Claire was a bit envious of Lyra's recent flower photo shoot and wanted one of her own, so what could I do but find another pretty flower outside and adorn her with it?

She’s pretty angelic.

Both are beautiful, brother

Good info about the loose joints. - Didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing

Thanks, man! Yeah, Claire's a great cuddler with her loose joints, whether in bed or even just on the couch. I love her!

WOW! Fantastic update ...great photo sets of your beautiful Claire! I love her natural and attractive poses!

Well done Jonathan, thanks for sharing! BRAVO!
Cheers!

I'm glad to see you and Claire are still together; she's very pretty. My very first gal Chastity was also a DS145, though she is a plus model. I've always felt the 145 had an exceptionally beautiful shape; their legs are so long and shapely you really can't tell they are that petite. I'm glad you have put up some more shots of her so others can also see. Wishing you both continued happiness!

Thank you, Gogo! Claire is fun to pose in different ways because it's so easy to maneuver her. And after a shoot, she's easy to to cuddle with, too. She's super special.

Thanks for the kind words and wishes, young guy! Yes, the 145 body is so perfectly proportioned and attractive that you can't help but be charmed by it. The 145 had some of DS's nicest heads, as well.
I hope your Chastity is still with you, too. These are great dolls to live with

I’m seriously considering a loose joint doll for a future order. I laughed when you said breaking a sweat with tight joints. It really is like that with me. Especially the legs. Whoa. I have a 166cm sevo utopia series. And her leg joints give me a workout. My arms are jelly after a session with her. I’m into posing my doll, but I also like to have sexy time with them. I’m wondering how much I’d be able to pose her with loose joints. I’m hoping over time, the joints will “break in” and loosen up a bit. But man. What a workout !

What skin tone is Claire ? I really like that.

Hey, Tiny.
Hahah, yeah tight-jointed girls can give you a workout for sure. Their most used joints will often loosen up over time, though. I have a tight-jointed doll from another brand, and her right hip joint has become fairly loose after 2 years of having her sleep on her side with her right leg draped over me. The repeated motion of bring her right leg up over me at night and pushing it back down when getting out of bed in the morning has loosened up the hip joint significantly, and the knee joint a fair bit, as well. But that makes it easier to cuddle with her, so I'm not complaining

EX's loose-jointed dolls are awesome, though, if you want to go that route. For other brands, "loose-jointed" may mean floppy, but EX loose-jointed dolls still have some resistance in their joints, which is very helpful. They can't hold elaborate poses, mostly because they can't hold their arms up or out in front of them. But they can sit up and even stand if they have something to lean against. So they're not the best for photography, but they're great for cuddling and playtime

And Claire has the Light Pink skin tone. I'm not sure if EX still uses their old skin tone system now that they've started doing realistic body painting. My newest EX doll was ordered in what they call "Natural", and that color is a shade or two darker than the old Light Pink that Claire has.

Wow!!! Thanks for the reply ! It was very helpful. I think I’m going to order my next EX doll with loose joints. Good to know that they’re not “floppy”.
