Erin is here!

My OR 156cm doll with head #47 has arrived. I ordered her from Jeff at BCD precisely three weeks ago. She was stuck in her box at the factory for the better part of a week because of the pre-CNY slowdown. She was very glad to get out of the box, even if it meant spending hours in the bathroom being washed, then waiting to dry, being washed again, and so on. (For any newbies who might be reading this, see here and here for information on caring for TPE dolls, including the initial cleaning routine.)

So has Erin's twin arrived at your place yet, or are you still waiting?

Well, I live in "bush" Alaska. She flew from Anchorage to "bush" Alaska & back to Anchorage yesterday due to high winds & an inability for the plane to land. They will try again tomorrow & with any luck she will catch her connecting flight to me sometime Thursday around 3PM AK time.

Congratulations on having this lovely at home now.
I'm sure that after her trip, getting clean and powdered helped to put that ordeal behind.
Valentine's day is just ahead and she will be looking forward to enjoying it with you.

Here's hopping her sister gets home soon too.

I'm sorry to hear of your delays. According to my tracking data, Erin traveled from Hong Kong non-stop to the FedEx facility in Memphis, Tennessee, then on to me in New England. If yours went to Tennessee, too, that's quite a circuitous route!

FWIW, the outfit is this one from Target.

Grats! I'm happy to hear she arrived safe and sound. She looks great.

It's snowing now in New England. Erin's never seen snow, so she was interested to witness it....

She has informed me that I've been remiss in not getting her any hair clips -- her hair kept falling in front of her face!

I got told off for the same thing. Since I bought some shes never had them in.

Shes really pretty and I love her hair colour.
