Rainbow goes out, Tiramisu comes in

Rainbow's money went to hair for three other Monsters. Pillarbox red for Kierra, Moonlight and Starlight for nameless Ghoulia, and Tiramisu possibly for the spare (Beach) Jackson. Be weird if it matches him. I asked for a couple of samples to see if the match Clawdeen and Cleo as well. 

I don't see Ice Princesses in my future, I'm doing one of the Dracularas however, nor any real hurry. I just wanted to get the hair order done with not because I'd change my mind or forget, I just like to be stocked up incase I get a rerooting bug up my bum. Or I let the stuff sit there for six months. 

Here's to hoping I feel more energetic and creative tomorrow but as I type up my old journal pages I'm finding good ideas I forgot about. 

But wait, there's more!

Took a few minutes to work another shelf in to the doll wall and ended up wondering just how many I have. 

I actually only sat down and counted Monsters, just the Monsters I'm keeping, not those in the reroot pile or on pre order or my wish list.. The grand total is 39, 34 full bodies Monsters and 5 CAM heads without torsos. Subract 5 extra Ghoulias, 2 extra Jacksons, and an extra spectra and it's down to 31 individual characters. And 4 more CAMs and possably Robecca and Venus on the list.

I got around to snapping some pictures of the horde but keep in mind it doesn't show the Teen Skippers, Blythe, Hujoo, Kelly dolls, Disney Princes and anyone else in their drawer, the Jem and Darci dolls, and anyone else hiding in the drawers, and the tub full of action figures... And Dr Elebenty on pre order...

There are boxes under the beige holder which are full, the pink and green boxes have Barbie clothes and ball joint clothes.

Everyone in the house is planking, except for Heath who has sushi to prepare.

The Monsters who are going to be rerooted.

The Trekkers, had to move the dresser awhile back and haven't got things put back together yet.

Xavier and family in their coffin.

The rerooted Monsters

The DZ 70 twins, the Obitsu 60, and both Orientdolls are still in their boxes.

 And Homunculus Jimmy and Doctor Fluttershy drying.

I don't want to cut down so much as I would like to display and enjoy my dolls more. Some I do need to box up as I'm only keeping them for my website I need to start caring about again. It would be nice to have some help with getting that together too.

Some times just having some company would help. 

Painted my Obitsus

I can always tell when it's been raining and windy after because my eyes swell up. Not as bad as it could be this time. Worked on Homonculus Jimmy and Doctor Fluttershy and finished a pair.

Emerald and Sapphire. I got them when I got Cupcake my Bitty Bitsu but I never got around to painting them until now.

The dolls wanting to be made so far are thus- Julian, to be a buddy to Justin Mongoose no questions asked and the bar tender who likes to be surrounded by drunken verbally abusive men, he has issues. Pete to hang out in the Who Fort, argue with Roger the Centaur, and smash things. Marty the puppeteer.

It's weird not "having" them around, not "having" a Bee Gee but I still have Dr Gibb to fill that slot. 

If I get back in to head making I want to work on Sculpey Sid and maybe a bit of the air dry doll. I also think a modeling clay version of any head and especially Sid might work as I'm good at interpreting things I see. Part of what bothered me about the old heads is they didn't look as realistic as I would have liked and I wanted to do better just for myself. 

Jacinda Jones' troll stopping advice

This is Jacinda Baldwin/Jones, she likes to mug other Monster High Frankie Stein dolls. She's taken Dawn of the Dance Frankie's body with the shiney bolts, she's taken Gloom Beach Frankie's hands. Any other Frankie comes in to the house she'll take their clothes, shoes, stuff, and possibly gay boyfriend Jackson. She makes other Frankies shave their heads and get new hair then she kicks them to the Ebay curb so they can be sold to make money to buy more Monster stuff. 

Jcinda is a no-nonsense girl who doesn't put up with bullsh*t from trolls. She has the patience to answer why rerooted dolls are nekked in their pictures, because she took their stuff, she doesn't have the patience if you can't bother to use things like captialization, punctuation, something close to proper spelling, or common sense. 

I discovered how to hide comments on Deviant Art today, so instead of feeding trolls I can just ignore them on an industrial scale and starve them of attention. I'd tell the troll to suck on that but I have a feeling I can rememebr what I was doing the day she was born. 

Circular reasoning?

Good times bad times

First the bad which I assme will one day be good. I've tossed all the 1/6 heads I've ever made except for Roger the Centaur, Holmes and Watson and Homonculus Jimmy. All the Beatles, Julian, Bee Gees, Zep, and Who. I tried to fix and rework them, a couple of them I shouldn't have touched, but in general we no longer got along, had learned all we could from each other, and someone had to go. This will make me take a new look at what heads I really do want and so on and so forth. I shouldn't have messed with the first Homunculus Jimmy nor the first Robin but all things must fart. I have made a better Jimmy and will make a better Robin. 

Now for the successful stuff. 

Barbie Pink Frankie is finished! 

And that I was looking  at my heads and seeing if there was anyone fixable I got out the Apoxie Sculpt to ready Doctor Flutterhy and Homonculus Jimmy for painting.

Yup, decided that I wanted a My Little Time Lord, just a #4 as I don't need yet another dozen because I have the pocket Doctors.

As for remaking the heads I'm wanting a Pete Townshend for the Who Fort thing, I'm just not feeling my sculpting skills. 

Some day I will.

The secret Monster idea is a flop

The color schemes aren't going to work with what I have so I'm going to the other idea I have to use up hair I have at hand. And if I need more supplies I can get them at the store with little fuss.

Making progress on the pink haired Frankie.

So far so boring with my weekend, just hanging out with the dolls.

'Nother Monster idea, but it's a secret

Seriously because it's possibly cooler than My Little Time Lords and not that I think someone will beat me to it nor do I care, I just want the fun of revealing the idea whn I've done it. I need to check the hair colors I have and twinkle think who will get done up as what in a couple of places, as I'm quite sure I'm going to keep the Ghoulias, but it means I don't have to buy any more hair, except for my Ghoulias.

Perhaps I should say they'll be ___ inspired as I won't be copying the things exactly but feeding them through a Monster filter. And it's not Time Lords. I haven't even painted up my Flutter Shy as #4 yet, when I do I have a bunch of my sculpts to paint and Apoxie Sculpt to get out as I need to finish Jimmy's hair too. I just couldn't do it while I was on puppy patrol and then I need to have the drive.

I will miss the itty bitty baby puppies.

 But I don't miss having to have an ear open, even when I was sleeping, for trouble. Although she meant well our little terrier was constantly trying to get in the nest or pull one of the puppies through hte bars of the exorsize pen. It didn't stop for well over a month until they were too big for her to try and pick up. 

This mess I don't miss. 6 times the pants tugging, 6 times the noise, 6 times the poops, a gazillion times the puddles as I suspect they allowed other puppies to come in and piddle in their nest.

Make that the Mane Five Monsters

Well well well, I went to the only store in the chain that didn't have white curls and other hair bits in my adventures of buying goat food today and decided I'm going to keep Dead Tired Ghoulia.

So far I'm secure on ordering red hair for Kierra, haven't decided between nylon or saran yet, but DT gets white and silver star and moon named nylon hair with shimmer and sparkles. Not the same white as the Ice Princess thing.

I've been looking at other hair possibilities for the other five, but as I never know when Dr Elebenty will come I have to keep his money at the ready.

Saw three of the four new Monster High outfits at the store and passed as I have a batch coming, Abbey's was missing, and with my past luck with the club outfits I had also found three and had to pay more to get the fourth which I've never seen at the stores. It made me pause for a moment to wonder if I really wanted them but then again I'd rather be damned if I do and if I really fell out of love there is a great secondary market for them, even used.

Downer thoughts away I  need to figure what will come of the five girls I want to sell, and the spare Draculara, Cleo, and Clawdeen I also have. 

Even if I did the girls as Ice Princesses in nylon it would be $50 for enough hanks, and the colors I want for my Ghoulias. Rainbow did sell but after Ebay bills and shipping I'll be lucky to net half what I'll need to pay for the hair. So I have thoughts to think. 

And after the fun Anderson Cooper had with the human Barbie let's see what we can do to promote the Anderson Cooper Barbie...

And I'm doing Ice Princesses for the Holidays

The last Lagoona in the zip code was waiting for me, a Skull Shores, and as I have the other "mane six" and tried white hair against Cleo and Clawdeen and it didn't look that bad I'll be remaking the idea that paid for the first batch of CAMs.

Except this batch will have eyebrows and I'm not stripping Lagoona's hands. 

I hope Disco Cleo sells with Rainbow Frankie because it'll off set six heads of ice hair and Kiera's red. Got to finish the pink Frankie and sell her too.

Now what I did pass on was another Jackson to make an Ice Prine out of, but I wanted some movies more. Someone has to buy Albert Nobbs and Jeffrey Comb's House on Haunted Hill. I have white curls that would work on him, it's just not that glowing white I'll have to order.

Then again that's why I'm giving myself six months to get to it, unless the next six months are very very busy, touch wood.

One Jackson and two Ghoulias too many

Especially as the current layout of my room has me staring at my Monster shelf and having recently gone through my rerooting supplies I'm left to think what to do with the three I plan to keep. Waffling on the Dead Tired Ghoulia, but first ed Kierra and first ed Jackson (Patrick) can stay especially because there's a distinct lack of boys.

Now as I don't let my Monsters watch the toons, they claw their faces off at the sound of some of the voices, I get free reign with my imagination and origional characters, to a degree I suppose. This pair are from the batch named after Led Zeppelin kids, or at least those that are admitted to. 

Before I go all Zep list I have a black purple mix and dark green hair to choose between for Jackson but I want red for Ghoulia and I'll have to buy it. No ideas for Dead Tired G yet.

Not that I'm rock solid with this but roughly here's how I named some of my Monsters after Led Zeppelin kids without a single care given to anything cannon in the Monsterverse. 

Cleo- Chloe Bonham, Deuce- Jason Bonham 

Draculara- Scarlet Page, Jackson- Patrick Page, there are a younger boy and girl with Jimmy's second wife and CAM vampire boy and girl but I haven't named any CAMs yet.

Clawdeen- Carmen Plant, Holt- Karak Plant (didn't read his diary or get the whole Jackson thing then), Clawd- Logan Plant, and there's another son Jesse incase they make another wolf guy or something.

Frankie- Jacinta Jones (unless they go by Baldwin), Lagoona- Tamara Jones, Ghoulia 1st ed Kierra Jones

As for relations to some of my other dolls Operetta could be the daughter of Winslow Leach the Phantom of the Paradise.

Other paternity tests are pending but unless they make a centaur I doubt there are any errant Doltreys out there. That's how I'm going to spell Roger the Centaur's last name now, Doltrey. (doll-tree)
