When I was around 11 or so I discovered how sexy balloons can be . . . and right the way through to university balloons would be my main sexual enjoyment both as a matter of shyness with girls, and in valuation of virginity - which when not long ago I was in trouble with my wife proved actually to have been my greatest asset.
Buying balloons in those years was so difficult. I felt so stupid buying balloons from a shop over the counter. But when I got to the age of fatherhood, no problem, and I still love balloons and inflatable airbeds with four tubes (lilos). Buying a lilo gave me the same embarrassment too. Luckily my wife understood and in intimate moments told me stories about going into a lilo shop and the lady behind the counter asking if I'd like to try one out . . .
But in getting older, these things are not of embarrassment - people sell things to sell them . . . . period.
So buying clothes is not a problem. Ebay is a good source - size 10 - (and I don't buy anything over £10) and sometimes I thank the seller with a link to my posts showing one of my girls wearing them . . . LOL. But going into the local charity shop and buying a pair of high heels on St Valentine's day
did cause some tittering among the old ladies behind the counter.
But for the enthusiasm of the local paper
http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=143&t=54281 and the feelings of my wife, I had thought about having my revenge on the old ladies taking Thera

(well it's for a good cause) - could you find clothes to dress her please?"
On the subject of multiple dolls, dolls are not human and are only the best possible simulations we can have - so it's horses for courses and one doll might not be perfect for everything and they might have different characteristics. In England having two bodies (158 and 168plus) and a selection of heads enables me to be able to bring them to life for different situations

but within this context both my Sandy head dolls have a special place in my mind (if not my heart) second only to my wife with a love that's expressed possibly significantly by
Being monogamous with one's wife might well be a good idea but as dolls aren't as offended (and other reasons), looking towards more than one doll is quite enriching. Variety is a spice of life.
Perhaps you might have special reasons for not ever expecting to have a wife - but you never know. It's important, I'd urge IMO, that a doll might lead forward to one rather than block one. The spirit in which a doll wears a ring can be important and can possibly affect other people's perception, possibly blocking a real lady coming into your life - or possibly bringing an understanding that you're a good bloke who's a seriously faithful sort of guy.
To my surprise, my friend's GF this afternoon couldn't resist getting Chloé to try on one of her rings . . . LOL so you never know.
Rachel:
Harem and Ryan are a couple of old fogeys. Give your girl a ring and don't listen to them! Go back and read my first post in your thread: "My advice to you is dream big, have fun, and keep an open mind."
I'm going to have to have words with your man about you!
OK - I'm an old fogey - I admit it! (Hey - this thread is a lot of fun and, indeed, in exploration of our different perspectives so very important a discussion)

Just this evening I had invited my sister home and showed her my ladies and the forum. She had only seen pics of them before, but she´s fine with that as she knows that I´m happy.
Do I care what people I don´t know at all think of me? No, why should I. I understand though that you hate the idea that someone might ridicule you and your doll. I´d hate that as well, it didn´t happen yet, so don´t worry, do as you feel,
Yes - quite right. When I direct friends to some of my threads on this forum for fun, they're either quiet and we continue being friends without a word said, or they're enthusiastic. My maiden aunt in her 80s and adopted godmother is highly amused and thinks my ladies are great, her friend, a rather prim retired ex head-mistress thinks they're such fun. The blokes and volunteers I work with have no end of amusement meeting them (leading to the Aira hits the headlines thread when marketing one of their cars on ebay) and one of my friend's teenage daughters who saw Aira having a driving lesson
and driving a friend's car one day
in return for doing a modelling job marketing a friend's umbrella
invited Aira to join us at a family BBQ. Wife walked off in a sulk - but that was her problem - I had to make amends and she's a little more tolerating now - but such is life and with wife my approach was not to submit. It's sadly her loss that she doesn't enjoy my doll-life but so many other people appreciate it, I do what I know is right to be done.
When your doll finally comes to you, if you put her on a modelling agency, goodness knows how many more friends you'll find. Perhaps we should start a modelling agency for dolls . . . .
Best wishes

- and he came socially with his (very sexy) girlfriend - who luckily is quite a friend of Chloé's. Having had advance notice, Chloé took out her insert and the respectable blank went in. 
I try to live life now to the full and the extremity of all limits of being alive 
and encouraging life. This is why I enjoy to the full finding my dead effigies (as my wife criticises) coming to life, so that the dead can come to life and all alive can live all the more. Chloé's looking at me in agreement -

hi there buddy
