Yet another new member intro
See, I have had the photography bug since my teen years (i’m pushing 50 REALLY hard now lol), but I always stuck to nature photography. But my true interest was in glamor photography. The problem is that wives tend to frown upon their husbands taking photos of scantily clad women, unless that’s their profession, of course. Then, somewhere around the turn of the century I think it was, I saw one of the first RealDoll models and I was hooked. Fast forward almost 2 decades and I am finally at the place where I am emotionally and financially secure enough to have pulled the trigger. Now I have my life sized model I have always dreamed of, even though it’s not a true real doll.
Enough about me, now, about Lagertha. I was really sweating it out for a few weeks. Even more so when I got the tracking number in my inbox. What was this going to look like? Was it going to be what I expected? Well, it turned out that she is, essentially, a 158cm clone of the YL Doll Viola. I was actually relieved when she arrived yesterday and I opened her packaging. It was incredibly protected and recieved in perfect condition. UPS is not my favorite delivery service, but they handled my Lagertha well. Her quality was much better than I expected for the price point. (Just shy of $1k) she has the standing feet option and her limbs are what I would consider stiff without a frame of reference, which is perfect because I ordered her for photography. When I am able to, I will post pictures.
I feel as though I have been long winded enough, so I will finish by saying thank you to all the members who have posted on this forum and shared their wealth of knowledge so that even newbs like me can get caught up to speed relatively quickly.
Thank you all,
Bill

There's a wealth of info on here. I advise checking out the repair and maintenance section for some care tips if you haven't already. I learned a lot there.
Enjoy the honeymoon!

Thank you! We absolutely LOVE your pictures. Extremely inspiring!
I spent quite a bit of time in the M&R section. It’s kind of in my nature. i’m a mechanic by trade so i am naturally drawn to any section named maintenance and repair lol

Thanks! Unfortunately, I don’t think we have an option on the aging thing. Lol
