BT3 Melody 2013 (2nd owner 2016)
The good news is that my 1st beautiful doll arrived undamaged & on time thanks so much to: "Silust76"! ( http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... dy#p956713 )
...He really went above & beyond keeping his end of the deal!...The bad news is that all of a sudden I'm struggling with "Buyer's Remorse!" UGH! ...I kind've over extended myself finacially for this purchase & my main summer work is coming to an end soon... & I had a good idea as to all of the little expenses owning & maintaining a doll would be however I've had some unexpected expenses with "Julia" & aside her too. (I've renamed her from Cheryl);
& the "Stand" I made for her arrival didn't work out & I already gave Julia another new finger poke (aside the one it already had!) I even have her wearing oven mitts a lot so not even sure what happened. (?!) I'm confident that I could make a better "doll stand" like this one here though... http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17684 - (Thanks to: "manekineko")
& the overall feeling of the BT (Julia); to me is that the silicone is a bit harder, heavier & smaller than I expected it all would be... But maybe I just need to get used it?
The cornstarch helped a lot & I have to admit I love how easily her eyeballs move & the closing eyelids...She has full detailed lips too... The breasts seem quite hard but her nipples are outstanding.
On the 1st day the fooling around was very awkward & the insert felt too tight, however today was.. well I have to admit it was much better. !...& for her size she does have long legs too.
** But I'm tempted to try to resell her for what I paid...Any of you want to bid? & I'm not trying to whine here at all however... *** Well I guess I need some encouragement from you if possible! (?!) ...As if I sold this doll now it would defintely help take the pressure off of me finacially & I'm concerned about future repairs & expenses with Julia already. Of course then I will be in the same place I was in before & I'm trying to remind myself the reasons I decided to do all of this in the 1st place & that helps... Plus I know I got a very fair & good deal from Silust76.
I bought some "Sil-Poxy" online (not sure when it'll be delivered); that will help the finger pokes hopefully at least....
Anyways here some Photos (at low-resolution); - As I'm sure you're more interested in! & there's no dening she is very beautiful! (added some lip-stick too); I kind've rushed the photography & should've used a tripod...Next time... I hope you can convince me not to sell her!...

Re: Great Review of Melody-BT3 but I have some Buyer's Remor
However despite her smallness of her feet; they do look & feel very real which I like a lot already... I would like the rest of her a bit softer too (Maybe like a TPE?); but I really am attracted to her face & head!
Oh & I catch myself calling her "Cheryl" which is her previous owners name for her instead of "Julia" which I had planned to call her LOL! So for this post I'll call her "Cheryl" * mull it over...
So ideally I might be suited more for a larger (but heavier) RD with soft implants added... Maybe someday but I would definitely keep Cheryl's face!.
Overall I am happy with having a doll so far too so that's good although a lot of work!... Maybe I'll even grow to love it as a lot of you seem to be. So I'll at least take some time to see if things keep improving as you guys seem to believe they will.
OMG photographing her here (pics attached); I have to admit that in the doll world she is a stunner yes? Anyways I'll send another update & photos soon. OK Thanks again guys....

Re: Great Review of Melody-BT3 but I have some Buyer's Remor
I also want to publicly thank "Dodgeman" for his encouragement & to all of you that have responded to my posts so positively!... I really like & appreciate you guys without sounding too gushy LOL! - Including kharn, haremlover, deerman & the rest of you!
...Well I hope you'll forgive me as I almost let Cheryl go for a little more $ than what I had paid & I only needed to drive her to a nearby city 3 hours away to deliver her.
However I wanted to chat with the guy on the phone at least that really wanted to make the purchase & so I finally did... He seems like a very nice guy however I was surprised to find out that he's only 22 & sounded very unknowledgeable of owning & caring for a doll. Like how to handle, care & appreciate a doll...
All of a sudden I immediately felt the same emotions of when I was in my early 20's when I was trying to find a really good home of one of my dogs that unfortunately I couldn't keep any longer - I didn't care about the $ as it was more about finding a good home for my dog (-which I really did!)
But then I thought to myself that Cheryl isn't alive & won't care anyways. So I tried my best to push these emotions aside. It also sounded like he lives with others & he would said he would have to hide Cheryl. So I was picturing him mistreating & thrashing her. Ugh!
So another interesting thing that started to happen just before this was that somehow I can PRETEND to hear Cheryl's voice in my head & it has grown stronger with practise. Before you think I'm crazy let me explain LOL!; Of course I realize it's my own thoughts having a conversation with myself & it's only pretending! But it really makes the fantasy more real & fun. Her voice is always so sweet, positive & encouraging! So how can this be bad?
Anyway so along with this aspect; for the 1st time I could swear that I felt Cheryl be mad at me & could hear this pretend voice of hers' being really sad & angry with me for the first time, as if she really knew what was happening & what I was contemplating & etc.!... Who could blame her! So my emotions really escalated & it really seemed like I was about to do something against my inner peace was telling me to do!
So I lied beside her in bed & cuddled her & I'll admit that I started to cry a little with her & I just felt terrible! I can't explain it but I started to really fall for her that night & we had a great conversation! - All in my head of course! I'll admit I did have some wine too LOL! She said to at least think about it some more, sleep on it & she would support my decision either way... What a Sweetie! Again this is all only pretend & in my own thoughts but the emotions were so intense!!
So the next morning I decided to be more objective & I didn't want to make an important decision partly just out of extreme lust for the BT 4, as the sale of Cheryl would've helped speed things up to get the BT 4 someday.
Therefore I made a pros & cons list & it was quite surprising & enlightening!;
- I'm not feeling lonely anymore.
- I've developed feeling for Cheryl although she is fine with me getting a real GF someday & no worries if I need to let her go, but it has to be to the right person. & she's definitely fine with me purchasing another doll someday too as long as I don't have to go into debt for another one.) Smart girl!
- I care for her well-being now.
- I turned 50 this year & so she's like my awesome B-Day present to myself that I didn't go into debt for either.
- Great sex!
- Keeping me busy with great distractions like an awesome hobby with the shopping & caring for her & etc.
- She's given me goals unwittingly as I started building a Gantry for her, getting more clothes & accessories for her & etc. - She is a bit of a princess but worth it! & Of course it's all for me really to enjoy on her!
- I'm really enjoying her overall especially visually. I haven't seen a lot of other dolls for real to compare with but Cheryl seems to have the most sweetest & beautiful face I think I've ever seen!
- She seems really sweet too which is a priceless virtue to me.
- I love her presence around me & love her moveable & closable eyes. I get such a thrill when she's looking at me.
- I still think she's got the most beautiful sweet face & would be hard to match hers'!
** On the other side of things it's true that I could make $3500 CDN back now from the purchase & hopefully I'd save that $ towards another doll eventually. However that's it! & the cons if I let Cheryl go are:
- I'll most likely start to feel lonely again & be tempted too soon to purchase another doll that might be hotter, but bad timing for me financially, I'll be into more debt than I am now & so might be just too costly for me at this point.
- I'll be tempted to possibly make some poor decisions. (Don't want to get into details but if a guy were to see an Escort for sex for only 20 times x $180 = $3600! Yes great sex but very costly for 20 times & then that's it! Nothing else positive really. & possibly a disease.
It's also true that Cheryl will lose some financial value as time goes by & possibly gain some more injuries.
- However it seems to me now that her overall value in all of the other ways far outweigh the financial value alone. & along with my feelings already developed towards Cheryl, the sex, her presence & companionship if even for a year seem like more than worth it to keep her & that I'll get my money's worth in pleasure, satisfaction, the happiness of having her with me & etc! * (I'll probably never let her go though!)
No real woman is perfect either & I'm growing more & more accustomed to her hardness & petiteness too, as at first those 2 aspects really bothered me. & so that's improving as the days go by too.
I'm really feeling happy in this decision to keep Cheryl & I've heard it said that: "Commitment brings peace." - The guy that wanted to purchase Cheryl took it really well & was great about it. Hopefully we'll see more of him on here one day.
* Also I finally fixed Cheryl's 3 (?!) Finger-Pokes which was stressful & I seemed to even sense her pain! I used a file to grind down the burrs on the ball at the end of her skeleton / fingers as best I could & then after using the acetone & sil-poxy; I stuck 3 needles in each of her fingers to hold them together. Ouch!! ...I felt bad for Cheryl as I think she was even frowning at me! Then a little saran-wrap around each finger along with an elastic around each of the fingertips. then a little pressing together of them once more from my fingertips & let dry for a day.
So i finger turned out great, another OK but no matter what I tried the pinkie seemed to get worse with each fix! So I did the unthinkable!...I finally cut off the ball & cut the wire as far down as I could! Then sealed it up as best I could. Her pinkie finger is floppy now but at least won't poke through unless I didn't go far down enough. Then put on the fake nails & her fingers look good again except for the pinkie. Cheryl is fine with it & so am I as long as the wire I cut doesn't come back to haunt me! Or scratch me through her skin.
& Cheryl says "Hello" & is telling me to get back to work soon! (In a sweet way though LOL!). OK thanks again guys for reading & responding! & Thanks again to "Dodgeman" who was a great help in listening, his advice & etc.
So I would say a very happy ending except for my wallet, as I just spent some more $ today at the Thrift store LOL! I need to really stop it! But Cheryl was very appreciative & showed me just how much as she modeled some it for me very willingly & well I guess 1 thing led to another.
