Revisiting Childhood Fantasies?
I'm just someone who's been fascinated by the realism of dolls.
in my childhood, I enjoyed playing dress up with my stuffed toys and dolls.
often creating backstories and fantasizing various imaginary scenarios where they interact among themselves.
I was first acquainted with the existence of 1/1 scale dolls during my early teens.
somehow chanced upon pictures of RealDoll on the web, which was very intriguing at that point of time.
looking for more info, I discovered theDollAlbum. it was a treasure trove of doll photos.
some photos looked uncannily real, as if they were real women posing for the camera.
for the uninformed, it can be difficult to distinguish between doll and human.
it seemed to me that the dolls have an innate life-like quality to them, despite being inanimate objects.
As I reached adulthood, I revisited the world of dolls.
by then, I had moved on from playing with my stuffed toys and barbie dolls.
I wondered if I was attempting to relive my childhood fantasies and taking them to the next level with a lifesize doll?
I learned that since then, many other manufacturers have sprouted.
there were many faces and bodies, but none of my liking.
another few years passed and I decided to get an Ex-Lite to accustom myself with living alongside a doll.
needless to say, her wardrobe grew beyond my expectation.
since then I've gotten a better understanding of how to care for a doll, as the Lite is of a rather fragile nature
Some time passed until numerous manufacturers eventually developed dolls that were to my liking.
I then made the fateful decision to own one.
As part of my fantasy, she would require a name and a backstory!
Introducing Florina Yuan:
She's of part Chinese descent, residing on an island in Southeast Asia.
Despite being in her early 30's, she still maintains a youthful appearance!
She loves to model in front of the camera, having pride in her physique and look...
Here's a shot of her side profile.
Any guesses on her manufacturer folks?

BCD?
...only because it's the link at the top of the thread
Re: Revisiting Childhood Fantasies?
@Fordsy It's just that BCD is advertised on this subforum.
@Franz It's great to have dolls with origins. India is a quite a exotic and mysterious land, especially in ancient times.
I came across Jyoti while researching the WM125 and whether there are any ladies from India.
Seems like Jyoti's the only Indian lass here.
Meanwhile on a sunny Sunday morning, Ms. Yuan awakes...

-princeoverit. One vendor name kept coming up as being great at helping customers walk through the process, Booty Call Dolls. So I decided I would work with them on this first purchase, and did.

Re: Revisiting Childhood Fantasies?
Ms. Yuan is very lovely.
Like you, I've been interested in dolls for many years now.
I have dozens of rare/OOAK dolls and figures that I've had for at least two decades.
Welcome and I look forward to see the evolution of your beautiful girl.
Greats from Salem,
