Got my PIB delivered Thursday!
Re: Got my PIB delivered Thursday!
We also just ordered new boxes last week which will have a slightly thicker wall. As I said, we've had no problems...and that includes with boxes opening or being opened. It just has yet to happen.
We shrink wrap our boxes as well for extra security. If they had been opened it would be obvious.
Fear Not!!

Even with your reassurance, I may request my doll (when I finally order) be dressed in a chastity belt for shipping, you can mail the key.toonist wrote:This whole fear of delivery people trying out dolls is, I hope, some sort of urban legend. Perhaps it has happened to someone else, but, knock on wood, not here.

I think you and Hiroo's woman do the best job. I've seen the pubic patches offered and they're night and day to the work you do.Also, of course we add hair down there. Perhaps there was just some misunderstanding. Personally. I'd leave it off, but there are certainly instances where it adds a great deal of realism to the doll. We can certainly send that along to you.
The main way to preserve the hair is not grind over it. Or have Patrick do some research into industrial strength shag carpet.
Agreed on the freckles. Patrick does great placement. Some overdo it or create the pattern incorrectly. Another kudo to PIB!

Re: Got my PIB delivered Thursday!
It's funny but I'm actually finding one of the more enjoyable aspects of having Allison is dressing her up and taking pictures of her--something that I never knew I'd even be remotely interested in.
It's got me thinking about getting a real camera. (which I'm sure after having spent the dosh to buy a PIB is going to be a really tough sell to the Mrs... )
If anyone is interested in seeing them-- I've posted some more pics of Allison here:

The same phenomenon happened to me as well. I love the challenge.Trevor126 wrote:It's funny but I'm actually finding one of the more enjoyable aspects of having Allison is dressing her up and taking pictures of her--something that I never knew I'd even be remotely interested in.
When I started out Trevor,all I spent on a camera was a little over $200. I got a Sony Cybershot DSC-W350. It takes awesome pictures. I wanted to make sure I enjoyed the photography thing before I got something more expensive. There is a variety of good cameras out there for a decent price. Don't upset the Mrs. though,when my doll got here I spent a ton of money so my wife then gave me a spending limit.
Without a doubt. That's the money shot:A great shot of that PIB booty

Re: Got my PIB delivered Thursday!
have some experience to help guide you on your new ventures. First off, if you want to take serious pictures, you need a camera that has a lens that is
changeable. This means you can grow with your camera as you later on buy wide lens or telescopic lens. Secondly you need a camera that gives you control
over some key lighting issues. A camera that has aperture and speed settings and also comes with pre-programed auto settings. This will allow you to boost
low level lighting situations that a "vacation/consumer" camera which typically cost under 300.00 cannot do. For instance if you shoot in a dark room with one of these
"less expensive" camera's, your automatic light sensor will slow the camera's shutter speed to allow more time to stay open to catch more light. What this means is that any vibration on the camera will cause the picture to blur since the shutter is open longer. So all in all, save your money for a better camera, like a Nikon or Canon inexpensive DSLR camera's, for e.g. a Canon Rebel or Nikon D40 which will take you to a level of control that will allow you to make lighting adjustments cheaper camera's cannot do. You can add portable lights found at the Home Depot, but these lights will only cast warm "White Light" and cause shadows and uneven lighting. It will be obvious when you see the results. So take your time and save up for the real deal. Remember there are lots of great camera's on ebay that camera enthusiast have dis carded for newer models and work perfectly fine. Just some advice from a real camera lover.
Re: Got my PIB delivered Thursday!
I'm thinking I'm probably going to just stick with my iphone camera for now and when I've gone as far as I can with that-- look into getting something at the next level.
I have actually been looking at some camera's on ebay the last few days but I really had no idea what I was looking for.
So I appreciate your giving me some more names and models of cameras that I can research and compare and maybe find something close to.
