M&S's Flickr Greatest Hits!

First post on this blog, hello everyone :-D

OK so I wanted to begin this blog by doing a compilation of our best photos that we have on our Flickr
(here's a link to our photostream: https://www.flickr.com/photos/marikosusie just in case ^^)
We've been there for more than four years now (time sure flies when you're having fun haha).

Let's start with our most viewed, which are these two Halloween themed picts:

From left to right: Cleo de Nile as Spiderella (a classic Halloween costume, don't you agree?),

Deuce as a skeleton, Draculaura as a witch,

Clawd as Harry Potter (renamed Hairy Clawder by one of my Flickr contacts xD),

Pumpkin Queen Clawdeen and Cemetery Ghost Frankie.

From left to right: Spectra as a Fairy, Abbey as an Angel,

Lagoona as a Mermaid and Ghoulia as a Devil.

The backdrop in those two pictures is a Nightmare Before Christmas poster by the way ;-)

I love these photos because my sister and I had a very good time coming up with their costumes
(and we did this only days before Halloween!) so it makes me really happy that they're our top
most popular photos :-D

Most of the costumes were actually handmade and I think the craziest one was Deuce's skeleton outfit.
It was made by sticking (well stitching actually) one of those skeleton toys they sell you at a $1 store
around Halloween time.
I was pretty proud with Abbey's Angelic outfit and Ghoulia's Devil costume, it was really fun making
the wings, halo, horns, tail and the pitchfork xD

I love these Halloween pumpkin lights sooo much!

Another thing, I remember the Monster High official Facebook featured the first photo on their wall
which explains why it got so popular (but that happened two Halloweens after we took these picture
LOL).

Another Holiday themed shot, Flickr considers this one our second most interesting photo:

 

And this one is the first most interesting:

(I need to do a remake of this one now that I have more pets.)

Another interesting photo that I love:

Now, onto the most Favourited:

The Corpse Bride Emily (who technically is a zombie, right?) with Ghoulia Yelps.

This picture is not actually our most favourited one right now on Flickr but it was the most favourited
one for 4 years so I thought she deserved top spot in this blog post.

Another top picture I personally like a lot:

    
I got the idea for this after noticing that Venus' hairstyle was similar to Dubstep artist Skrillex.

The backdrop is my computer's screen and the outfit is from a BeGoths doll

(I'll talk about those at the end of this post).

Next another popular photo that I had fun making and adding special effects in Photoshop:

This picture always makes me think of the X-Men.

And I think we're going to end this Greatest Hits post with some more of my favourite most popular shots ^__^

One more thing, remember the BeGoths dolls I mentioned before?

Here's our first pict we ever posted on Flickr:

That's a BeGoths.

Those were the dolls we collected before Monster High existed, they were Gothy and fun and

of course we still have them, they're happy living on their own shelf ^__^
You can see more photos of them here:

OK so thank you so much for making it this far and now that I've introduced myself (or introduced
us, me and my sister's work that is haha) I hope to write informative posts in the future with tips
and tricks on photography :-)

Love <3
Mariko.
