21 August – Monster High "Beach Beasties" Venus McFlytrap
Why do I have this doll? I do not clearly remember buying her. She is from the later production era of Monster High, pre-reboot, but the quality was beginning to decline. I had to look her up online to see what she was. Apparently she should include a pink beach bag and a multi-colored beach blanket in addition to her sunglasses. I don't know if I still have that stuff. I suppose it's around here somewhere.
And how many "swimsuit" lines did Mattel release for Monster High? The original, Gloom Beach, was kind of fun. Skull Shores offered the novelty Black & White Frankie. But by the time of Beach Beasties, they weren't even trying to include anything inspiring or clever.
Obviously I have, at this point, stopped trying to do anything inspiring or clever or creative with my daily doll photos.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!
