31 Plays in 31 Days, #5 - “Girl Gangs”

This one is really silly, as most of my Little Monsters skits are. It’s packed with dumb monster puns, most of which have a germ of something but need sharpening up. Also it involves like seven characters, which will be fun when the time comes to shoot it. But it has bits that make me smile.

While each one of these is supposed to be a totally stand-alone joke, I find myself picking up on the thread of Abbey being a new girl in school who is finding her place in the social hierarchy. Also, Mattel just released the G3 doll for a new character, the ghost girl Spectra Vondergeist, who totally strikes me as another Mean Girl type. So I’ve decided she’s the leader of another girl gang who can be a rival to the one consisting of Draculaura, Cleo, and Toralei.

I struggled to figure out the third Mean Girl in Spectra’s gang. I decided to use Venus McFlytrap— gorgeous doll —but she strikes me more as a cool creative weirdo than a queen bee. Still, I used that for a bit in here that actually is pretty funny. Turn your limitations into inspirations!
