Got Egyptian princess?
I'd love to see pics of your Cleos (any version)

-together with her sister
-together with the CAM mummy (or just with her body?)
-in different outfits

Recently I'm just so enamoured with this doll
Please feed my obsession

Hey ghoulies!

You know what's awesome? Making a good friend crazy for Monster High.
You know what's not so awesome? Said friend suddenly wants to buy way too many dolls (that are more expensive in Germany than in the US). I'm talking the Sig versions of:
-Rochelle
-Robecca
-Venus
-Skelita
-Jinafire
and maybe
-Operetta
-Spectra
-Nefera

Can you friendly people give me a Price Check for these girls? I guess Spectra and Oppy are more expensive in the US by now, but my friend isn't looking for the first releases anyways. Second releases do the trick. She also doesn't want the boxes.
All of these dolls are between 20 and 40€ here and my friend really shouldn't spend that much money right now (she totally would live on water and bread for a month if that would guarantee her a bunch of MH dolls all at once x__x).
She's hooked and it's my fault

We'd love to find out if finding a nice person to go doll-hunting for her in the US is cheaper than go doll-hunting in our region of Germany. Help us out, plz ^^ Thank you!

PS: Recently we found two Scaris Deuces and hid them in the toy store like idiots
So in case our hiding technique worked out we could still get them and maybe trade for some of the Sig girls she wants?

Welcome to the Sweet Six, geists and ghouls!

Valentines Day is approaching and we're all picking a very special gift for our creepy-cute crushes: a photo. But not any photo!
For this challenge I'd love you to deck out your monster in sweet stuff (candy, cake, chocolate - anything you'd give your Valentine on your date).
Your photo should be "delicious", and that can mean anything. Just keep in mind that this is a gift for your model's lover, so for this challenge it's up to you if you want to do a fashion shoot or an art photo (hint: that means clothes are optional, just make sure to cover the "naughty bits")

You have until 3:00am EST / 8:00am GMT on Saturday, 9 February 2013 to submit your entry to me.
Please also provide me with a title or I'll just come up with one of my own ^^

Have fun! <3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How It Works

1. A photography challenge is posted.
The poster may or may not post an example photo.

2. Participants are given seven days to submit their best photo.
They must PM a single photo to the poster of the challenge before the deadline.

3. At the conclusion of the seven days, the poster will anonymously post all the entries in a public poll.
The public will be allowed four days to discuss the entries and vote.

4. At the conclusion of the four days, the participant with the most amount of votes will be determined the winner.
The winner will be allowed a max of three days to post the next challenge.
If the winner does not post the challenge within three days, the runner-up will be allowed to do so, and so on.

5. In the event that two participants tie for first place, they will determine the next challenge together.

6.Once the public poll has ended, the poster will reveal which photo belongs to which participant.


The Specifics

- You do not have to use the same doll for every challenge.

- You do not need to participate in each challenge consecutively

- You may edit your photo with any sort of software you like

- You may use custom dolls, and dolls of any gender

- You may use any backgrounds, props, or sets that you like

- We advise hosts to NOT participate in their own challenge round

Hey there!

Okay, please tell me I'm not the only one who has ever thought about wearing MH inspired clothes or accsesories? I'm not talking about the MH costumes you can buy. What I'm talking about are outfits or single pieces of clothing/accessories you assembled or bought because it reminded you of your favorite MH character.

I thought it would be fun to have a thread where us wannabe "fashionistas" can collect the things we find in stores or the ideas we get? Wouldn't that be fun?
Now, i'm not a fashion victim. I don't follow trends or brands, I just like to wear what I love and what's comfortable to me.
That's why this isn't supposed to be a thread á la polyvore where you can assemble awesome outfits... that end up being from super expensive brands and none of us can afford them.

So when you post findings, make sure they aren't in the high price category. This is about sharing things others could most likely create or buy themselves.
Alright, let's see if this thing takes off or not

If you find stuff on ebay, please keep in mind that linking to live auctions is not allowed (MLPArena rules), but linking to the shops is okay.

I'd like to start with some of my own stuff^^

Just a little something I've been asking myself.

A lot of people seem to "censor" their nude dolls when doing photos of them for ebay, some can't picture themselves displaying Skelita "in the nude" and most reviewers on youtube don't show a doll without clothing, allthough the bodies of many dolls are really interesting (Skelita, Jinafire, Gorgon Girl, the see-through CAMs).
I've even seen some people warn for "doll nudity" in thread titles like it was somehow a trigger.

I wonder why that is? The dolls do not have any genitals, they don't even have nipples. They have undies engraved onto their little doll butts.
So why cover their "shame"?
Is it because of decency laws that you feel obligated to censor them or do they grow on you so much they become people to you and you feel you can't just expose them like that?

I'm not judging, not pointing fingers.
I'm honestly just curious as to why some people do that kind of thing

Personally, I would never make the doll cover his/her body for any ebay photos or hesitate to display a skeleton or scaled creature "nude". If their body molds look creative and cool - why not?
In context of photos I could understand a censoring. For example, you want to take a picture of one doll walking in on another one in the shower and you blurr the "naughty bits" to indicate that the character is supposed to be naked.
But completely out of context? Why should it bother people?

What are your thoughts on the subject?

Argh.

Finally got my werewolf girl last week and she's a hard cap.
I already tried putting several materials over the hole in her skull as some sort of covering to serve as a good base for the reroot, but it always ended up looking bumpy or too flat. It seems like I'm not able to retain that roundness.

I already tried soft leather, foam and three kinds of cloth.
Sadly I don't have a wig for her, because I heard those could be used to cover the head hole and serve as base for reroots.

Do any of you guys and ghouls have some advise for me? It is much appreciated as I really would love her rerooted instead of wearing a wig

Found someone! Thanks! 

Hey there!

I have this little project; I want to customize two MH dolls to look like Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn from the Batman universe. They are my favorite characters ^^
I only have one problem - I really suck at sewing.
I am afraid of needles and therefore have never touched a sewing machine before (and quite frankly, I don't plan to! Brr!)

I'm therefore looking for a skilled seamstress to make basic MH clothing for my girls.
Specifically, a bathing suit in green, a catsuit (bathing suit with long sleeves + closed tights) in red and a harlequin hood in red.
I'm able to do the rest by myself. For example the coloring of Harley's outfit, so my seamstress of choice doesn't have to work with two different colors

Would anyone be up for it?
If yes, please post in this thread (I have some troubles with PMs as of late). It would be great if you could show me some of your work and/or tell me how much you'd want me to pay.
I'm also up for trades. Check out my sales thread to have a look at my items; the link is in my signature.

*looks at you with puppy eyes*
