A short post about why I love budget Monster High dolls more than deluxe dolls. Oh, and other stuff.

So.....did I ever say how big of a fan I am of Monster High dolls? I don't think I have. (Well, this is my second post, so.....no.) Okay, story time.
I can say, back when I was a kid I wasn't a big fan of dolls. Yeah, sure, I had some Bratz (Which would creep me out due to their detaching feet.) and some Barbies (I even had a castle.), but I preferred Pokemon and Yu Gi Oh! I didn't really like girl toys. But....
Back sometime in late 2012, an old friend of mine (Who is no longer my friend.) and I were just bored in Walmart, so we went to the kids isles and came across the MH section. My friend didn't like them, and always called them 'whore dolls'. (I do have to admit, there are some pretty short skirts....) But me? I was intrigued by them. I really don't know what her problem was with them, some months before I started getting interested in them she would rant about them for no reason. As a matter of fact that is how I even knew they existed. So, back to when she and I were in Walmart. She looked at them and sneered, walking on. But me, I stopped to look. The dolls that were the most prominent were the Classroom ones. Frankie, Ghoulia, and Lagoona dolls took up most of the small section. As I looked closer, I saw all the joints they had, and my curiosity about how well they could pose got the better of me. I inspected them closely to see which one I wanted, and my eyes finally fell on the doll that made me addicted. Home Ick Frankie Stein.
I bought her then brought her home, worried by what my parents would say. I stepped inside and told my dad I bought a doll, and all he said was:
"Whatever makes you happy."
After that, I got addicted. It was some months before I bought my next two dolls for my birthday, Mad Science Lagoona Blue and Schools Out/Basic Wave 2 Cleo De Nile. Now I own over 80.
Oh dear, I haven't even got to why I was typing in the first place. That will be under the cut.

Why hello there!

It's nice to see you reading my new blog!
The last time I made a blog was back in 2011. You can even still view it.
I was 15 at the time, and I rarely posted at all. As a matter of fact, I completely forgot about it by late 2012, until I was updating my website yesterday and I had put link to it above my news section.
I was very young at the time, and I liked being very personal with my websites/blogs. That hasn't really changed, but I now prefer a simpler design. I like simplicity, so the background to this blog will remain the same, at least for now.
More information under the cut.
