Calling all furbangers...

Alcide Hervaux is finally ready for Sunday night's finale! Just in time to save Sookie, too! Feast your eyes on the beefcake and have fun kids. Be sure to download the high resolution PDF from my website http://andyswist.com/TrueBlood-dolls.html

I've plans on including more extras for this one in the near future. Who can resist Alcide in that jumpsuit, or that bathrobe? Well, you'll have to make do with the basics for now. ;)

Paper Dolls to the Rescue!

AAARRRrrrrooooooo! Sunday is the True Blood finale and I'm busy getting one more paper doll ready. I've received a lot of requests and speculation as to whom (or what) is coming next, and I thank you for them all. So here (sketch at top left) is a peek at what to expect... can you figure it out now? Regardless, be sure to check out my website later tonight and see the final results.

If you appreciate my hard work, I'd love to know... and a small donation would be much appreciated, too. (just click on the button at the top right of my blog). The money goes to keeping my site up and running for fans around the world: Brasil, Poland, Australia, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Canada, Holland, Croatia, Iran, Mexico, England... and some strange place called the United States. Many, MANY thanks to those kind folks who have already shown their generosity!

To date, I've also used donations to help non-profit causes for charities supported by True Blood actors: the Stephen Moyer Kids Theatre Fund, and The Choroideremia Research Foundation (CRF).

The Kids Theatre Fund helps to produce a Christmas show and provide low-cost transportation for the hundreds of children that experience the thrill of live theatre. Stephen Moyer is the patron of the Brentwood Theatre that created this fund in his honor. To learn more, visit the Brentwood theatre's webpage http://www.brentwood-theatre.org/ The Vault is a True Blood fan site that is currently giving fans a chance to win items autographed by Stephen Moyer with donations to the Theatre Fund, but only until September 30th! Hurry and get your chance to win while helping needy kids http://www.allstephenmoyer.com/stephen-moyer-kids-theatre-fundraiser/

Deborah Ann Moll's boyfriend, E.J. Scott, suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Choroideremia (CHM) which causes a person to slowly lose their sight. The Choroideremia Research Foundation helps in researching a cure and developing treatments. You can help support Deborah and E.J. in their goal to raise $100,000 for Choroideremia research this year by donating here http://ejcurechm.blogspot.com/ or via the True Blood fansite The Vault here http://www.trueblood-online.com/choroideremia-research-foundation/. You can also donate to the CRF directly and learn more about this disorder by visiting their homepage http://choroideremia.org/crf/

There are also many other ways you can help your favorite True Blood actors help their favorite charity:

If you haven't already heard about the "Battle of the Fang" it's a fun contest between Bill and Eric fans to see who's team can raise the most money for charity. Stephen Moyer is supporting the Gulf Crisis, and Alexander Skarsgard is helping the SOS Children's Villages. There's only two days left to battle, so help out your favorite vamp now! http://www.trueblood-news.com/battle-of-the-fang-a-looziana-grudge-match
I'm proud to say that Team Bill is currently in the lead! WOOT!WOOT!


Finally, I've seen Kristin Bauer showing off her whale tail a lot. Of course, I'm talking about the ocean mammal, not Pam's thong! In fact, Kristin's husband, Abri Van Straten, is a talented musician from South Africa and together they both support the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). If you buy Abri's new album on Amazon, Kristin has graciously agreed to include a personalized autograph! AWESOME!! Go to Kristin's website now and order a copy http://kristinbauer.com/Kristin/%22Voices%22_for_Whales.html

I'm sure there's a lot more charities to mention, but these are the ones that are close to my heart. Now I'm off to complete my paper doll! Everyone enjoy the week-end and remember to watch the True Blood finale on Sunday with your new paper doll friends!
