She's a very versatile doll, and she certainly dresses up well.

Oh yeah, Cayenne is also available in the USA on ebay. The ebay opening bid price is a little lower than the Amazon price. There is an auction now that ends in about two days. Good Luck.genesis218 wrote:I ordered my Cayenne on ebay and received her in three days.

I wrote more about her in another thread on this forum. Unfortunately in the repair section.
hope moderator will not consider it spam, https://www.dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=118574
Just need someone to help us soon. Sorry was planning to introduce ourself earlier, but as usual no time. Plus was waiting for my studio light to arrive, so we can have better pictures.
Re: Joining the Cayenne Cleur phan club
First welcome to TDF - rosen-
Nice to hear that you & your Cayenne Cluer are getting along swell -
I have since this post from five years ago purchased another to replace the original, regrettably the replacement didn’t have the bigger boobies of the one posted above, but on positive note the newer one is better built as the one from five years ago had all her inserts fall out -
So
I read your post in the repair section, but posted here for more views
First is nothing is wrong with your Cayenne
The arm issue is a well known problem- so you are not alone with this issue
Now in posts here at TDF there have been some members who have used glues to hold the arm in the socket- but - once done that arm will be in that position forever
I deal with the issue more as one would with a quirky lover - it’s not a major issue the arms are pushed in with friction- and use causes them to fall out
What I do
With Cayenne deflated - I then push the arm back into the socket- feel the friction as you push in - be gentle as Cayenne is a gentle inflata babe
This will happen over and over again she’s a quirky lover - deal with her issue as you would any other air doll - non are perfect- it’s how we deal with them that’s important
Once you understand Cayenne & all NMC/ NANMA legacy air babes you become more comfortable with them
Have fun with Cayenne

Re: Joining the Cayenne Cleur phan club
Well - rosen- you pointed out some, not all the issues with these NMC/ NANMA Legacy air babes
So
You have to realize that no air doll is perfect nor will last in mint condition forever- but - with understanding that with minor repairs & dealing with their quirkiness she can last a long time
Now one issue at a time
By just pushing the arm back in the socket- is not fixing her - but simply restoring her back to operating- the arm will pop out again - so do things to her that will not over stress that joint - but if it bothers you that much, then do as others and glue the socket in a position that you like - just remember to deflate the doll before pushing her arm socket back in and glueing it
Neck issues
Again a problem well associated with these air dolls - cut a patch slightly lager than the stress tear and glue it to the damage area - this is the most common tear with the air doll with the solid foot to vinyl leg being second along with the hand - all easy fixes
Most vinyl air dolls will over time leak, the more complex the shape more vulnerable to tears - but almost all are easy to fix
My air dolls over time have all the same issues that yours has, yet I get years not days from them - but nothing last forever

Arms are in the socket. Socket itself separated. so i have 3 pieces: body and some plastic glued in it. Call it casing. then ball itself that supposed to be one peace with casing forming what you call socket. And arm itself. So hand can be napped in and out on a ball. But ball itself fell out of casing with no sign of glue or crack. I will draw diagram today. Very rare damage.
I think same story as to keep home animals. It is a pain to be bound to someone or something that lifespan is significantly shorter then yours. But it teaches to appreciate every moment of you own time here.

Re: Joining the Cayenne Cleur phan club
I wonder if there are any known anti-aging cosmetics for her. Right now she has a small "plastic" scent. That means she loosing some materieal by just drying to the air. I know people use softner after a while. But what about just after shower cream? She tried silicon shiner for latex clothes. It should not hurt. But who knows. This silicon oil is a best I can imagine so far.
Shower, shampoo and conditioner? Of course normal will not work, with all oils and parfumes it will just kill her. We used soft amount of dishwasher.
Any other suggestions? She is roaming house entire day. I got her cotton jeans and shirt to protect from tear and wear. Right? Wrong?
Also she has a small hole on her back, and got water inside during taking shower, don't know how to dry it before it make any damage. Hang upside down in a silly pose for few days?

Kae started Instagram account. @kae.cleur
Modeling is very hard for her as she completely unable hold any pose. We will engineer some tricks.
In some future will look to upgrade her shell into silicone. Don't know if any company will help to recreate her look/head etc.

Re: Joining the Cayenne Cleur phan club
Can you tell what type of insert she has? The normal old one (built in) or this bad new one (dog bone insert) ? Kimmi and Natalie can now only be bought in this new version with the separate insert which is really bad. I really want to try this built in insert dolls from NMC. I bought a Natalie doll but she came with the new insert ... Maybe Cayenne can be still bought with the old style. But she is so rare. everyone is out of stock on her.
Anyway, nice photos, i like her in the pics you made. Btw, these NMC dolls can be posed easily. Unlike diaoshi dolls, they can stand on their own. Just pump air up to 98% or so and put on any shoes on her and she will be able to stand either leaning to the wall as you see here with my Natalie: Or you can use tricks as you mentioned. For example here she is standing in front of my couch. One of her hands reaches to the back and supports herself on/with the pillow on the couch: This way you can make nice pictures of Cayenne
