Monster Exchange DraculauraI’m baaaaack! It’s been months since I’ve visited my tumblr page - life got complicated for a while (as it does); but *fingers crossed* have turned a better, brighter corner for now - & hopefully will stay that way! :)
And of course my daughter’s Monster High collection has *ahem* expanded; and a new favorite has arisen - the Monster Exchange Draculaura is just… soooo very cute - the face-up suits her so well - pink eyebrows, perfect blushing, & two-tone lip colour (hinting at traditional Geisha & Maiko, with a darker pink making a little rosebud in the centre); hair is perfect (& surprisingly resilient)- the centrepiece resembling fans - (with little black bats as hana-kanzashi!!); & I’m loving the shoes - geta sandals that more closely resemble those worn by Oiran rather than say, a Geisha. Loooooove it!
My daughter loves playing with my collection of kanzashi (on that note - she now has a beautiful crop of hair after a year & a half without - its about the length of a pixie cut at the moment, & growing fast, when we were snapping these photos she was musing that soon it would be long enough to support & wear my collection of kanzashi, that once she could, “I will wear one everyday, Mummy!” - she’s so awesome!) that this Draculaura is sort of eternally draped in at least one of them :)
My target just got g&b Jin and Cleo and I noticed that there were two different face ups one had bigger lips darker eyebrows and a smokier eye like in the promo pictures
