The Doll Forum

Hi, everyone. Erik's been with me for 2 months now and we want to wish everyone a Happy Halloween. He loves his new shirt and wanted to show it off - so of course I had to break out the camera. We hope you enjoy our photos.

Great stuff, true_blue22! 'bout time you got around around to sharing images of your handsome vampire, Erik. Cool shirt! Very nice to see him here and I hope you're having a wonderful Halloween down under. I hope he remembers to bite his own wrist and heal your wounds "True Blood" style once he's fed upon you!

Hi, Rock13. Thank you very much for your kind comments on Erik's thread debut. I'm falling under my sexy vampire's spell more with each day that passes. He's very caring and considerate, so he does heal me with his blood after he's fed on me. Halloween sadly hasn't been much fun with a scheduled power outage that lasted for 8 hours instead of 6. So I'll have to celebrate it with scary movies tomorrow. I love your new retro-themed sign for the H2K Ranch - it's really cool.

Nice scenery and his shorts made me laugh.

Hi, Studio. I got Erik's novelty boxer shorts at a local discount store and this particular pair worked out perfectly for my "trick or treat" storyline. Thank you for the kind compliment about my bedroom decor. The purple bat string lights add a nice ambience to the room and I got the black lace Halloween curtain from ebay.

Oh Erik! You really look good and your words turned me on! I can only imagine what you do to True and how she feels. She is a lucky gal, indeed!
Happy Halloweenie!

Hi, DG. Erik and I appreciate your lovely comments on our first ever photo shoot. Erik's glad that his words had that effect on you. Oh, yes - my sexy vampire really turns me on and I feel very lucky that he's mine. We hope you and your guys had a Happy Halloween.

After 2 months, Erik's factory-painted eyebrows had all but worn off and he really needed an eyebrow makeover. I chose eyebrow wigs because they look very realistic. Because I'd never done this before, I must have messed around with the positioning of those brows for half an hour before I was finally happy that they were in the right place - I didn't want to mess it up. I'm quite pleased with the end result - and so is Erik.
I used mineral oil to remove the last remnants of his factory-painted brows and soaked up any excess oil with a thick paper towel. Then I cleaned the area with alcohol before attempting to glue the brows on. Human hair eyebrow wigs are expensive, but very realistic. So I was happy that I ordered them. Due to Erik's head being smaller than an average man, the brows were too long and out of proportion so I had to trim them. I couldn't let him suffer the indignity of a monobrow! The difference in length after I trimmed the brow. ps: they shed after being cut. This glue allows the eyebrows to be removed without damaging the TPE if I want to change eyebrow colours. (Thanks to Rock13 for this great tip.) Finally in place where I want them. His new eyebrows look great with his dark brown wig.

OMG, he looks A m A z I n G! I had always wondered what those types of brows looked like and they look great; now I have got to get a pair for Lance and Landon!

Hi, DG. Thanks for your kind compliment on my first attempt at using eyebrow wigs. This pair is dark brown. They'll probably appear way too stark with Erik's blonde wig, so I'll be ordering a blonde pair next. One pair set me back $60 plus $10 postage. That's around 52 US dollars. But it's worth it because they look so good. I'm glad that seeing my photos has helped you to decide about getting a set for Lance and Landon.

Nice brows bro!

That sounded good with the double b-words going on but I have to admit I'm not a user of the term "bro" just wanted to clarify that...

I will admit his new dark look does indeed make him hot, I already miss his bright blond Scandi vibe but to be fair they both work! Maybe it's because underneath all that superficial coloured hair, he is just that. Hot.

Hi, Jimpink - Erik and I appreciate your lovely compliments about his new eyebrows, his different wigs and his rating on the Hottie scale. I must admit I'm not normally attracted to blonde-haired guys. I've always loved the dark hair/blue eyes combo. Perhaps I've been swayed toward the blonde wig because that was what he was wearing in his website photos. I ordered him with the dark brown wig, but WM mistakenly sent me the blonde one. But I've fallen in love with his blonde look. It also reminds me of my other favourite vampire, Eric Northman. And he's pretty hot. ps: your girls are beautiful.

If you want to add some height to the top of his head so it looks more proportional, go and buy cheap padded bra in size DD or larger cup, cut off the rest and use the padded cups under the wig. I do that for most of my doll wigs so they don't look so flat headed. Can also buy a roll of gauze or stretchy Tensor Bandage wrap you use for sprained ankles to secure them and gives you something to attach wig to so it doesn't slip off.

Hi, jazzman. That's an interesting doll hack. I'll definitely keep it in mind. Thanks for that.

Hi, everyone. 6 months ago I learned the basics of using a sewing machine. A few weeks ago I modified a shirt for Erik so it would be a lot easier to dress him. I simply cut his shirt up the middle at the back, hemmed each side then sewed on Velcro tabs. While sewing the Velcro was time-consuming, the end result was better than using plastic snaps. (Photos of my plastic snaps shirt modification will be posted at another time.) The only down side about the Velcro is that it can snag on Erik's body stocking. But it's not a big deal: I just have to be a bit careful when putting his shirt on and removing it. If you can learn to sew - whether you're male or female - I highly recommend it. It's a very useful skill and I'm so glad that I learned how to do it.

This is the first shirt I modified for Erik. ps: those socks protect his hands at night. Right after I'd finished sewing on all the Velcro tabs. I'm quite pleased with my sewing. This is so much easier than raising his arms all the way above his head to get his shirt on. That puts stress on the TPE in the armpits and I don't want to risk any tears. So easy to fasten at the back. The end result. I like how the fabric sits when the Velcro is fastened.
