To all my #monsterlovers - would anyone be interested in a monster/morally grey swap. I have been thinking about this for a while. I do not think I have seen it done lately. The pic say Sept, but Oct is an option with spooky season. Who doesn‘t love a good monster? Leave 🫀if you are interested. #monstergirlie
