Yes, I am a target market.

Mattel has started making dolls that are cute girl monsters. Monster High! (clicky-link to the Mattel site for them!)

They're ADORABLE. Let me direct your attention to Draculaura. (clicky-link!) She's a vampire. With long, straight black hair (with pink streaks!), who wears black and pink, carries a black and pink parasol, and has a pet bat.

::blinks a lot, then makes flailyhands of glee::

The Stroppy One, when I showed the Monster High dolls to him, agreed that they were very cute, but felt that the people who make the Bleeding Edge Goth dolls should feel a little ripped off. He's ... not wrong. (However, I think I like the face sculpt on the Monster High dolls better than the BE Goth dolls.)

To sum up: VAMPIRE DOLLY THAT IS DRESSED IN PINK AND BLACK AND COMES WITH A PARASOL. Ahem.

Yes, there will be SFD photos later today, if I can sweet-talk mauraanderson into wielding the iPhone camera for me.

Totally unrelated to this, and at the risk of being an enabler, I just saw an ad saying that tomorrow is the 40th annual "John Fleuvog Thinks You're Awesome" sale and figured that I'd better tell you, on the off chance that you weren't already away of this.
