I'm only addressing why the dolls are uniform, not the proportions or sizing. I roll my eyes when people complain the dolls are all the same size, because that is the reality of the process.

....nope. Somewhere out there a disgruntled fan or irate voodoo DJ put a curse on these guys so that every physical representation of them ever would look like a horrible dead-eyed zombie. Although nothing is going to top the original, grey-pallored soul-eater.

I don't know why but even though support this project and I really loved the first two seasons of the show, it wasn't until I heard those opening Dandy Warhols chords that I believed any of this would work. That song and this show are inexorably linked in my heart.

Her body is based on a plus-sized model's, so take the term with a grain of salt. Her "plus-sized" figure is what Vogue considers one to be.

The dolls having only one shape and size is a reality of the manufacturing process. If you want to make the dolls less expensive, you make everything as uniform as possible. The dolls have the same basic body mold and small, interchangeable cheap parts (hands mostly) to give individuality. There are several…

I would also add that Emme is a collector's doll and as such has access to a much wider range of fabrics/fastening that are too expensive to use on a mass market toy for children where everything has to be inexpensive and able to stand up to substantial wear. The Tonners have itty bitty functional zippers instead of…

I'm not a huge fan of the Tonners because even though they are very high quality, the faces all look pretty dead. The Martha Jones doll they did was nice, but she was $185.

It's a design feature and allows for more expressive hands. They have different hand gestures. Try putting a shirt on with all your fingers splayed. One doll has a "hang ten" hand. If all their hands were permanent mittens like Barbie, you wouldn't need to take them off.

I'm responding more to how boring you said the doll was. Emme is a fashion doll who's body is based on a plus sized model, made for adult collectors. She's not meant to be "fun." She's expensive and she sits on a shelf in someone's living room. She IS boring and if I were going to throw money at a Tonner, it…

No one is going to give a 5-8 year old girl an Emme doll. Tonner is a collector copmany, and those dolls are $60 and it's another $60 to get clothing. There are no accessories or furniture or boys, because she's not a toy for children.

There was a hue cheer when the Monster High boys got posable wrists. So they could actually use their cellphones.

People really get into the stories for these dolls. Youtube has tons of videos with 10 year old girls' stop motion of these dolls. There's a huge marketing blitz with books (two independent continuities), webisodes and DVD movies. I think that each doll has a sort of personality archetype is appealing, it gives…

The result makes the pastry feel chewy rather than flaky. I don't know if that's because of the frying but it stuck to my teeth.

I tried a cronut the other week and found it middling. Too much sweet on sweet and I don't think they did any favors to the dough by frying it. Worse those, afterwards it felt like I had eaten a rock. It just sat there in my stomach, a boulder of pastry. Would not eat again.

Elyse Sewell from the first year had a good career in southeast Asia for a while, and I saw Allison Harvard modeling a couple things on Karmaloop about 4 year ago.

The really veiny ones freak me out. They remind me of 90s comic book characters, where grimacing, constipated hulks were drawn with giant tumorous muscles and then covered in strained, spidery veins. The last thing I need in my nightstand is one of Rob Liefeld's disembodied X-TREME appendages.

I don't like overly twee sex toys, but I also don't like hyper-realistic ones. I like abstract brands like Lelo, JimmyJane and Laid.

Speaking as the owner of a Hello Kitty waffle iron and a series of abstract, brightly colored sex toys, I concur with these statements.

Why wouldn't it!? Ugh, women today, it's like no one cares about their appearance.

They're stretchy cock rings.
