Weather's getting cooler. Favorite time of year. Almost sweater season.

Seems the more casual/natural I dress her, the more at home I feel with her. Best companion ever.

She looks so natural and pretty dressed like that. It really suits her. :)

Hi lbl,

you do have this clever knack of making Jen look so natural and casual. Maybe that's because she is. :D

She does though ......in whatever she decides to wear that day. The jacket and shirt combo look really nice.

Lovely to see her again. It's a wonder you get anything done round there. :D

Hi LBL,

I have a picture of Jen to share from the doll meet.
She always looks so happy. Like she is happy to see you. She's truly beautiful.

Lilbitlonely, Jen is such a beautiful doll. I just looked at each page of your "little corner of the forum." I think it is wonderful that you dress her up in very simple clothes, and every once in a while she becomes Superwoman. I also like your reference to the J. Geils Band. That was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid. Jen is an 80's gal, huh?

It is incredible how much they do without doing anything.
My beautiful Annie now has her very own account on TDF! :) viewtopic.php?t=146179

Thanks Broven. Yep... just the average girl-next-door type, who brightens my day every time I see her.

Thanks, and yes, all of the credit goes to Jen.
What can I say? I like her style, but I'm just the guy who's lucky enough to be with her.

Thank you for sharing that photo - that's a really nice shot.
I agree: She has just the perfect little hint of a smile. Nothing extreme. Nothing fake. Just quietly pleased.

Hi GooseLooney, and thank you. I brought Jen home mainly for the companionship, so she dresses for the part - Well, most of the time... She does like to catch me off guard by sporting a new costume every now and then. Says it keeps things fun. Yeah, she's still got a bit of the 80's in her.

Great photo LBL, I agree with everyone else, she's very pretty in a natural looking way. Great outfits will do that for dolls. :thumbs_up:

The new doll: SM156A - Love it!

A new (old) camera: Nikon D2100. Standard 18-55mm lens. It's nothing like my other camera... so please forgive the regression of any photographic skills that I may have accidentally acquired previously. Seems I need to figure things out all over again.
Anyhoo... Here's a few shots of the new girl, taken with the new (old) camera, which I still don't know how to use.

And Yes... In the first picture, I Photo-shopped Jennifer into the lenses of the sunglasses. (shortly after coming to the realization that this newer camera actually had enough resolution to display my reflection in them.) I asked Jennifer to take the rest of the photos in this set, while I hid in the hallway, out of sight.

I also have a question for those who would know better than me. This camera is on loan to me from a friend, as a try-before-you-buy option. It is in excellent condition, with only 1100 shutter actuations registered. It comes with a carrying case, two batteries, and a charger. Would you consider this to be a worthy camera, or is it something that I might outgrow quickly? (i.e. any known problems/limitations that I should be aware of?) And If it is a decent camera, what do you think would be a fair price to offer for it?

I hope that's not too broad a question to pose.

Anyway... Thanks for taking the time to read and/or respond to this... and even for just stopping by.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Lovin the "new girl" photos! She looks great. The wig is a good fit to complete her look.

Looking forward to seeing more of her. Let us know when she tells you her name.

OK folks, walk on....no regression to see here. :lol: Lovely shots LBL, too self critical but it's only natural I think. I'm the same.
Congratulations on your very sporty looking new arrival. God I wish I had the energy for a sporty one. :lol:
I hope this won't mean that we see any less of Jen. I do have a soft spot for her. :D
I was going to try to help with the Nikon D2100 question but I tried Googling it and I couldn't find one at all, not even used. I could only find a D3100.
The photographs are certainly nice enough and that's a useful sized lens too but check out the prices of other used Nikons before making any kind of offer.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

@Mondoon
Haha. I'm not sure if I have the energy to keep up with this one either, but when I saw her, I just had to have her.
And no worries... Jen is here to stay. She's my #1 girl, and always will be.
I had the same issue - couldn't find the D2100 listed anywhere, but as it turns out, this camera is actually the D3100 - I'm just blind as a bat. (Now where did I put those glasses?)

@Maviarab
Thank you. I hope to take some photos of her either tonight, or tomorrow, so I should have more to post soon.
