PLD, Blair

impyG'ah, I should go to sleep soon. But until then, I'll blather on about the latest book I finished reading. Pretty Little Devils [Nancy Holder] is pretty much what would happen if you tossed Jawbreaker, Heathers, Scream, and Mean Girls into a blender and pressed start. If none of the above appeal, then obviously not the book for you. :p I don't even remember picking the book up, but it was on the top of my book heap, so I figured what the hell.
You ever get so wrapped up in a fictional world that you need time to come back down to reality? Yes? No? Am I insane? Well, I'm still firmly intangled in Hazel's strange little world, and up until the end I was totally enthralled. Had I not been rather tired yesterday, I probably would have read the entire thing yesterday.
Summary: Hazel wants to be popular. The Pretty Little Devils are popular. So naturally Hazel ends up becoming a PLD. You knew that was coming, right? And you know something bad has to happen, what with the description I've given you. That's right, right from the first chapter, you know someone's plotting against the PLD and the book jacket tells you three will die.
Right up until the end, I was still waffling over who the killer was. I figured it wasn't the obvious right about the time I realized I still had three full pages left and the bad guy was seemingly taken out of the picture. Gasp! Then I went back to my original choice for the killer.
But I don't get why she did it. Or, rather, I get the why in general, she wasn't stupid and was being treated as such and hellllllloooooo crazy, but why'd she kill the last two? Technically I can figure out the second if I think about it hard enough, but why kill Megan? Just to implicate Sylvia? Or did I miss some anti-Megan thing? Was it Meg trying to get rid of her from the PLDs at the start? Confused.
Hey, someone other than me could read it, remember I wrote about it, come back and answer the question. :p Anyway, good stuff. Well, until the last page and then you kind of lost me once I started feeling like a four year old and asking but why?
Next order of business. Holly! The doll, not HMC.

Because I care so much about the friends and their friends pages. I care!
Now. To Holly, who unless I'm struck dumb by the inability to call her such, will be called Blair. If you got that, then yay. Or hi, A2. ;)
This is Holly/Blair. She's beautiful. So beautiful that, y'know, she has no in box photos, because I couldn't wait. Oh no, I could not. I think she's quite the little lady, though like Alice, she has lip issues. Blair's issues are that they seem to bleed into the rest of her face at times. Which I guess is the opposite of Dru's problem of having really thin lips.
So. Friggin. Pretty! I know, that's one hell of a classy way to put it, huh?
Old school glamour puss, she is.
For those who don't have their own, or frequent the forums and have yet to see this angle a thousand times, or really wanted to see my fingers. Kink? But that's the hair from the back. So. Much. Hair. I've been told [and normally I smirk until my face hurts upon reading things like that] that until I absolutely must, I cannot take her hair down. I think my mother doubts my ability to recreate such a pretty look. For good reason, I might add.
With the hat of doom...
And the full effect. Ice queen!
Shoesies.
It's tough to be so pretty.
zzzzzzzz
So. Uh, Blair-Holly's face? Is it supposed to be a different material than everyone else's, or is it just... different?
Also, her freakin' glasses have left marks on her face and Greggia's. [That'd be Calli.] That's just uncool. And yes, her outfit will stain. She's got the start of a couple of stains, but it's nothing to whine about. Just proof I was correct in changing her outfit. Yay. But that's pictures for tomorrow.
