My Monster High Addiction

[pukunui]

Hi everyone,
 
I'm new around these parts. I've been into MLP ever since first discovering Friendship is Magic while trawling youtube looking for stuff my daughters could watch. I've been having a lot of fun photographing my burgeoning collection of ponies (see here).
 
The thing is, I recently got into Monster High as well, and I've been going a bit mad. So far I've got in my hands on Nefera, SS Frankie, School's Out Cleo, and Deuce. (I've also got SS Lagoona and the Cleo that came with Deuce, but I'm going to sell them nude and keep their outfits.) I've also ordered via eBay the following: Jackson Jekyll, the Gloom Beach 5 Pack, Home Ick Frankie (I mostly just want the outfit ~ especially those shoes! I adore them!), an original wave 1 Lagoona, and Lala's newspaper club outfit. I'm trying to find a School's Out Lagoona (I've got a NIB Spectra I'd be willing to trade for her), and I'm still on the hunt for some more outfits, particularly some of the guys' swimsuits and such ... Oh, and I want Rochelle as well, and I'm planning on getting Scarah Screams when she eventually comes out.
 
Anyway, my main reason for posting was to share some of my MH photography. Here's a teaser:

Please do not use my photos without permission. If you'd like to buy prints (or commission me), just let me know. I'd be happy to oblige. I am a trained graphic designer and photographer with three little mouths to feed.
 
Cheers,

AWE. SOME. NESS.

When does the film come out?! hehe

[bewilderness]

<3 it!  I would so watch that if it was a real movie.

And yes, Monster High is very addictive!  (And so are the ponies ;D )

Lovely! Will you be doing more movie posters by any chance? You have a real knack for it!

Thanks! I studied graphic design a few years ago. I'll certainly do more if inspiration strikes.

Oh my goodness! If you could come up with a fakie movie poster about Operetta or Ghoulia i would totally buy a print! <3 <3 <3

That poster is GORGEOUS! <3 (but alas Cleo and her sister are my least favorites... lol )

Alas, I don't have Operetta. I did just order a Gloom Beach 5-Pack, so I will eventually be getting a Ghoulia, but she's one of my least favorites, so I'm not sure yet whether I'll be keeping her or selling her.

Oh, honey, I'll inspire you! Hehe

I actually do have an idea for one for Lagoona. I just have to wait for my wave 1 basic Lagoona to arrive from the States (I've ordered quite a few MH dolls and outfits on eBay in the past few weeks and a friend of mine is collecting them all for me to save on shipping).
 
The Husband of Frankie Stein could be a good one. I'm not sure Deuce would make such a good husband, but the new Jackson Jekyll I ordered sure will. So that's a definite possibility!
 
Anything to do with Lala will have to wait till my Gloom Beach doll arrives.
 
Just as a sort of reminder, the only dolls I have in my collection at the moment are:
Nefera
Frankie (b/w Skull Shores)
Deuce
Cleo (School's Out)
 
Here's what I've purchased through eBay:
Gloom Beach 5-Pack (Frankie, Cleo, Draculaura, Clawdeen, Ghoulia)
Jackson Jekyll
Frankie's Home Ick set (just want the outfit, particularly the shoes, so I'll sell the doll ~ I don't like that Frankie's hairstyle)
Frankie & Lala's "Day at the Maul" fashion pack (I just love Lala's black tights with the pink hearts on them)
Lala's Newspaper Club fashion pack
Rochelle Goyle
and hopefully Jackson Jekyll's Gloom Beach outfit (that auction hasn't finished yet)

Woah! :o

These are gorgeous!

Damn, girl, you're really on a buying spree! I just counted my 'herd' tonight. Just hit 39. I cannot believe it.

I'm a guy, and yeah, I have a habit of going on buying sprees. My wife hates it, I'm sure. I'm a child of the 80s/90s American suburbs ... I was constantly bombarded with cries of "Collect the whole set!" It's hard to resist. Before MLP and MH, it was Star Wars and D&D miniatures. I've got bucketloads of them.
