And just who was it that was ready for action while Mari was still sleeping at 7:00 am...dough boy? Just kidding T; you two were adorable together. Besides, It was to wake up that way together. MMMMUUUWAH! Love you BOTH!

Thanks lancealot2000. I will answer the best I can and start with, well it depends. As you know the PIB skeleton is unique. The newest version offers a very natural movement without having mannequin-like stiffness. With any design there are strengths and limitations that are often connected and off-set one another., not unlike sports cars and luxury cars. Can Marina reach out and hold her arm straight our in space like a mannequin? Not exactly. Can she reach out some with her arm bent at the elbow? Certainly. But when we cuddle on the couch I can put her arm around me, have it stay there and feels like the embrace of woman. I'll take that latter any day. I do address the posing qualities and the feel of her limbs in various scenarios in the on-going review. I hope that helps.

Note to all: I noticed a left out a "NOT" when I mentioned heating pads and electric blankets. I do NOT prefer them as a way to warm her up as they tend to overheat me first.

A few nice pics we took quickly with the iPhone. We call this set "Tuesday Tease"

Nice photo set TJ! Marina, you're looking gorgeous girl! Love the glasses. The innocent but seductive look is a killer!

Thanks guys! These are ALL Mari and her beauty shining through. I just snapped these quickly with my phone because I was too lazy to run upstairs to get the card. That and I couldn't tear myself away from her. I was downstairs practicing some guitar parts for tonight's rehearsal, with my muses near by

. Marina decided after a quite a while that she would tease me a bit. Oh how she knows me. I heard, "TJ could we take a few pictures before we cuddle?" That's when I saw her with her jeans unbuttoned. I put the guitar back on the stand.

Today's review entry
Almost three weeks later, every time I hold her, help her change, or get her into poses for photos, I am still amazed how she feels. The simple fact her beauty comes though even iPhone pics in overhead light, speaks volumes. I did a little cropping, minor adjustments to tone down the over head lighting. I did add a film "light leak" effect on the the last one for fun. So really, these pics are all her.

We will do some real shots this weekend with the new studio equipment.

It has been just over a year since Marina and I found each other at the 2015 Doll Meet, and 3 months since my “new” Marina came home with me. It could not have been a more fitting way to celebrate these anniversaries than with our TDF friends at Hershey! We also had a wonderful bonus seeing Patrick of Private Island Beauties a/k/a toonist here on TDF.

I still marvel at how wonderful it is to hold her and touch her, even just to hold her hand while sitting next to her. It was so wonderful to have Marina meet all of our friends who shared flattering compliments about her. Marina was very touched by everyone’s kind words. Me? I was reminded how blessed I am to have this beautiful, sweet, charming, synthetic partner. I recently had a conversation with a friend on this topic, and words also escaped me; fortunately I remembered that a picture is worth a thousand words. Here are a few thousand “words” to help me express myself.

She got LEGS!
