Another long wait is over. At long last I have my hands on the darling Vampire from the Haunted Beauty series. I haven't taken so many photos of her just yet but I still want to share her. She was released in time for Halloween in 2013 and I have eaglerly awaited her arrival to me. 

Vampire is the second doll in the Haunted Beauty series. 

 As per usual of later years, the shoe type of boxes are jet black. 

The Vampire is a stunning doll with black hair and a rich red gown under black chiffon, yet again set under a gorgeous cape in red silk. Well, poly silk. She is set on a black lining so the red really stands out. Her lips are blood red with two painted fangs. The eyes are disturbingly "dead" as should be, in a reddish color.  

She wears golden jewelry with "rubies". The photos I took of her hand and the ring didn't make it through the editing phase so I need to retake them. No use in sharing a blurry photo, even if you could see the pattern of the ring and the huge red stone. 

With the face of an angel - the Angel of Death?  Well, to be honest it's a Mermaid's face. 

 Dead pale as a friend (Chico) called the skin color. He is dead on. 

The shoes was a bit of a hassle to photograph as the skirt was sewn so tight you could hardly get a finger under it, less a camera lens. I had to snip some threads to get to them. Not so gorgeous with the plastic wrap thingys but they have to stay there for now. Anyway. The shoes are a nice black version with golden adornments. 

I am so happy to have this Haunted Beauty on my hands. In a month the next doll is released, Mistress of the Manor. Another gorgeous doll in historical clothes! And another "Mermaid". I have her on backorder and she will ship to my friend in just a few days if the schedule holds. 

Serafina, the biggest bitch in town, has fallen. Fallen for a guy. She met Theo and got struck, as if Thor himself had thrown a blast at her. Good for her, Theo manages her temper and bad mood swings and actually got smitten himself. How's that for luck? 

Serafina got this new and fluffy coat. Fluff and yellow is NOT her thing. At least she claims so but she actually likes the warmth it brings her in this bad soon-to-be-winter cold we are getting. By god. Snow. In September? 

She takes her dog Lucifer and goes for a brisk walk to meet up with her honey. She brings him a gift... (and I say she has gone love mad. Not her usual behaviour at all!). 

Theo is her hunk in pink plaid. But with short sleeves... So this diva actually took out the knitting needles and made him a sweater! She MADE it! All by herself. Didn't ask Silly Milly the Midget to do it for her, thinking if that girl had set to it, the sweater would for sure have been adorned with love sick puppies or something. Nope. A plain gray sweater. That's it. 

~Awww, Honey. It's ehhh lovely. Not sticky and itchy at all... Love the... color.  

~Look! It even has long sleeves!! Now that's a treat worth a kiss. 

~Just wonder what's up with the neck line? Lucifer also took notice and keeled over, laughing himself to death. 

~Stop it, you silly mutt. I love it! And they go off kissing again.... 

~Well.... How much I love seeing you in that slim and muscle hugging shirt I also brought you a new tee. Maybe it will be better with that neckline. And by the way, I DO take offence to that. I DID make it myself.  Put in a lot of hard work and even drew blood. *hmmppppftttt* 

~Oh yes, I knew that shirt would look great on you. M-m-mmmmmmm. 

~Well, my Kitten, it happens so that I too have a gift for you. I found something that you can wear with your new coat. 

~Hey, what is that thing? You didn't kill a pup, did you? 

Serafina looks very suspicious of the furball he hands over. Well, it feels soft.... 

~No, Silly. Try it on. 

 But WTH? I don't do hats!! And this looks insane... Oh, well, I'll keep it. It does keep me even warmer.... 

Just for the hell of it, Theo tried it on, and just look at that guy. Whatever he tosses on he looks good. 

My Russian Bear. (only he isn't Russian)

 Ahhh, the things you do for love. 

Notes from the Editor: 

Sorry 'bout the lack of props and backgrounds. Not much green screens here and all the furniture and other stuff were tucked away when this photo story took place... You just have to go with the flow.
