I know, right? Her sculpt, her color scheme, everything about Spectra is so elegant. And oh my gosh, those eyes!

This is a lovely, soft portrait of Spectra. She can often appear harsh or stern, but you have captured and conveyed her gentle side here.


My apologies! I keep using the wrong name because I got used to it. Story time! Mattel released this line in 2013, without giving it even the slightest hint of a name! Fandom started calling the line Swim Class (after Dance Class), but as the line was about beach and not a swimming lesson, Make a Splash became more popular. Then Mattel re-released the line one year later, naming it Beach Beasties - I'm pretty sure you have Venus from this line. As the line didn't have any official name I could put into my collection catalogue at the time, I went with Make a Splash, and I've been using it ever since. Several fan-made databases use it, too. But it's the same line as Beach Beasties.

And thank you very much!

And Spectra looks very elegant here.  Great portrait.

Thank you! I'm glad my photos brought you something new (even if you don't get any MH dolls yourself).

Or maybe just wondering what to have for dinner.

Yeah, this line had a hella weird distribution in Europe. I found her in an obscure store that also sold electronics, hosehold chemicals, all kinds of stuff.

She was pondering the futility of wearing a swimsuit when her normal clothes don't get wet anyways, but then she realized she looks fabulous in it and that's the only reson she needs.

What to have for dinner is a great philosophical question, in my opinion.
Is it an at-home or going-out night.?  Should it be hot or cold?  Leftovers or a new meal?  So many questions!

Hmmm... What do the ghosts usually eat? I think candy cotton might be light enough for them. Or maybe all those Halloween snacks and candy? Hmmm... I won't be able to get this out of my head for at least a week...


Day 149

I love taking profile portraits of MH dolls, but EAHs, well, not so much. Their heads aren't really made for that angle. But in some rare cases, it can actually look pretty good.

And it begged for a filter!
