Anywho, I was thinking of upgrading Emily also, but she changed her mind... So, she ain't coming to Muncie after all.
So, having one payment down with Don for Valerie (who was gonna be Jessi, but since Jessi revealed her true self two days before her birthday, but Elisabeth was informed before me, and when Elisabeth and Jessi (who I assumed was Melissa) were talking, and...
Anyway, I broke my previous record of spending 3 hours on the Mon Amour Toujours shop, and spent 5 hours looking for a new doll to recruit into my fold, and she had to have the hallmarks of a Linux nerd, and a Juggalette.

Stop playing with Alexa like that.JessiD wrote:Okay, Alexa, I'm Jessi. I made it back to Muncie when I got here in September. I was back in Virginia Beach for a while when I learned of a family crisis. I knew you wanted the doll which looked like me when I was younger, but I'm not Melissa. Yeah, that is my mother's name, but she actually passed away back in April when I was about to leave Atascadero to come to Muncie. Auto accident on I-264. Luckily I found you! When I saw Elisabeth, I wondered why she was here. She knew I was Jessi all this time. Please don't hate me for that.
Naming was just as difficult. I decided to keep the name of Bianca, but choosing a full name (my thing, dunno why I do that, my reason is that I treat dolls and mannequins like real people and they have to have a full name to round the experience out) was a mental exercise in itself.
Elisabeth chosen Bianca Ashleigh Metcalfe. I asked her why, and she said:

So, informing Don that I wanted to change my order, he canceled my previous order, emailed me a coupon code to apply the amount of the first payment toward the final cost of my new order, and instructed me to submit a new order.
I'm paying less too, because things changed and I have bigger responsibilities to take care of, too.
But that's why Don Delano is the best IMHO. He really went above and beyond the call of duty to help me find the best doll for me without raising hell about it.
That, Don, you're FAM in my book!
MMFWCL, Don. Much Mother Fuckin Wicked Clown Love. And thank you!
