As always, thanks for looking!

Photo Set: Ghoul's Day Out Starring Rochelle Goyle

Why the possessive in the "ghoul's" of the post title? Because we're only looking at one ghoul today. That said, one ghoul does not mean one doll...

Lovely to see you, Rochelle! Your outfit -- which I love, by the way -- looks a little "sassier" than the clothes you usually wear. It's a nice change for you!

I've always felt you have such a sweet, friendly facial expression; you make Lagoona look angry by comparison! Your GNO look is probably the closest you're ever gonna get to fierce, and even then it's a stretch.

Mm-hmm, work those fleur-de-lis heels, girl! Say, I wonder who else is around here?

Oh, nobody I guess. But damn, Rochelle, that sure was a quick change! You related to Superman or something? Wow, I love your eyeshadow -- aqua is definitely your color! I must say, something about you looks a little more "monster-y" than usual. I like it!

Okay, now you're just goofing off!

Yes, I definitely like this look on you -- very nice. You look so serene.

The bun really emphasizes your endearingly shy personality. J'adore!

Another change! I can't keep up!

You got a haircut! If you ask me, this is easily your best 'do to date. Very chic. Digging your shades, too!

Did you get them at the same store Briar shops at? They remind me a lot of hers.

Yeah, your beach bag's cool I suppose. It's really hard for me to focus on it because I'm still freaking out over your amazing hair! Yes, your swimsuit is pretty wicked, too. The detailing on the bodice is just so you, Rochelle. You have great taste!

Now that Mattel has decided the quality of Cleo's hair should be variable from doll to doll, you've become my go-to girl for dependably fab tresses, Rochelle. Hope it stays that way!

Since you're here anyway, readers, how about a little box art...

Today's post may be a teaser of things to come...

Poll: What is your favorite Operetta doll?

It's time for another Voicething poll! After reviewing Operetta's Picture Day doll, I placed her on the shelf next to my other Operetta dolls and found myself doing an internal compare and contrast of the various versions of her. Naturally it got me wondering what you guys think of Operetta's dolls, and which is your favorite!

Do you prefer the one and only original, victory rolled, basic Operetta? Or maybe the day-glo faceup of Skultimate Roller Maze Operetta is more your style? Perhaps dark and vampy Kohl's Operetta is your go-to, or maybe you like the brand new Picture Day doll. You'll see all six Operetta dolls released to date listed in the top block to the right of this blog post. Select your doll, hit the vote button, and you're done! If you're on the mobile site just scroll to the bottom of this page, select "View web version", and when the page reloads you'll see the poll.

The same rules apply to this poll as last month's Cleo poll. You have one full week to vote, but you can only vote once! You can follow the vote tallies as the week progresses; if your favorite doll is lagging behind the others get the word out to your fellow Monster-ites! Do some campaigning! The more people who vote the more fun it is! When the poll closes I'll do a rundown of the votes and officially place each doll in a Top Six countdown. Don't forget -- voting ends at 11:59 PM Central time zone next Wednesday!

May the best doll win!

Update: As you may have noticed, the voting tallies on the poll are all wonky. One minutes it shows over 50 people have voted, the next it says 7 people have. I'm in contact with Blogger about this glitch and will hopefully get it worked out. In the meantime, go ahead and vote! Hopefully the Blogger techs will be able to provide accurate final voting numbers!
