The Monster High Gory Gazette

Catching a Scream with Clawdeen

We recently tracked down school monsterista and budding fashion designer Clawdeen Wolf to capture an in-depth lurk at her epic plans for 2013. What we unearthed certainly did not disappoint.

We found Clawdeen sitting alone at the Coffin Bean, furiously drawing in her designer sketchpad. “I take this thing with me wherever I go,” she said. “You never know when inspiration will strike!” When asked about her UHH-litmate inspiration, Clawdeen was chomping at the bit to tell us more about her freaky-fierce fashion icon Mme. Moanatella Ghostier. “I’ve been following her work since I was the runt of the pack. She is the most furrrocious designer ever and I would die (just die) if I ever had an opportunity to work with her. That’s really my biggest scream right now. The opportunity to work with my idol and inspiration.” We think a ghoul with this kind of talent and ambition is likely to do freaky-fab things in 2013. The MHGG wishes you the beast of luck in making all of your screams come true Clawdeen!

Super Shoe Swap Set for Noon in Gymnasium

Searching for the purrfect pair of pumps? Then raid your closet, ghouls, because the official Monster High Shoe Swap is set to take place tomorrow in the Gymnasium (monsterfy) at noon on Friday during lunch.

The program was originally started by none other than Fashion Entrepreneur Club president, Clawdeen. She founded the swap to help find new homes for unwanted shoes, a total travesty. All monsteristas are encouraged to bring their in-shape shoes that don’t quite fit their unique style, but might be fools gold for another ghoul.

“I’m telling you, it’s things like the Monster High Shoe Swap that get me so excited!” raved Clawdeen when we stopped her in the hall for a quick Q&A. “Every year I find at least one pair of signature shoes that otherwise would have gone to waste, forgotten in the back of someone else’s closet. Never again!”

Whether you have a pair of boo-tiful boots, kitten heels or all-weather galoshes, prepare to pack them up and swap them out for a new pair. All unwanted shoes that remain after the swap will be donated to Ghouls of the World, the Fashion Entrepreneur Club’s charity of choice.

Clawd Unleashes His Freaky-Fab Fall Style

Though his sister gets a lot of fashion cred around Monster High, Clawd Wolf is no fashion victim himself; rumor has it, he even takes occasional advice from his sassy sis Clawdeen. The MHGG sat down with him earlier this week to get the low down on a few fall fashion picks that you’re sure to go wild over.

Gory Gazette: Clawd, may we say you are looking very clawesome today.

Clawd: Well, thanks. Actually Clawdeen helped me pick out the shirt and bandanna.

Gory Gazette: Well, of corpse (we would expect nothing less from the monsterista)! Soooo where do you usually shop for your breathtaking bandannas?

Clawd: I like to visit some boutique shops in the downtown area. There is this one really fangtastic shop that imports them from Scaris.

Gory Gazette: Wow, that’s so voltage! What are your fall must haves this year?

Clawd: I’m a strong believer in keeping your look fresh (and your wallet full) with small updates that add extra flair. My favorites are old skull wool hats and tweed vests paired with matching plaid belts.

Gory Gazette: We know quite a few ghouls with mega crushes on you! It probably doesn’t hurt that you always look so well groomed.

Clawd: Well, the grooming takes a lot of time, I shed at least a third of my body weight each day! But I owe a lot to my ghoul, Draculaura. She makes me wildly happy – and that’s the beast lurk a guy can sport.

Gory Gazette: So. Scary. Cute. Okay last question, what is the one fall fashion item you can’t live without?

Clawd: I’m extremely attached to my leather boots! I wear them every day.

Debut School Outfits Score Mass Appeal

By gorygazette

Furrrocious fashion rules the halls of Monster High and no one is as excited for “first day of school” style as Clawdeen Wolf. “As Fashion Club President, I am howling to announce that back to school fashion promises to be absolutely clawsome this year,” Clawdeen wrote in a statement to the MHGG. She goes on to say that she anticipates more than just a few student bodies will piece together freaky-fab, MH inspired, debut outfits that are bound to thrill on the first day of class. Studies show that monsters express their creativity in thrilling ways toward the beginning of a new school year. The Fashion Club hopes to capitalize on this creativity by stitching up a three-page spread for this year’s Fearbook. “We’re asking all monsters to submit photos of their most fangtastic first day looks,” Clawdeen’s memo continues. “We’re just dying to see what everyone has been keeping locked in the coffin.”

Monsters Form Mobs for Fashion

By gorygazette

Fangtastic fashionistas and clawesome style mavens will be leaping into local mauls this weekend for some skin tingling back to school sales!

Monster High’s resident fashion experts, Cleo de Nile and Clawdeen Wolf will no doubt be ready to set the trends this school year. It’s expected that each of them will be three moons ahead of whatever fall trends are haunting designer runways. Also expected to impress are fresh bodies Operetta (with a rockabilly style that continues to thrill) and Robecca Steam (with her hot steam punk lurk). Sources tell the MHGG that these ghouls are also expected to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight this season.

Rumors are flying that the scary sweetest deals will be at Gloomingdale’s, Fangever 13 and Scare-mart.

The MHGG staff can’t wait to get the freaky-fab fashion show started!

How to Snag New Student Style

New student style has captured the hearts of student bodies across campus this summer. Fashion Club president, Clawdeen Wolf was asked to comment on the rising trend:

“Monsters are just dying to work style elements into their wardrobe that reflect some of our freaky-fierce new student bodies. Boys are totally loving Jackson’s geek-chic bow ties and sweater vests. They’re everywhere these days! We’re also seeing a spike in cat scratch clothing (a la Toralei) and stained glass patterns similar to the ones Rochelle rocks. I’ve never seen more unique lurks than Venus and Robecca, but both ghouls totally know how to make fashion their own. Oh, and I can’t forget school songstress Operetta! The spider-web detailing on some of her outfits is totally wild!

It’s furrrocious to see ghouls using each other for creeperific fashion inspiration. The Fashion Club has even put together this fangtastic guide to working the beast student inspired summer styles. Pick up a copy today outside the Home Ick lab and you can be rocking these style tips within the week!”

Summer Sparks in Monokinis

Spring break at Skull Shores may have been magnetic, but seasonal swimwear style definitely doesn’t end there (perish the thought)! The summer months are just starting to heat up and as you know, florals and neon are haunting beaches and pool parties this season. But if you’re on the prowl for a style that furrrociously flatters, take a second glance at the often-overlooked monokini!

Monokinis look great whether you’re sunbathing on the beach, hitting a few monster waves (although you can bet Lagoona always sports a full wetsuit) and most importantly having fun with your ghouls!

To make the look uniquely yours, try pairing it with your favorite floppy hat or a breathtaking sarong. Extra style points for bright neon colors or floral patterns, ghouls! Finish it off with a pair of shades that flatter the shape of your face and voila – a totally voltage outfit that stuns.

Until the next style report, stay fierce ghouls!

Spring Break Style Spirits

By gorygazette

Now that winter is over, it’s time for ghouls to break out their beast spring fashions. The MHGG staff went to none other than Clawdeen & Cleo, Monster High’s ultimate monsteristas, to get the scoop on what they are dying to wear this spring. To start things off in a royal way, here’s Cleo with some exquisite insider tips:

Of course you chose me for a spring style guest post (but I am honored none the less). Spring is about bling. Naturally, I am all about the gold. 24K clothing, jewelry, and even glitter gold nail polish all make for a truly dynastic look! I personally will wear head to toe gold this season; a monochromatic look will always be a superior go-to during spring. If you’re not into wearing all solid colors, jazz up any outfit with a modern bib necklace. Like I say, the more jewels, the better. Totally legendary! – Cleo

Clawdeen is also on the hunt for spring fashion trends that will blow you away. Here she is with another fetching report:

Clawdeen here! Cleo obviously has more of an exquisite and refined taste. Me on the other hand? Think wild and furrrocious. This spring, I’m predicting it will be all about neon colors mixed with prints (cheetah of course!). Whether it’s for school or the weekend, always rock an eye-catching piece. Monsteristas can’t live without a killer handbag so why not switch it up with a neon version? Just remember, the beast fashion truly comes from inside. Wear what you want and be proud of your unique style – it should always reflect your clawsome personality! My motto when hitting the maul? Be Yourself. Be Unique. Be a Monster. – Clawdeen

Whether you love rocking monochromatic, bright neon or anything in between, you’ll be sure to knock ‘em dead this spring if you represent your own unique (and thrilling) sense of style.

V-Day Dance Promises Freaky-Fab Fashion Surprises

By gorygazette

Call the monsteratzzi, this year’s Valentine’s Dance promises to bring freaky fabulous to a whole new level!

Not only does it look like it will be the dance of the century, but it shares a date with the most talked about event this school year - Draculaura’s Sweet 1600. So what will furrocious monsteristas be wearing to this year’s beast party?

The MHGG asked Monster High’s most stylish Werewolf, Clawdeen, to weigh in with fashion advice for the whole pack:

“If your style is anything like mine, you’ll dress to the nines with leopard print pants, a fitted jacket, and a fierce bowtie. Dresses are too last pawty for this wolf to wear! Of course I’ll be rocking gold (my favorite color) and some insane claw boots!

This year I’d pick a freaktacluar plaid dress with layered skirt for Frankie. I’d tie it all together with zebra print platform shoes and a matching clutch! She’s got a magnetic personality that always seems to shine through her fashion choices.

For Ula-D it’s all about pink. To match her worldly age I’d pick a vintage Victorian dress with ghoulishly girly lace. Bows are a must and of course patented leather pink boots would transform the whole ensemble.

But I have to say, my go-to glam look always has a bite of bling. Try pairing sequin shoes with a gore-geous strapless black dress. Add large rhinestone earrings and you’re ready to hit the party totally fierce and fabulous.

No matter what you wear to the Valentine’s Dance, remember to always be yourself, be unique, and be a monster.”
