Fixing up pre-loved Monster High dolls - Inital cleaning

Hey Dolly friends,

So a little while ago I bought a large bundle of pre-loved (also known as second hand!) Monster High dolls. The collection belonged to a child so when they got to me they were in a pretty sorry state! Between them they have every problem known to dolly-kind. Dirty, ratty hair, staining, damage, eye wonk, the works. I've been asked by a few people so I thought I'd write some blogs as to how I fixed up these lovelies.
This first blog covers the initial clean up stage. Here's how they looked on arrival...

Another blog about why I never blog...

Well jeez, stopped by here thinking 'I haven't blogged in a while', bit of an understatement, I haven't blogged in 3 years! Cripes!

A lot has happened since my last update, the most important aspect of which was moving house, twice, in fact we moved country! We moved to Edinburgh, Scotland in 2013, then moved through to Glasgow at the start of this year. Glasgow's nice, we have a balcony, it rains a lot though.

In August 2013 and August 2014 we ran our event Silhouette Burlesque at the Tron Kirk, Edinburgh Fringe. There's a ton of pics I don't have time to post here but I will at some point. It was a fantastic experience to run our show in such a huge venue. I was pleased that we got to run it 'punk' and instead of charging for tickets or entry, we took a bucket around the crowd at the end of the show for donations instead. Pay what you can afford, Cabaret for all! It was brilliant both years.
