Wait, What?

Kayla's posting two things a day???
What is this world coming to?


I just wanted to take a moment and briefly talk about one-now two- of my many fascinations...
Children's toys, specifically, Monster High.

For those of you who do not know what that is, it is a line of girl's dolls done by mattel (makers of barbies) based off of a high school where the children of famous monsters go to learn. The toys themselves are pretty cool, made with ball joints like the japanese bjds, which I think are both beautiful and a little creepy, so it's perfect for a series of monster dolls!
To go along with the dolls, there is also a series of webisodes (they're on season three now, I'm so happy!) Each webisode is about three minutes long. On top of that, they've also made several movies, which are soo cute.
The episodes are pretty cliche, but what high school story isn't cliche? that's what makes it funny because it's true.
Another thing I like about monster high is that they promote being unique, and that you shouldn't be ashamed of your differences, that you should celebrate them.
Plus, I love that while the main focus is on the main ghouls ( aka "girls" in monster high talk. Did I mention that it's full of puns? it's the best) the show isn't afraid to have episodes based off of the minor characters. Also, the monsters are from different cultures too, and I like how natural it feels.
And, the main ghouls themselves are well done. Just like My Little Pony and Tokyo Mew Mew, I feel like I can see a little of myself in them. But my all time favorite is Draculara, because she is a short lolita vampire who is just soooo cute. And short. :D But the others are really fun too. And Frankie is so adorkable.

Now, my newest fascination is... Ever After High! Mattel is doing a monster high spin off line, only this time it's a high school where the children of fairy tale characters go to learn how to eventually replace their parents and live out the same story. Just like monster high, it's a little cliche, but it's fun to see how they fit all these different characters into the series (they even have the little dutch boy! No one usually even remembers the little dutch boy!) and, like monster high, it has a really good message, only this one is that you should follow your heart, and not what everyone expects you to do.
My favorite character is Maddie, who is the daughter of the Mad Hatter. She is the best! She's a lot like pinkie pie, and she's the only one who can hear the narrators. Plus, her pet is a grey mouse named Earl Grey. So cute!


My favorite thing about both lines are the outfits: amazing. With monster high, everything is bold, with each character having a unique style, ranging from lolita to rockabilly to steam punk! Each character's look is fresh and new, and very bold. And now, with ever after high, the designs are more lolita-esque, but the colors are very vintage feeling, and soo cute! My favorite design is probably Goldie lock's daughter. Her dress has little cameos of the three bears on it. And her Ipad is soo cute too!
And both series are full of puns. Got to love it! :D
Here's one of my favorite episodes (Jackson was included for once!) Although, it doesn't have Abby in it.. She's another favorite. Oh well. 

And here's the intro into the world of Ever After high! The only thing that bugs me is Apple's name. Couldn't they be more creative? Everyone elses' name is really cool (ASHlynn as CINDERella's daughter? That's good)

Wow, that was a long post! Enjoy!
Love and Sparkles,
