Hello Privatetai, my friend.
Guess what I just bought today?
Just a wild guess will do....
A just bought a Textile Doll! It was one for sale here:
viewtopic.php?f=128&t=130596&e=0
I know you are thinking that was sudden well as it turned out, I have been in touch with the seller for a while now in private messages. He has a Dagmar in which the hip joint not only became loose, but totally broke. While he attempted to fix it...the other hip went out too. So we got to talking about Textile Dolls and he seemed very interested in one. So during one of the recent hiatus' he ended up buying a doll that was already made up from Yuri. Here is the original post:

So he buys the doll, finds out that it is not to his liking and two days later he puts it back up for sale. So now I am getting my gears turning that instead of ordering just a custom body from Yuri and having to spend over $800. Here I could get a
whole doll for $600. Well, I worked out even a better deal with the seller as he understood my situation that I wasn't working right now and he really wanted to move the doll. (He had since sold off his Dagmar, so he will not have a doll now). Even with the new deal I was on the fence for a while as I wasn't really ready to buy another doll. But the way I mulled over it in my mind, I know that the skeleton is better on the Textile Doll. Even though I liked the butt and legs on the Textile doll, I still like the Dagmar doll more overall. However, my big worry was that the legs on Eryka would give out. So this Textile Doll with a nice price tag on it presented a solution. With a WHOLE doll, and not just a body, that would free up Eryka in the event I wanted to repair her, right? That was the main reasoning which I have told you about before. However, there is another bonus...Taking this a step further, if I use the Textile doll mainly for sex, that would take the burden of moving the leg joints off of Eryka from a standing position to her sex position. So that in mind, I could just leave her in a standing position. Thus, if I don't move her leg joints...they will not go bad! Then all I have to contend myself with is to repair her arms eventually. So all in all, this new purchase will have me delegating Eryka as mainly a fashion photography doll. Now this doesn't mean I will not use the new doll for fashion photography, as I will, but it is just that the Dagmar doll is better with poses and overall I just like Eryka's overall look.
Another deciding factor was another fellow I just met here Svevo, and his Textile Doll, Emma:

I looked at the last set of photos with her in the dark, long, bell sleeve dress (the skirt stops mid thigh) and heels, I was like WOW! The legs on her are really nice! But overall, the "Linda" doll has similar legs and with what I said above and "Emma", I ended up going for it. I just completed the transaction moments ago.
I am now looking for a pair of high heel shoes on Ebay for her. Probably a 4" or 5" heel as that would put her around 5'9" tall. I had a girlfriend one time that was that tall and I liked that height on a girl. This is one of the things I could never do with Eryka, is to put her in heels. Seeing Emma in heels just got me going. With heels I can 'adjust' how high the new doll will be by just changing the shoes.
EDIT Do you happen to know the shoe size on a Textile Doll?
As for naming her...I am not sure. For now, I am just thinking of keeping the name Linda. That was my sister's name. She passed away in 2003. It was a popular name in the 50's through the 70's and I don't know why it fell out of favor in modern times. It has a nice sound to it. So I MIGHT end up keeping that name for her.
Oh, and another funny coincidence, "Linda's" hair style is the same as my sister's, but my sister had brown hair. However, you know already how I feel about long hair wigs. Since Eryka has 5 short hair wigs, I am sure she wouldn't mind giving up one or two for "Linda".
So...now I will be a Textile Doll owner as well! Just WAIT until I tell Yuri this. I think he is going to laugh!
Anyway, how are things going with you? I know you received your Valentina Girl and I will respond to your review on that. I also remember you have another doll on the way as well. Did you receiver her yet?
Anyway, I am sure to create a new post and review for "Linda" when she arrives. Of course I will keep you up to date what is going on as well.
So that is the news with me. I have to laugh that I am getting a second doll and I don't even have a proper closet for the first doll! But, I got a good deal on her and I knew I could NEVER get a new one for that price. The guy I bought her from said he didn't have sex with her and her insert and female condom is still sealed in the packaging. So she still is essentially new.
Well, I have to run now. As I am writing this, the seller informed me that he has the doll already packed up and it will be picked up later on today. So it should arrive by the end of the week. But I have a tracking number already so I can follow it's progress.
Talk to you soon!
