The limitations that the loosening has cause is that she can no longer hold her legs raised if lying on her back and her elbows cannot hold a pose between straigh and about 60' bend, after that they stiffen up enough to hold a pose.

The skeleton feels strong, though I think an improved joint fastening would be a good improvement, as the nuts and bolts used are welded together at the factory before moulding takes place. This means they cant actually fail completely, but it also means they cant be tightened

Karrot

cheers for that Karrot! ... not really a fan of things just being welded together without a possibility to adjust later on.

Thank you, Karrot, for the advice.

I like the photos where she's partly covered, though when you photograph from that close and above your subject, you will get distortion and she'll look unnatural (if you take different angles it's best to keep your distance and zoom in) gl

1) A love doll may not allow their human being to focus on anything but them, and must distract their human being constantly with their beauty and charisma.
2) A love doll must dress and pose in photogenic and seductive ways, in order to accomplish the First Law.
3) A love doll must, by every means possible in accordance with the First and Second Laws, cause their human being to fall in love with them, thereby ensuring the proliferation of more love dolls.

So that why i have 5 dolls :haha4:

I'm going to have to make plaque for them

Karrot Thanks for the Posing a positioning info too!

Thanks Chris, Slew, Samfaster and KarmaMusic. I thought Karrot's rewriting of Newton's Laws Of Physics was fitting and extremely funny. I'm pretty sure I had a side ache from laughing the evening I read them. Maybe we should start a new thread of Doll Laws.

I think there is a third law which is along the lines of the heavier the love doll the greater force required to move it

But i can't get the thought out of my head of you trying to do the poses before getting Xaoli to do them even if you meant it in jest

Lets be clear on this, I dont lounge around in my underwear looking like a hairy walrus super model reject

What I mean is if I'm not sure about an arm position, I try it out, see how my arm works and whether or not I can get my arm in to the pose. The same goes for neck and head.
