Greetings!
I have been busy! (what's new right?) Last weekend after I photographed Apple, I realized I needed to rearrange my EAH shelf. I couldn't see Raven, Maddie, or Cerise as they were in the back. So, there was no better time than the present for a photo shoot!
The group!
Aren't they just the cutest? Apple, Briar, Raven, Madeline
Maddie, Ashlynn & Hunter, Cupid, Blondie
Blondie, Cedar, Cerise, Dexter
Cedar, Cerise, Dexter, Holly & Poppy
I love them ALL!
I also took pictures of their fabulous storybook boxes. I have never had one box not stay together after I took out the doll. I feel that these boxes have been designed well so they would hold their shape.
I did have a picture of the entire row of them but accidentally deleted the photos from my SD card. Boo! Just pretend these two photos are together. :)
Do you know your Royals and Rebels? Here's the list!
Royals:
Apple White
Briar Beauty
Ashlynn Ella
Blondie Lockes
Dexter Charming
Holly O'Hair
Mattel has also announced three new Royals that will be making their debut soon! And I can NOT wait!
Hopper Croakington II
Duchess Swan
Daring Charming
How exciting is that!
Rebels:
Raven Queen
Madeline Hatter
Hunter Huntsman
C.A. Cupid
Cedar Wood
Cerise Hood
Poppy O'Hair
Mattel has also announced there will be a new Rebel to join the line! I think i'm more excited for this one than any of the royals coming out.
Kitty Cheshire

How cute will she be with her curly pigtails? She will be a hit.
There is also one doll that I am holding off on for a bit. Tell you why in a sec.
The most beautiful Lizzie Hearts who falls into the Ever After High Royals.

I LOVE her.

Lizzie is our second shorter doll, sized the same height as Maddie. I have not seen her in person yet but from these photos, she looks fabulous.
Why have I not snatched her up yet? Because I'm entering a contest. This brings me to my project!
The Ever After High Dolls page on Facebook is having a comic contest! And if I come in third place, I could win her!
The first and second place prizes? Cerise Wolf or Manny Taur and Iris Clops, the exclusive EAH and MH dolls sold at SDCC. Wow! She also throws in some other SDCC MH and EAH goodies as well. Now that's awesome!
Her contest is making a comic starring an EAH character. Pictures can either be done with photographs or hand drawn which allows those who have NO artistic drawing talent to enter!
I'm starting on my project today while the hubs is out and about. I asked him to help me come up with a story but you can see how well that went...... ;) I've got an idea though. I hope it's enough to win!
My story features the fabulous....Raven Queen!
I also went shopping yesterday to pick up some baby things and needed to buy one MH dress as a prop for my comic. Do you know that they have NO MH fashion packs in stores anymore? I figured maybe I could pick up a doll if the price was cheap enough and I liked the dress. No dice. But I did find a doll that I liked. I don't know. Maybe I'll get her.
Monster High Freaky Fusion Dracubecca
 |
| www.amazon.com | |
Dracubecca is a fusion of...you guessed it. Draculara and Robecca Steam. Cute no?
To be honest, I found all of these freaky fusion dolls super cute. I would have been tempted to buy if they were not $20.99 USD. They'll come down I'm sure.
Cleolei - Fusion of Cleo de Nile and Toralei
 |
| www.amazon.com |
Lagoonafire - Fusion of Lagoona Blue and Jinafire Long (this one really gets me, cute!)
 |
| www.amazon.com |
Clawvenus - Fusion of Clawdeen Wolf and Venus McFlytrap (The earrings! I can't even.....)
 |
| www.amazon.com |
These Freaky Fusions are different from the hybrids that came out previously: Avea Trotter, Bonita Femur, and Sirena von Boo. I love these mashes of characters. Awesome!
I will post up my comic as soon as the contest is over, September 12. I better get to work!
Until then I'll have more Barbie posts coming up soon!
Let me know in the comments:
*Excited about the new EAH royals and rebels?
*Have any MH Freaky Fusion? Love or don't love them?
*Any EAH you plan to get in the future? (For me it's Thronecoming!!)
Until next time friends!
Hello Friends!
Hope you had a wonderful and relaxing Independence Day weekend! I really needed a three day weekend. Work has been so busy that I needed a long break to relax and unwind. The hubby and I went to a concert, watched the city fireworks display and went to a beautiful place in my homestate called "Crater Lake." It's one of my most favorite places of all time with some of the bluest water you will find anywhere in the world.
You know what else is this color of blue? A piece of clothing on my newest Ever After High doll.
I present to you...
Dexter Charming!! (with the Crater Lake blue jacket!)
Now how I got him was completely too good to be true. He is not in stores yet in my area but you heard before in my Raven post how I desperately wanted him! I went to Mattel.com where he was listed for $21.99. A little more than I like to spend but for the newest of the new dolls, I wasn't going to complain. (I don't like paying around $7 for shipping though. Ugh, hate shipping fees!) However after one day, he sold out. Then I looked on Amazon.com where he was listed for as high as $80! Nooooo thank you! I can wait....
I went onto Amazon the next day just for kicks and grins. Amazon had him for $21.99! And if you spend $35, you get free shipping. So I threw in another EAH doll and in two days, I had my hands on Dexter. Squee!
So, onto this cutie-pie!
Some pictures I've seen of Dexter show him in the box wearing his glasses and without. Mine is without. He's holding his glasses which I think is so cute!
Inside the box it says "Charmed at first sight." He is simply charming!
Unfortunately, I have a couple "irks" about him.
Dexter is another doll that has gelled hair. Not "Holiday Barbie hard" like Hunter and Poppy, but still gelled. He has PERFECT hair. Take a look at him from the webisodes.

| everafterhigh.wikia.com |
NOT perfect hair. So there's that.
And his hair is so gelled you can't get his glasses to stay on!
So for review purposes, he will have crooked glasses.
He does not come with a comb (probably because his crown is tagged to his head) so his only accessory is his Ever After High backpack.
His outfit is very true to the webisode character and has a little crest on the lapel of his jacket.
There is also a wallet chain hanging from the top of his pants. Marked with a "C" for Charming!
And his under shirt is marked with the same logo!
His jacket is longer in the back which gives an aura of royalty while jeans and sneakers still remark that he's a high school kid.
Shoes!
Dexter wears simple Converse Chuck Taylor-esque sneakers. And it's cute to have his jeans sitting on top of the shoe rather than being pushed down inside. (Unfortunately for this photo, it appears to be pushed inside...)
With glasses off he makes girls swoon (Especially Cupid.) It's funny to watch it in the webisodes!
Now, I had WAY too much fun with Dexter after I removed him from the box. Of course, if you're a Dexter/Raven fan, you'll appreciate these pics!
awww.....
This one is my fav.
Because of their angle (and the way I had to get them to stand) it appears that Raven has to stand on her tip-toes to reach to hug him.
If you like the Dexter/Raven story you will LOVE the story in his bookmark. It's so sweet. I had to read it twice and many times I was "Aww, so cute!" :)
But I wasn't ready to put Dexter on the shelf just yet. SOMETHING had to be done about his hair!
So I washed it. :)
At first I just brushed through it thinking the residual gel would allow his hair to stand up and be messy but no dice. The part kept pushing it down to the side.
So I washed it and then while wet, held a pen around it to give it some kind of a curl.
*GASP!* Scissors???
Introducing...the new and improved....Dexter Charming!
First, I took some gel and twirled his top hair in fast short twists between my fingers to get it to texture. It worked but it was way too long. So I cut it. Friends, I have never EVER cut a dolls hair before. Well, I did once and that was so a bad haircut would fit under a wig. But never to just leave the doll out in the open! And I did it with a brand new EAH doll! I feel proud. :)
I also wrapped his scarf around a third time to get it more like Dexter's picture that I showed above. And I can get the arms of his glasses in his hair so they are on straight.
Well, what do you think of Dexter Charming? Planning on getting him as soon as you can like I did? :) Do you approve of his new hair-do? Anything I could have done better to achieve the look I wanted? Let me know in the comments!
As I mentioned above, I had to buy another doll to get free shipping at Amazon. Who will she be? I'll post her up as soon as I get her, should be in a few days!
Until next time!
