Ava, my latest muse

I shall have to tread carefully introducing Ava as she's from a manufacturer not currently recognised by TDF and who admittedly have caused a bit of a stir with their marketing, however that being said, I can't deny that I do like their Mila silicone head and wanted to start a thread for Ava, as I've called her, as she is currently my go to gal for pics. I trust a mod will pull me up if I overstep the mark but Ava is the first silicone head I've photographed and I'm finding her rather charming! There's no denying the extra level of detail that silicone affords although this being an implanted hair head the silicone is particularly hard. Still her face is so different from all my other gals it's made a refreshing change, especially as Ava has a more mature look, something we desperately need more of in the doll world. OK without further ado, here's a handful of pics I've taken from the last couple of days, Ava is using my OR167D bod which seems to be a good fit....

Wow Arthur!! Ava is amazing and so realistic! I love that first shot with the freckles!

Thanks Mr D, yeah I try and resist using FaceApp too much but the new freckles filter works remarkably well and Ava does have a nice smile too!

Great photos Arthur! She is lovely indeed. The photos make me think it was a hot and sweaty day, and by the end Ava just had to cool off and air out her assets.

Wow, Arthur1960, your Ava is a knockout! She's very realistic and you did a great job of rendering her laugh lines in the smiling images. Congratulations on another charming addition to your magnificent girl posse!

Lovely face, and as you say, the detail is truly amazing.
Nice contrast too, with the red plaid skirt and the patterned yellow top -
well, at least while it was in place

Can I ask what the stir was with their marketing?

Excellently done; she is lovely and incredibly realistic!

Thanks Unwritten, in the end it was me getting all hot and sweaty, Ava was particularly alluring during that session!
Thanks Rock13, yeah the extra detail that silicone offers is definitely impressive and while the harder silicone doesn't make for the perfect bed buddy, for photography it's a no-brainer!
Thanks Studio, yeah we had perfect light that day, sadly its not been quite the same since then!
Thanks Mr Franz, yes she is indeed!
Thanks Flyer, I'm lucky to have quite a collection of outfits here now and I thought the tartan skirt looked nice.
Thanks gogodolls, yes Ava is a most welcome addition, I'm certainly looking forward to getting her in front of the camera again soon!
Thanks Morgan33, can't argue with you there!
Thanks Nanako, yes I liked the colours of that outfit, I think after doing this for a few years now I've finally got a better idea of work works and what doesn't but learning is all part of the fun to be had!
Hi Invo, I think it was aspects of their marketing. Initially some of us were approached and asked to mention their dolls in our social media without actually seeing a doll or head etc, although that could have been down to a misunderstanding due to language? In any event I explained that I couldn't share pics or discuss any doll without having some hands on experience. Now having received Ava's head, I'm happy to share on social media etc although have to be careful on here to keep things rule compliant.
Thanks the living tribunal, yes, in fact a few times when taking her pics I was nearly getting goosebumps as she looked so real!
Ok, here's a few more shots from that last session...
