Vampire in the House, Pullip Elisabeth (img heavy)

My longed-for Blood Countess arrived and I wasn't the only one eager to take her out of the box…

J.D. Ichigo rushed to help…

Heart 2

“There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights.”

She took his adoration in stride, her alabaster repose unruffled.

*Note to self, take away J.D.'s copy of Dracula, it's making him loopy.

Heart 2

Isn't she beautiful?

““Strong women are absolutely unpredictable.”
Dammit J.D., now you've got me doing it! No more Anne Rice for either of us.

Heart 2

J.D. was not amused with the devilish amounts of tape and ties between him and his countess.

I thought it best to give him reading material while I worked on liberating her…

For a second I thought that Groove had sent me a legless vampire… Oh My

…but it turns out she was just tucked in weirdly.

Heart 2


Everybody and everything removed from the box…

Updated, but not finished just yet. I realize I was so tired last night I screwed up my sequence of quotes. Dead

I'm still unwrapping her; life keeps interrupting with petty demands: meals, bills, work, sleep. Tongue

Tape and ties, the bane of doll collectors' existence. As it turns out though, most of it came off pretty easy. Cheap tape is not made to last 5+ years. Sweatdrop The threads proved more difficult as the knots were very tight.

Thank you. Heart I think she's the one he's been waiting for as he didn't show much interest in any of the Goth girls in my collection. LOL

Post photos! The world needs more Groove Vampires!

I read the entirety of the Vampire Chronicles when I was in college. I think Interview/Lestat are classics, but I didn't connect with the rest of the series. Rice said in a 2005 Bookpage interview, "Once I returned to the Church…my identification with the vampires as outcasts, as outsiders and lost souls began to totally wane. It no longer worked for me." I think the later books in the series reflect that.

He's in love, but I'm going to have to intervene if he starts eating flies, spiders and Death's-head moths.

I'm very happy with her. I wish I had minion goggles for him… xd



I knew that it would almost certainly be the case so I'm not upset, but if there has been one tiny downside it's that this beautiful girl is severely stained. My first clue was when I went to remove the plastic from her arms; I spotted patches just below her shoulders.
[Image: Elisabeth-debox-14.jpg]

I hoped for the best, but the full monty revealed all.
[Image: elisabeth-body-staining-00.jpg]

Her beautiful Spanish dress did the damage to her arms and bust. The waist could have been the dress or possibly the petticoat. Strangely, her black bloomers didn't stain her at all.

Neither Pure Neemo or Obitsu bodies come in "dead flesh" Tongue so I'm going to hold out hope that Groove re-stocks the Pale MIO kits I've been waiting on soon.

In the meantime, I think I'm going to try a round of "clean and clear".

For giggles…

Who Wore it Better?

She's absolutely gorgeous, congrats! I hope you can at least lessen her staining a little bit. <3

How cool is she! Vampires seem to have more fun! I'm so sorry to hear about the staining, but there is a price to pay with such awesome black clothing. Also her stand is such a pretty color!!

Ursula is a beautiful name. I am sorry about staining. I wonder if there is a way to bleach that. They love to cover a bunch of other dolls , I wonder why they didn't take that route for this poor little undead smile
