No offense taken. Just took everything in, wrapped it up and made a conclusion. I think "complicated global economy" is the key takeaway here.

I think what we our dealing with here gentlemen is a company in China that has learned to diversify it's assets, market it's product correctly to various regions of the world, keep it's prices highly competitive, create a diverse network of warehouses and reseller's for easier buying and shipping, and above all create a product that most of us are quite satisfied with. I know I am satisfied. May you pull your heads out of the rabbit hole and thank a Chinese man for wrapping his head around a complicated global economy.

Raven was my first doll purchase also. I am super happy with her. Looking forward to seeing your "progress and story"!

I don't see any evidence from these pictures that anyone is "suffering" from boredom.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

I have seen pics of your harem and I don't blame you for wanting to hunker down with them girls! i am in the trash business and now that people are bored at home they have decided to start "spring cleaning" early this year. We are hauling heavy right now. I appreciate those in the food business, I don't have the luxury of going home to eat. I especially appreciate businesses keeping their restrooms open and clean because I don't have the luxury of going home to piss. :) Thank you. She is a 145 that I got on clearance. She was a showroom model. The head was actually a mistake. Someone at MLD got the order wrong and I received a different head instead of what I ordered but I liked this one so much I decided to keep it. I have 3 MLD girls and they are keeping me sane during these unusual circumstances. Would like to see a picture of the new head. Hope you are happy with it.

Glad to see that some things haven't changed. :)

@Loverofdolls215 i was reviewing my posts and comments and saw this. I got some things to share.

Fraud protection systems vary. I have noticed that mine is very sensitive.

and there is no such thing as "to many questions" or "stupid questions" here on this forum. We want to help you get it right as well.

I agree with @Fantastic Plastic and will add a few things. I have used both Paypal and credit card. I prefer Paypal. The one time I used credit card, Visa's fraud protection system put a hold on the transaction. I had already purchased from MLD and trust them. It was an inconvenience more than anything. When ordering from Paypal it shows up on the bank statement or card statement as paypal. I sleep with my 168 and 145. I have a firm memory foam mattress and have not had any problems with flat butts. If you are going to keep a doll in bed be careful of new fabrics, the dye can bleed into the TPE. If you order a doll it will come with a pink blanket. This is safe for the TPE and I keep my dolls covered with it even in bed. Some joints may be harder to adjust than others but not so difficult to move into different positions. The three dolls I have ordered came with a small manual showing correct movement of joints and safe positions to put the doll in. I would not trust TPE glue or the companies that sell it. There are some very experienced doll owners on this site that can advise you on making proper and safe repairs when needed.

I have used wish.com for clothing. They usually have lingerie in extra small sizes, more so than what I have found on Amazon or other retailers. The shipping time is often long since some of it is shipped from China but I have been happy with the price and quality.

The best tip I can give you is to stay active on this forum. Continue to learn and get the best experience your new girl can provide.

Is this your first doll purchase?

Yes, they are posable. Follow this link to see pictures. https://www.mistresslovedolls.com/forum/general-discussions/100cm-isabella-has-arrived All of the dolls have small wires in the fingers (none in the toes) that are bendable and will maintain their shape. They are not very strong and will not be able to hold an object very well. When not in use, make sure the fingers are resting in a natural state. The wires have been known to poke through the tpe if left in a strained position.

Ok, one more picture for fun. I said, "babe, could you bring me another beer?". She said, "yeah, come and get it!" Thanks for the idea @Loverofdolls215

So I won't continue this thread unless there are any questions or comments. When all of the clean up is done I will perhaps do a family photo.
