That is such an incredibly cute photo.

Some new clothes arrived today (thanks GG), and I sure put them on for a quick fotoshoot.
I like the new shirt very much, it is somehow personalized.

[VegasBill]

She's very very nice, congrats.....

[DollAfficionado]

Wow! The clothing is very flattering on her.

[GirlsGang]

Thank you VeagsBill and D.A. for the nice comments.

Today I got a new foto-background and asked Ivory if she would assist me in trying it out.
It didnt cost me a lot of words, but see yourself...

Honestly, without me the bg would be boring right?

Do you like landscape ...

Oh yes, she has some self esteem (and I like it)

I was debating about getting one of these dolls months ago, they look really cool and I have watched all the vids in how they make them. There are a lot of BJ dolls out there and if you compare the cost to the anime type ones, these are half the price. They look great for posing and would look awesome when standing in your room, it's just a pity the clothes are so expensive, I know they are custom made but even human custom made clothes are cheaper. Maybe i'll get one when I have some extra cash lying around. Did you have to pay customs tax on yours?

[GirlsGang]

Hi kruiser,
since I live in Germoney, I had to pay 19% import tax and 6,5% customs fee (rate for dolls).
1/4 added to the original price (incl. shipping) is something
Clothes mostly pass customs without any fees.
Clothes quality is very high and doing them in that scale (1/3) is pita (imho)

ahh I had a feeling you would be hit for maximum tax because it's all the way from japan and not china where they put a lower cost down on it's worth. So how much did you pay in total? They look great for taking pics.

[GirlsGang]

I ordered some clothes with her, iirc something around 650 €.
I had to pick her up at the local customs office and bring the printed paypal transfer, so the lower value stated by smartdoll did not work (approx. half the price). Even it is my money, I prefer the senders stating true value, it is less hassle for me.

[Karrot]

I was lucky with Mirai and Kizuna in the the UK. Still got hit for Tax/Import Duty, but worked out to be around 10% on them. Still, the 2 of them with extras still worked out to be about £1100


Worth it?

Yeah! Totally!

They say Hi for their Sister, and look forward to meeting up in September! At least i think that's what they said, I don't really understand a word of Japanese

I like the use of the railroad track background.

[GirlsGang]

Karrot,
Ivory sends back greetings to her sisters on the big island. She is asking every day how long it will be that we start driving there (apparently problems with german calendar).

D.A. thank you for the comment. there will be more pictures with that background (maybe with the minis).

In the gangs household, there has been shoes time the past weeks starting with Honey getting High Heels in red/white and Leonie with the black ankle boots, so I had to do something for Ivory.
And today she didnt ask for the day of our travel, but see yourself...

Of course her existing shirts did not match with the elegant shoes so I surprised her with a new blouse as well

After the shooting she vanished in the bedroom to show her new outfit to the other gang members

[Koen]

Ivory sure is adorable. And I love her outfits. I can imagine that you are most pleased to have her in your gang, GG.

Looking forward to see her at the meet in September.

Great excitement in the GG household today.
The postman dropped a parcel and I called Ivory if she would check on the contents
