


Here is Cleo deNile with a weekly blogspot.

It is a while ago that we made a ghoul special, but now its time again to do one.






Well, we have some little changes though.

Until now, we loved to show posters of the ones we interview in the background.
So - why don't we have one today?

Those posters had been from the german MH Magazine which isn't avalable anymore, and there are copyrights on both the pictures and the dolls too.
So, if we will post background pictures in future, it will be neutral backgrounds, like this one.

Okay, let's start with the ghoul special now.

Today our special guest is:




JINAFIRE LONG!


Hello, Jina!

Hello, Cleo, hello, Monsters out there!





Jinafire, would you please tell us a bit about you, before you show us your warderobe?

Sure!
Well, I am the daughter of the Chinese Dragon. I am 1500 scales old and have seven older brothers. So, I have developed a strong will, but also a calm attitude.

I am a fashion designer and love to work with metal. I use my firebreathing ability to make metalwork sculptures. As Clawdeen Wolf, I also love designing clothes.

My beast friends are Clawdeen Wolf and Skelita Calaveras.

Thank you very much, Jinafire.

Now, as usually, lets start have a look at your clothes, please!






Yes, and with old pictures as well.

Well, I came here wearing my NEW SCAREMESTER clothes, all designed by myself, and as you can see, I still like to wear them today.





This is my beachwear. The swimsuit is crocheted, dark green and dark red at the top part, and I wear a golden wrap and a paper umbrella when I walk at the beach.





This is my cozy pajamas, also crocheted. IT's a shorty in light green and salmon, and I have a green felt sleeping mask and loose green socks.





Well, here is the first summer dress I designed and crocheted for myself. It is dark red again, a one-shoulder piece with a rainbow coloured tull sleeve. On my arm I am wearing a green bracelet, made by Skelita, when she still lived here.





Here is my favourite dress, and it is a party look.

This dress is made of red and gold satin material with chinese phoenixes pattern. It is a simple tube dress, just a bit longer at one side, with sewed-on tube sleeves. To make it more fitting, I wrapped a red ribbon around it several times. The ribbon is also accessorized with a wooden chinese lucky charm.






Well, here is the christmas dress with hat Clawdeen crocheted for me. Mine is green.





This is my very favourite chrochet dress. I made a shimmering golden pailette top together with a green and brown camouflage skirt.





Also an outfit I really like is my spring dress with cardigan. The rose pattern cardigan and the black and golden dress originally had been one frabric, but I decided to let it look as if it would be different ones.





Here is my sports wear. It is good to know the martial arts when you have seven brothers!





My winter clothing. I am wearing green metallic scale design leggings together with a black pullover, and as accessories I crocheted a red scarf and a red hat that has a black top.





This is my dress for Olper SchΓΌtzenfest.

You know, I love green, and since on SchΓΌtzenfest everything seems to be green and white, I designed a white dress for myself with hole design and a short sleeved little bolero cardigan in green.

Also, I have a green and white striped bracelet. Skelita showed Clawdeen and me how to do them.





Well, here is my fall fashion.

I have a skirt in green and yellow with orange too (not visible on this pic) together with an orange panne velvet pullover.





And the last outfit I can show you today is my easter fashion. Since Clawdeen usually uses the tapefittyv patterns to design them, I did mine that way too to fit in the crew.

To stand out, I decided my top, skirt and ears to be all white. The skirt has a wonderful flower embroidery.





Wow, thank you to showing us all these!
There are some amongst them I really like too.

Thank you very much!

Well, it's about time to say goodbye and wish a majestic weekend and a royal week!


Bye for now,

πŸ’–πŸ’πŸ’–
Cleo deNile

REVIEW: Ghoul Sports Spectra Vondergeist


Helloooo out there, fans of Monster High!


It's me today doing the weekly blogspot, and I am Spectra Vondergeist.

Today I want to introduce to you the latest look I chose for myself.

If you know a little bit about myself, it is clear that I love gossip, news and also a bit of detective news. But did you know that I am a sporty ghost, too?

I really love to play tennis.
And now I have got gore-geous fashion for it!

Let me show you today!




I am:

GHOUL SPORTS SPECTRA VONDERGEIST


Here you find me in the box I came in. The box has a clear plastic window at the left side, the basic box is mainly black with blue ornaments.

ON the right side you find the Monster High crest and the logo with writing and scullette.

Then, there is an artwork that matches my latest look, my name and a crest with a tennis ball which has a face.

Also, in the lower right corner, there is a hint that I am for age 6 children and up.





At the left, the window side, the main pattern continues, and there is a MH crest as well.





The opposite side has the MH writing again, but without the scullette.





Well, here is the back of the front.

IT is mainly black as well with spiderweb designs, some hints and infearmation and more artwork.





At the top, there is said "At Monster High, the spirit of competition haunts our athletic teams." in different languages, directly under the headline writing.





And here are the artworks.

There is a big full body artwork of myself, a blue "card" which has the MH name again, the crest, my name and the name of the doll series.

Under it, you find three more "cards". One is hidden under the others, I guess there is my picture on it.The other two show artworks of Clawdeen wolf and Toralei Stripe, which also had been part of this series.

Usually, the box designers prefer to show little photographs of the dolls instead, but here there are the cutest artworks.


At the bottom you will find the usual firm infearmation.





Well, after so many pictures of the box, it is about time to show you what you will find INSIDE, isn't it?

Here you can see it: Of course you will find me, but there are a lot of accessories also, since I am one of the classic dolls.

Here you see how everything including me is pinned on the background display, which you can pull out of the box without damaging it.

The background itselves is mainly blue with a little bit black, white and yellow, and it shows a tennis court and some cheerring monsters.





here are some of the things you will find inside:

A black doll stand in three pieces, a Scullette brush, also black and a doll diarie.

This is normal for the older series. Sadly, they gave up continuing this in the reboot series.





Here you have a look at the inside of the diary which is written in several languages, the other side of the brush and the built-up stand.

Its very easy to clip the parts together, and you could clip the doll into the plastic holder at the top.
But after a while, the material can get weak and the clip-in part easily breaks.





Okay, now lets have a closer look at me!

On this picture, you see me together with everything else I came, a tennis rack in a tennis bag and the ball.





Accessories first.

There is a white and yellow tennis rack that has the shape of the MH scullette, and there is a black MH logo printed on, one of the details that made the old series so great.

Also you will find a neon yellow tennis bag, also in scullette shape, translucent and with a chain for me to hold it, and a yellow ball.





You easily can place the racket into its bag and close it.

Sadly, the ball doesn't fit in. I wish they would have made a hole there too, or such, because of course the tiny ball easily gets lost.





The yellow ball itselves has a little monster face and it doesn't look happy about being hit through the air, it seems *giggles*.





The rack has a handle so I can hold it in my hands.





Now, let's have a look at myself.

My hair is purple and styled in a high, a little bit sideparts ponytail, which is curled up and sprayed.




Over it, I am wearing a visor, as all my accessories neon yellow and translucent. There is a chain relief on it, too.





Here is my face-up without the visor.

As you can see, my skin is ghostly white. Sadly, the skin colour of my earlier self (Picture Day) got darker with the time. I don't know if that is the material or if one can clean it up, maybe.

My eyes are different then of most of the other ghouls at monster high.

My iris is blue, and where you may have white, mine are purple. I also have purple eyebrows.

I am wearing a pink eyeshadow with bright yellow highlighter, and my lipstick has a fuchsia tone.





Sadly too, there is a neon yellow stain on my forehead - I am not sure if you can see it, which is caused by the visor I am wearing. It seems that the visors material fades into my perfect white skin! Meh.





Well, here is my tennis dress and the other accessories.

The dress is mainly white with fuchsia coloured chain pattern, but has an assymetric black mesh part at the top which is frilled out at the bottom.
Also, there is a neon yellow plastic ribbon over it and a Monster High crest.

The wide skirt part also has frilled out fake-pettycoat details from black and yellow tull.

Over it, I am wearing a neon yellow chain belt and two matching bracelets, the same colour.





My tennis shoes are of course white and have yellow soles.

There is a white molded on sock part at the top, and many chain detail on the rest of the shoes.





Here you can see everything I come with on one picture, and you can see it is much:
Stand, brush, diary, racket with bag, ball, dress, shoes, belt, bracelets and visor.





Since my picture day self never has been reviewed completeley, I allow you to have a look at my body.

As you can see, it is the standart classic MH body, completeley white.

My lower arms and hands and my lower legs fade to completeley translucent. Well, I am a ghost.





I don't want to let you go today without showing you some more pictures of my Ghoul Sports self. I really love this look.





Here Calaminthe played around with her Photo Lab app on her smartphone. I love how it turned out. Ghostly, isn't it?






Well, I guess its enough for today, and so I want to say goodbye to you all, and thank you for watching and reading.




Have a spooky Sunday and a haunted week,
