Lies and falsehoods, Padfoot!

Please enjoy this rare (for this time of my life) non-Olympic post. :D

( A Man Made Monster )


Song quote for today: More than ever, hour after our work is never over

Answer to last Tuesday's song: Blood in the Water, from Legally Blonde. No one guessed this, but I had to pick it because it was about sharks (sort of) and last Tuesday was my Jaws review.

I realized when I was talking about the Heath and Abbey two pack a little bit ago that I haven't actually done a review of Abbey, so I thought maybe I should do that before we get to the two pack.

( Here there be yetis! )


Song quote for tonight: And she's got a way of makin' a boy act like a clown!

Answer to last Thursday's song: Worried Man Blues, my version is by The Kingston Trio. No one guessed this.

Remember when I said I had exciting doll-related news on the horizon? (Warning, this got kind of long).

( Well, here it is! )

Song quote for today: It's plain to see we're over, and I hate when things are over, when so much is left undone.

Answer to last Sunday's song: Sweet Caroline, by Neil Diamond. No one guessed this. :(

This is a very special Monster High review, because not only did this set come with two dolls, but it also introduced to me my very first boy doll.

( Did you know Monster High even made boys? )

Song quote for tonight: Fly the ocean in a silver plane, see the jungle when it's wet with rain

Answer to last Monday's song: Larger Than Life, by The Backstreet Boys. No one guessed this. :(

Here is my next review, finally! And this one is going to be a little different, ostensibly to celebrate my return to MH reviews, but mostly just because I feel like it.

Anyway, I had been reviewing my dolls in the rough order that I acquired them (as well as I can remember anyway) but I just bought Picture Day Cleo a few days ago with my Christmas money, and decided to break the pattern and review a new doll for a change. This review has quite a few more pictures than usual, jsyk.

( My first ever picture of a MH doll in a box! )

So, Ghoulia and I have a complicated relationship. 

Rant time: (And this is going outside the cut, because I feel like everyone needs to know this about me, for future reference) I FUCKING HATE ZOMBIES. I hate the idea, they scare me, I hate that they're so popular, I even hate the word, and usually try to avoid saying it. I wish everyone would just get over their fascination with the stupid things, so I could stop hearing about them. If The Walking Dead had never existed, in any form, that would be WONDERFUL. If you like them, fine, great, but don't try to convince me to. I am terrified of them (seriously, even that one episode of Castle scared me, and I couldn't sleep for a week after I (erroneously) watched Shaun of the Dead, I don't think jokes about them are funny, and I wish the whole stupid craze over them would just GO AWAY ALREADY. *breathe*

Anyway, you're free to like the damn things, to each their own, but I don't.


( Which is why a zombie-themed doll is problematic for me. )

Some of you may be asking: "where is the Ghouls Rule review we were promised?" Well, I went to take the pictures for it tonight, and my camera battery was dead, so I decided to do this one with pictures I already had instead. We'll get back to GR eventually. :D

All right, get ready for this LJ world, it's a special double review! In honor of Halloween, I'm going to break out of the pattern I've been going in (reviewing dolls in the approximate order in which I got them) and review some of my Ghouls Rule dolls. They're Halloween themed, and meant to go with the MH Halloween special, so this is the most appropriate time to talk about them, don't you think?

( But it's also a little bit more complicated than that. )

More GR reviews coming soon! I'll try to get at least one more in before Halloween.

I'm watching HalloweenTown while I write this, so 
( what better time to do a werewolf review? )

Heh, I'm at the part of Halloweentown where they get hair from the totally straight, why do you ask werewolf hairdresser. I love this movie. I bet Marnie would fit right in with the MH kids.
