Re: 1AM Katie Review
Begog, i think the feets were a victim of two things: posing on her feet for photos while having me shift her around and pose her. The material would skid on carpet as i moved her about. I wasnt thinking about thick socks or being slower and more careful. The second activity, to be open and blunt, was standing up, bent over doggie. Lot of carpet friction and metal skeleton weight on those poor, bare little tpe feets until i noticed the tears starting. Now, theyre taped up. i put cushy socks on even over sexy stocking. I dont know if that helps. no pics w/o unwrapping. Description: picture a finger poke or wrist poke. Dark screws. Despite a clear, if minor difference in durability, i will not be going back to silicone anytime soon.

somebody asked if Katie was a WM doll. she was listed as exclusive on 1 a.m. dolls USA website. that's where I got her. That website has other dolls that show up in WM dolls and your dolls and beautiful dolls.com. i think. I'm not sure if they are the same company, or one makes them and the other sell them, something like that maybe. Katie was from 1amdollsusa.com (i hope i got that right.)

I've had color transfer in the past even from clothes that I've washed a bunch of times, but it happens moreso with newer clothing that has only been through the wash two or three times. Whenever I do laundry I fill up a "delicates" bag with my favorites for her and toss it in with my wash. Over time I guess the veteran clothing becomes safer.

These are the pics I have ready to go atm
Katie saying bye to a friend (a friend who'se been spoken for for a while, but not shipped/paid yet.)
I just bought a house, I'm in the process anyway, so money is an important factor. I am having thoughts on converting Katie to cash, as sacriligeous as it seems. It may not happen anyway. Between her broken wrist and split feets.... not too sure if there would be any interest. I haven't decided yet. Just planting the seed.

Re: 1AM Katie Review
more later. I'll remember to measure and take that specific shot when I have more time
of course there will be questions about who the other one is.
Shael, a.k.a. Jennifer. I think from "Yourdoll." Don't worry. You're not interested. Well... maybe for photos, but for play..... terrible. The head falls off if you so much as think of her, then, due to the mechanics of what holds (or doesn't hold) the head on, you risk oil stains on the doll putting the head back on. Terrible. The doll is gorgeous and squishy and lovey-dovey, but is of no use to me if the head falls off every time you even think about touching her. Yourdoll (or whoever makes her) needs to rethink the head attachment. if they do, they may have my future business.
I sold my PIB or that reason. Different style of attachment, but same result. I could be at work, nowhere near the doll, but if I happened to think about the doll for a half of a second the head would fall off.
anyway, enough about all that...
I hope you folks like my pictures. Someday I want to spend time with photoshop and maybe some background niceties. For now its just sorta as-is, on-the-fly.

If buying new, I would buy from Iamdollusa.com. (or is it 1amdollusa.com? both the i and the 1 work)
They have been a great company to go through and I am thrilled with their doll and their customer service. They answered my questions quickly during the buying process. I have also ordered stain remover through them, right through email (paying afterwards through paypal) and it shipped quickly. I think I was going through a representative named Brent and he was excellent.
As for how long Katie lasts: I still use her now and then, even after buying a 2ndhand 155 cm "barbie/shannon". Other than damage to her feet from standing her up too much with bare feet (and no standing foot option), and doing something very rough with her neck (my fault) she's been very reliable.
She lasts just fine. The only tearing was in the anus upward (toward the area an anus should be). I had no tearing at all between the anus and vagina.
Key concern: If you are going to be standing her up, get the standing option. I don't think this existed back when I ordered her. I did a lot of photography with her, and stood her up quite a bit, and her feet suffered. STanding option should help. Also, I started putting ankle socks on her (my small ones. Normal white socks, like gym socks. What you'd wear with sneakers. Over that I put on short sexy boots. I do this with my new doll too and it seems to help prevent wear and tear on her feet.
Last concern, and this goes for any doll: if doing doggy style, or leaning her forward, do NOT have her holding herself up by her palms. The wrists could break that way, and possibly start going through the tpe skin. Prop her on her shoulders, or a pillow, or don't do it. No straight arms with all her weight on her wrists. Learn from my mistakes. I don't think you should do that with any doll. If anyone has homemade solutions for that, let me know (like a homemade gadget that goes over the forearms and allows you to do those poses without ruining the doll's wrists.)
anyway, I'm likely being too verbose. I'll close this up.
again, if going new, I would go 1amdollusa.com. Great company. (I have not ordered from wmdoll or ordoll yet. they may be fine too, but I had a great experience with 1amdollusa)
