Hehe ...I've become the double 007 James Bond stealth Ninja of deception, but a skill that I've acquired is Hair braiding. I have a Sexy Blonde Doll Named Chantel with basic 3 - 3strand braids but done with my own twist.

I've learned how to dress my elderly mother.

Makeup application is a definite new skill.
Also, I plan on learning how to use a sewing machine so I can make clothing alterations.

I won't claim to have any new skills yet, but I have learned that corduroy clothing should only be ironed on the inside of the material, NOT the outside. (Ironing the outside makes it look flat, and shiny. Ironing the inside gets rid of wrinkles.)

I don't have a sewing machine, but I did manage to make a hap-hazard bikini out of denim, by cutting up some old jeans and sewing it together by hand. It's not impressive, but it taught me that you need to cut curves, rather than straight lines, to make a triangle bikini. (cut it like a triangle, but with the sides bowed out.) Oh, and don't accidentally sew the bikini-string into the fabric, like I did, or it won't be adjustable. (Luckily, mine was lined up right where I would want it to be, so I just left it.)

I've also learned that cutting the sleeves off of an old, grey Tshirt will give you two wig-caps, to prevent dark wigs from staining your doll's head.

And lastly... putting my glasses on doesn't make it any easier to thread a needle.

Sowing , picking up 80 pounds of dead weight like a gangster!
Eyeballing women's clothing and shoe size, tattooing silicone experience and some improvements on my night moves hehe.
Shopping for women's clothing with out shame or guilt is by far my best acquired talent.

styling hair
more informed on quality wigs
improved confidence as I no longer give a shit about dating and what women think of me
I can do make up and know the difference between powder blush and creme blush and how to effectively use them on different parts of the body
I know what womens dress sizes are now and can guess pretty accurately what a woman would be when looking at her
I know the difference between different types of clothing materials such as satin, cotton and polyester
I have got to know myself better, I value companionship far more than just sex
I can walk into a womens store and buy some panties and bra's without thinking twice about it, I also look at womens clothes loads more in a shop then I ever did and think ' my girl would look good in that'

Yeah a lot of chick-stuff like different makeup-things, how to apply it, wig-care, womens and childrens sizes in clothing, modify clothing, proper washing of sensitive cloth materials, etc. On top of that also a bunch about chemicals and ingredients related to maintenance of the TPE material and making sure I'm not using something that would degrade it. I could go on and on about little things.

Not sure where all that stuff would come in handy except for my dolls though

You never know I guess.

On the other hand, I've probably learned a lot of good stuff about photographing indoors, which have been applied to other non-doll situations as well. Got some basic good gear that will probably keep growing with time. Also nice to learn more about photo-editing in Photoshop instead of the usual stuff I work with there.

Beyond some of the ones listed above regarding makeup, clothing, or 'night moves', I've learned how to use a propane torch for practical purposes. Got it to heat up a spoon to perform TPE repairs, but it came in handy last weekend when removing my old shower door to replace with a new one. A few of the bolts were rusted and I used the torch to heat them up so they could be removed.

I will say i understand make up a lot more along with styling hair. Personally, i'm not professional, but it's nice to experiment with my dolls face.
