Girlfriends are for guys who haven't found the right doll yet.
I feel much better now that I've given up hope.

Agree...Stewie studmuffin wrote:I wasn't too happy about that ET neck thing at first and it was one of the things that made me hesitant to get a Teddy Babe. But it doesn't seem as noticeable in real time as it does in some pictures. I guess I have gotten used to it as I don't even notice it at all anymore.
She could have a double or even triple chin so a little Extra terrestrial doesn't bug me one bit, it actually is a great spot to nudge your head

Re: A Proper Introduction
I also echo that the E.T. thing isn't a big deal in real life. I seldom see it and if I do it's never that extreme, but in some pictures it just really stands out and looks kind of ridiculous, lol. Just gotta make sure the camera is level with or a little above her face and not looking up at her. It's easy to avoid. I don't know much about photography, but I wonder if that isn't a good idea anyway?

Re: A Proper Introduction
Ha ha ha, oh yes the ET thing totally turned me away at first, but I only ever noticed it in pictures, never in the plush.
Now I have 3 and think they are all simply gorgeous.
Try some photoshoped eye mods, they give a whole different dimension to TB pics. It's kinda become my trade mark.

Re: A Proper Introduction
I have never seen a Teddy Babe able to tilt her head like this. Is this your modified skeleton in action?
In any case, I love her look.

In any case, I love her look.
The wire/rod frame originally passes through the neck and u-turns back down, is spot welded together at the navel then splits down to form the leg bones.
Before I cut it mid chest to attach the custom skeleton, I pulled it down as the u-turn could be felt pressing inside the top of her skull to the point of deforming it, but I probably pulled it a little further than I should have, hence her ability to keep her neck supported but tilt her head to lie off axis.
It makes it harder to keep dead straight for posing, but I like the appreciably unique looks she can now pull off.
I also used an automotive grade hose clamp to prevent the wire slipping back into her head.
