Hello All!
I figured I would give everyone a quick update with Eryka. Ok, there is the good, the bad and the mediocre. Since it is the holidays, I figured I would get the bad out of the way first.
I am a bit concerned about Eryka's left arm. Now the shoulder joint is loosening up. If I put her arm straight up, it will sag down to about a little less than perpendicular to the floor. While I can pose the arm, it really cannot hold any weight. Unless I put the arm completely straight. The right arm is fine with the exception of the creaking noise the elbow makes. Given that I have had the doll for only a week, I am very surprised to see that the left arm loosened up like this. I am hoping it just stays as it is for now. But I doubt it. I know there are supposedly no warranties on these dolls, but I am going to write Joy a note about it anyway. I am blaming myself for the elbow joint because of the position I had her in the second time I attempted to get close to her. But the shoulder joint loosening up is just out of the blue. Since my intention was to use the doll for posing as well as intimacy, this is a bit of a downer for me. I CAN manage, IF her arm doesn't get any worse.
I know I came across a fellow that mentioned accidentally rolling over the arm on his Dagmar when he was sleeping and that loosened up the arm. Now as far as I am aware, I didn't do this. I even heeded the warning about putting the arms inward and angling the forearms inwards on the body. I just lie down next to her on her left side and she rests her head and upper back on the pillow. Because of the design of her spine, she kind of lies down like if she has a stiff board up her back and as such there is space under her body. So I just reach around with my right arm and hold the right side of her body and pull her close to me. Yes, the left shoulder is in direct contact with my body. But given the position I am in, I fall asleep like that and wake up the same way. Sometimes I do bring my leg up and over on her left leg, but it doesn't stay there the whole night. But that is about it. I never lay down on top of her. So I don't know if the joints are meant to 'break in' initially or if this is indeed a problem. I think it is the latter. In any regard, I am going to leave it be for now.
Next is the good. I managed to get some higher resolution pictures this time, although I do not have many this time. First up...I exchanged her 'dancer outfit' leotard. The first one was a Khaki color, but it was a size medium and the top part seemed a bit baggy on her.

I exchanged this for size small, but that size was sold out in Khaki and thus I got it in grey instead:

Can you see the difference? The small is FAR more form fitting. I notice it not only in the breast area and upper neck area, but also the forearms the fit is a bit more snug. The upper arms still look a bit loose, but it is overall an improvement. It is pretty tight in the abdomen area and I do admit JUST getting the clasp closed. This does confirm how the Dagmar body is a size small in the top and torso, but a medium in the hips. Never the less the taught look through the middle of her body looks great in the grey leotard in comparison to the khaki one.

Next is I was working on a new outfit that centered around a teal colored off-shoulder crop top. However, a package of three fishnet garter style stockings came in the mail and I just put one on her. I was going to then finish the outfit with a skirt...BUT something came up (literally) in which I will elaborate on later. But first the pictures:

Both the crop top and the stockings were VERY beautiful and they fit Eryka well. There was a bit of puckering of the lower hem on the crop top, but the way it conforms to her chest area is amazing. The sleeves do fit nicely around her thin arms. I just love the nice way it frames out the neckline. This is where I wish you could see her collarbones more as this type of top shows off neckline details such as the collarbones. In the next picture you can see the details in the top just contours around her breasts. LOVE IT! Then pan down to check out the awesome stockings! I found these cool for two reasons, one being the incredible detail in the design within the stockings and this is not only at the top, but all the way down. Since I put these stockings over her shiny pantyhose, the sheen of her legs shown through the stockings. Her legs really looked great in these.
Oh! At this time I would like to point out that I noticed that this top is made of that same beautiful material as the halter bustier / bra is as they felt the same. In addition the shiny white pantyhose had this feel too. So I did a bit of research in regards to the items that had this nice soft silky smooth feel and I did find a common denominator....they are a Nylon / Spandex blend. It seems that clothing items made from this blend will be very stretchy, but also very silky smooth to the touch.
As I was putting the stockings on her and checking her out in the crop top, I could feel a VERY strong attraction to her. I loved the way the fishnet stockings looked on her.
Now I was going to put a skirt on Eryka and I had her sitting on the bed. I then remembered another doll owner having his doll lean back with her hands behind her and I wanted to try this position out on Eryka. This was the end result:

I stepped back and got a good look at her and just said, "Wow!" I right away snapped a few pictures and in between I started to just check out every curve and detail. My eyes were all over the place. Boobs, legs, arms neckline. BAM! It suddenly hit! Yup! Eryka finally got a full arousal out of me. It was just yesterday when Byakuya Kuciki mentioned this very same scenario he experiences when dressing his doll. So unfortunately (or should I say fortunately?) I never actually finished her. So while I had the moment, I decided to get her in position for doggy style. Looking at her backside in this position was amazing! The Dagmar has a VERY beautiful shape from the back and that certainly helped my current situation.
Now for the mediocre. Despite getting so close this time, trying to get the lubrication and everything in place attempting entry was certainly much more difficult than I anticipated and I ended up losing the moment.
So I wasn't happy about that. At this point I had to clean up and when I was done with that I was tired and decided to call it a night. So that was why this outfit wasn't completed. I AM going to revisit this outfit or a derivative of it.
While this was another fail, this time I came closer than any other time and I think it was the combination of several things, but by far it was the clothing choices. I have always found off-shoulder and halter tops and dresses very attractive and even with Eryka's very thin arms...I found them attractive in that top. Then there were the elaborate fishnet stockings on her legs. I think what my eyes were seeing was finally breaking through that psychological block. So I am hoping that the next time I will even progress further.

Some mornings when I don't have to work i just love to spend an extra half a hour to a hour in bed spooning up to Cammy, or Jewel, my Textile, and listen to a good audio book- it definitely adds a level of intimacy to doll ownership.
Too bad my bed ain't big enough or I'd have one of them on either side!
Oh yeah!..I quickly found out first hand the temperature differences of Eryka's face and you know where else. But her face warms up after a few moments of putting my cheek against hers. Also kissing helps warm up her lips too. Warming up the other spot has proven to be a challenge especially given my situation. Warming up her womanhood proves to be more challenging as that can get cold too. But if I am lying next to her and rest my arm over that are with the covers over us, that area does warm up too. However, in the situation I encountered above, I had to move fast!
You would probably envy me then as I have a king size bed at the house. Plenty of room for two dolls and me! LOL! Sorry, didn't mean to rub it in. But yeah, I do have the room should I need it.
