davidd's A Doll A Day 2019

"Okay, what idiot upset Lord Apollo's attempts at piano this time?"

Gilda really is one of the more unique designs from MH, it's hard not to like her.

My guess would be Loki.  

Yes, Gilda was one of those influenced-by-the-internet purchases, and is one of my more recent Monster High acquisitions.

Haha... there is/was actually a piano near the beach here... tourists were playing it in the summer.  It's probably disintegrated by the weather, now. 

When I lived in Hawaii, somebody placed a bright red grand piano in an abandoned building on the North Shore of Oahu. I assume it was for some kind of fashion photo shoot or something. For a while the piano was in playable... sort of... condition, but it didn't take long for vandals to totally destroy it.

The piano fell there from the sky, landing on someone's head only for them to emerge from under it completely unscathed a few seconds later, y'know, normal piano stuff. They do it all the time.

Gilda is such an awesome concept, although not exactly a monster. I wish they put a little more effort in creating her character and signature look, the sculpt is wonderful but the rest is a bit bland... I know that she's a backgrounder and all, but I think she deserved more.

Ah! Laurel & Hardy must have passed this way! 

Unfortunately, Gilda was released at a time when the  general production quality of the Monster High figures was in decline. I believe she was only available as part of the Student Disembodied Council set... which I had to purchase in order to get her. The other figures in the set were of very poor quality, with badly finished mold lines and barely passable clothing. It's like what little effort that went in to the set was spent on Gilda.
