My best advice to you is to go straight to the source and read this entire thread.IwillReview wrote:Grubhead!
Wow youve done Exactly what I am on my way to doing!
My 136 little elf is arriving this Thursday. Once I've finished building her little elf hut I am going to bring a JY 150-169 home!
Do you have any tips on how to shop for these cuties??
I saw that! Congrats, man! Great spread (so to speak).Grubhed wrote:Big news. Missy is featured in the January 2019 Coverdoll!!! Check it out!
It is my second favorite. *First being the one with her lying back on the bed with her hair draped over the side.* I almost didn't submit it because the lighting was so different from the others. It was from my first attempt to shoot with all artificial lights. Since I'm not a photographer all I have are house lamps and desk lamps to work with. They almost all looked terrible so I did a re-shoot the next day using natural daylight. But this one photo that you like so much really brought out Missy's inner Diva, which I couldn't duplicate!MoneyMike wrote:Missy is famous now!
Really like this picture the most
Really gives you that "Grovel at my feet" sorta vibe, and gladly I would
I'm glad you like it so much. 
When I first decided to get a doll, I knew I had to get her a gold bikini. It arrived before she did. I have the same weakness as you. Unfortunately most of what's available only comes in black, which is the worst for stains.boobsniper wrote:my weakness gulp!! huge-tight-stretchy-shiny-spandex that gold bikini in your gallery is a real boner maker good job
I have a couple of those outfits of which I took some some photos, but less than an hour into it she was stained. So very limited use, and I can't enjoy her in them for any length of time. 
A Big Congrats Missy and Grubs, and I appreciate the mention as well.
She insists I buy her new clothes, and going to work is the only way I can do that to keep her happy. Besides, knowing what is waiting for me when I get home gets me through the day.StormiLover wrote:OMG!!! How can you go to work and leave her alone all day. I would never leave if I had her to play with! WoW! Just WoW!
We make up for it on the weekends. I almost never leave the apartment. A hard lesson for me, hopefully a doll newbie reads this before attempting to shower their doll.When I first got my doll, I wanted to wash away any factory residue and other possible contamination she picked up during shipping. To be sure it was gentle, I always use liquid baby wash. (Having never been a parent it was weird shopping in the baby aisle at the store.) It was the first and only time I took her in the shower. I wanted to use the shower to be able to rinse her thoroughly. I tried to keep water from going down the neck opening and from pooling up into the standing bolts, (btw the bolts can be adjusted. Don't assume they are correct from the factory.), but I wasn't accustomed to her weight. Wet TPE is extremely slippery! She slipped out of my grasp and hit the ground hard enough to snap the tack weld in her left hip. What the tack welds do is to keep the nut from moving on the bolt, thus maintaining the proper tension. As a result, her hip joint quickly loosened. Now I have to be extremely careful when moving her or trying to pose her. Trying to to stand her for photos is a true balancing act. I've come to refer to that leg as "The Anchor". Now she only gets sponge baths.
Thank you. Coming from you that is praise indeed. You have worked with so many beautiful dolls.Alottahope wrote:That there is a picture of two stunning dolls! Very nice!
There has been a lot of back and forth with Jeff. Trying to decide what will make Nomi happy and since I'm footing the bill what my budget allows. On top of that, making sure the color matches since Nomi decided she wants them from the same place Missy got hers.
