The heisters occasionally hold ‘Slides Parties’.
The premise is very simple - any heister who wants to participate as a presenter can do so. They must prepare and present a short PowerPoint presentation on the topic of their choosing - and it can, indeed, be on absolutely ANYTHING - under 10 minutes in length, and then their captive audience are free to ask a few questions before the next presentation.
Of course, sometimes the presentations descend into chaos, because the presenter is a chaotic entity - nobody expected Duke’s presentation to be of this sort.
“Well,” Duke began, smiling broadly at his audience, “it’s so wonderful to have the opportunity to talk to you all about my passion - art!
“But I am no fool. I know not everyone shares my appreciation for paintings and sculptures.” He sighed, as if disappointed in his coworkers.
“So that’s why I thought I’d share with you my favourite - and I’m trying to use language all of you will understand - horniest art.”
He clicks the mouse, and this image appears on-screen:
“First, we have Perseus with the head of Medusa by Cellini. Lovely work, truly - but perhaps we ought to rename it Perseus with a bubble butt. I believe it was Sydney who taught me that, ah, delightful phrase.”
Sydney nodded, grinning and cackling to herself in the corner, a can of beer clasped loosely in her fingers.
“Now-” Another click -
“Does anyone know who this is?”
Immediately the heisters began shouting out various theories.
“Jesus!”
“The angel Gabriel!”
“BAIN!”
Raucous laughter, followed by a hollow beep, and: “I wish.”
The suggestions continue, until finally someone gets it.
“My next Grindr hook-up!”
“Satan-”
“Yes! This is Lucifer, the fallen angel, the devil Himself.”
“Damn,” Sokol whistled, leaning forward on his knees with his elbows, “really do wish he was next Grindr hookup. He’s a... handsome devil.”
Duke managed to only show one more picture before his time was up.
“This has all been rather... male centric so far. So, how about the Ecstasy of St Teresa? Uh, literally.”
“What,” Hoxton asked, once the uproar had somewhat died down, “err. What’s got her so...”
“She’s having a religious experience, of course,” Duke answered, barely able to contain his own laughter. “She’s having a most holy, spiritual moment, Hoxton.”

i know its corny as hell and curmudgeonly to shit on the new generation of monster high designs, but i really don’t like what they did to lagoona. she looked a million times better blue than she does pink and she looks so much less unique now :(
i like they gave her a ponytail, and i like the pearl details in her hair, and her freckles are ADORABLE- but man this design is just kinda a smear of rainbow to me with a vague "sporty" vibe.
i like the idea of making her fins look more functional, but im also quite distracted by the fact she doesnt have webbed fingers, for some reason?
i also like that they made her fin-ears look more cohesive!! they looked kinda wonky in the OG design and- idk, i always thought they looked more like a part of the hoodie, rather than a part of her anatomy. having her hair pulled back really help them stand out. (while i don’t really like how they gave the “athletic” character big chunky earrings and a pointless ponytail holder, the OG design had that massive goofy seahorse necklace, so it’s not like this is a new problem)
i appreciate how, even though g3 is more "tame" compared to the OG designs, they let her keep a little "fishnet flair" into her new design!
honestly, i don’t hate the silly octopus sandals, even though i don’t think they fit too well with the rest of the design. still, they’re just so goofy looking, i can’t bring myself to hate them.
also why are her eyebrows so damn dark for no reason? idk if its just me but its like, very weirdly distracting?
i really like the idea of giving her an oversized hoodie i would do it unzipped over a bathing suit top looking undershirt- if an oversized hoodie is all she gets on top it kinda swallows her up and makes her look boring and not at all freaky, chic and fly :(
i miss her crinkly curly hair and flower hair pin sm :(
