Re: She's arrived! Say hello & welcome Isabelle (OR156G)

Thanks for the responses guys.
So to answer a few questions....
Isabelle is definitely a 156 G cup, I agree that she looks well endowed in the pictures, that may be her choice of dress and insisting on showing off! She looks exactly as I expected in that respect, I did consider the H cup, but I think I made the right choice, bigger boobs on that size body (approx. UK size 6) would make clothing fitting awkward, she is already bursting out as you can see (not such a bad thing!)
Her skin tone is brown. OR do white, natural, brown and dark brown. I asked that she be the same skin tone as Mary on the OR Dolls 156 dolls page. I think that the lighting is probably responsible for making her look a little darker than she does to the eye. The pictures are not taken using natural light. Again I am very happy with the choice I made regarding skin tone.
The head is the WM 124. I narrowed my choice down to the 124 and the 56. 124 won it, just. While I really like the eyes, I don't think that they are really green, they have more of a golden / yellow appearance. I have the brown and blue too. I wanted to swap between blue eyes with black hair, and green eyes with auburn hair.
So far there is only one area in which I feel that the doll could be improved, but I don't want this to be taken as negative feedback towards the OR Doll. I am very happy with her. This area is the hollow boobs. Before I make my comments, I would love to hear what other people, perhaps with more experience than me, think about them.
VonRubber - When I have more time I will get the Panasonic Lumix out and start experimenting with different light for some better quality pictures. The two week christmas holiday will be an ideal time for this.
Broven - I picked up the non-prescrition glasses from e-bay for £3. I think she suits them.
Vito - Ah Daisy Duke, if only I dare let Isabelle wear a pair of micro denim shorts (I'm too worried about the dye at the moment)! The boobs are soft and look and move beautifully, but I think that they could be improved slightly. But then I cannot compare with any other doll, so they could well be the best on the market. The entire body feels fantastic, the tummy, limbs and backside feel soft to the touch, but firm. You could slap the backside all day long I'm sure! I am not sure I would use the word jiggly for any body part except for the boobs.
Ztar073 - You're absolutely right. I had a fleeting thought about all the website photographs making the dolls look much better than they really are. But Isabelle really does look lovely and I think if anything they are better in the flesh than in the pictures. Really impressed and made up that I went for it.
Arthur - Yes! Well I am sure it must have seemed to take much longer to me than it did to you! Yes Isabelle suits her. And I am already making the newbie mistakes. For instance, while cleaning her yesterday, I found that what must have been talc was kind of rubbing up into a white paste which was not coming off with the baby soft sponge and soapy water so I tried rubbing it down with a white towel. But the towel isn't micro-fibre and so now she is covered in white bits of fluff which are really difficult to pick off. So she will now get a third wash down at the weekend. The wig supplied is also a nightmare, perhaps because I haven't yet applied talc due to her being covered in bits and needing another wash. But the wigs malts badly and the hair is a nightmare to pick from her skin. I definitely need to source better quality wigs.
deerman - Tell me about it!! Great thing is, she doesn't seem to mind what I'm staring at!
Knightshift - I agree, I like B&W photography as a whole and that is one of the better shots. There will definitely be more B&W to come. I am thinking about purchasing some sort of backdrop materials, maybe even some basic lighting.
