Doing some internet window shopping to distract me a bit from emotional suck. Well, mostly window shopping, I do have a couple bids in on eBay, but its a rare, and a good-sized lot, and both are really low prices with more than a few days left. I’m not holding my breath on getting them, but I would like to.

Anyway. “Window” shopping. Yes. Right now, I am looking at Lagoonas. I do have an original Lagoona Blue, in a mixed and matched outfit (I have the entirety of her original stock…somewhere), but I’ve never been completely in love with her, its just a “yeah, you’ll do, I guess.” I dig Lagoona as a character, but when it comes to the dolls, the hair and make-up tend to be so similar that I just haven’t been moved towards a specific one. I like the abundance of blue streaks on Frights Camera Action, but I’m not really sold on the super dark lipstick. The fro-like poof of curls on Exchange Student ‘Oona is cute and different, but that’s about all I like about her. I really love her Scarrier Reef hair, but I also hate the weird hot pink dot-explosion of her eye make-up. Its just kind of…pink eye/fungal infection-y. Do Not Want.

Also, I have a tendency to go for high ponytails and cute bobs on MH dolls, with a much stronger emphasis on the ponies, so as much as I like it, her hairstyle is actually a strike against her. I do really like the thick streaks, though, and the addition of a third color. Even if it is pink. At least its a darker pink, unlike Fangtastic Fitness or that roller-date-with-Gil one (Love on Wheels? Something like that Wheel Love! That’s it!). Keep your pastels for Barbie, Mattel.

And maybe Rochelle. Her whole gargoyle thing makes pastels seem more “faded from decades of exposure to the sun on the Paris roof-tops” and less boring cliche girly.

Anyway the second. Back to Lagoona. I sort of have an idea for hair for her, and of course it involves at least a partial reroot, because UGH, SELF. But that would at least give me the option of thicker streaks in whatever colors I want (is four colors too many? in addition to the blonde? what if two of them are thin accents to the other two?), and it would be a different look, particularly for her, but also a bit from the other Monster girls. Assuming I could actually make it work. Which is always a bad idea with me.

Oh! Speaking of ideas, and relative badness thereof – my cheap-ass MH shoes from China arrived! Neither pair that I really wanted was included in the mix. A few pairs I was okay with (and had varying levels – or lack of – interest in) are present. …and TWO fucking pairs of Venus McFlytrap’s open-toed, stud-wrapped boots. *facepalm* I mean, I love those fucking boots, but I already have them; my Venus has been wearing them for actual years, and now I have two more sets.

But hey, I spent $1.80 and they came really fast, so really, its hard to be too upset. And to be completely honest, if I had another coupon, I would totally roll the dice and order another set.
