View Full Version : Waiting for Amy


Tex

Hi,
After a lot of pondering I have finally decided to invest my meagre pension in a bit of company (with benefits?).

With considerable help from Paul at Cloud Climax i have ordered, and am now customising a little, Amy from Starpery.

I first looked a Real Dolls about 15 years ago when my wife was in the later stages of MS. Lack of space and Friends Reunited put paid to that.

A number of months ago my second wife also died (not got a good record there!) so I have come back to the doll scene. Quality and realism have clearly come on since last time so i am looking forward to having a lovely realistic looking doll to keep me company and, you never know, get some benefits from her as well.

So, once i stop changing the options I will only have what will feel like eternity to wait before i have a new friend.

Sorry to hear about your losses Tex. Must be very hard. Dolls do have that resolution for grief, loss and hurt.

I've seen the Starpery dolls at CC and there is one that keeps calling to me. But I have two fashion hungry ladies. Maybe further down the line I could invest in a silicone lady....where she will live is another matter. :whistle::21

Hope the process isn't too long and she will be knocking on your door soon with her suitcase. :tu

I'm really sorry to hear about your wife, that must be awful. I hope your new dolly can help fill the gap in your life that has opened up.

I hear nothing but good things about Cloud Climax so I think you're in good hands.

Fingers crossed you don't have to wait too long for her to arrive, the wait can be frustrating!

Welcome tex. Dolls can certainly help you through some rough times. I know mine have.. It may seem like a long wait but before you know it the day will come, you'll be jumping up and down to look out the window at the slightest noise and then boom, your life will change. :tu
All the best and look forward to seeing her

Yes the wait can be long, but always worth it. :) and even if you do little more than cuddle with your girl when she's with you, you'll find its a wonderful place to be.

Welcome, Tex. A Starpery Amy is at the top of my wish list. And in the not too distant future, my current lady will need a new body. And even though I've pretty much only began saving up for her new body, I'm seriously considering the choice: new body with upgrades for my current lady, or an Amy? I mean, the prices are not too different.

Just for interest sake, i went for Amy after quite a lot of looking at this forum and various other web sites. So many thanks to the posters on this forum.

I do think she has a realistic face and sensibly proportioned body. I was sticking to the shorter dolls (156/7cm) for convenience and to hopefully keep the weight down (a bit).

She does also seem to look somewhat older (late 20's or early 30's perhaps which is totally fine by me) than quite a lot of the other dolls that appear to be in their teens. I wasn't really after a niece :).

Tex
24-01-2022, 05:32 PM
All silicone, implanted hair, painted eyes, boned fingers, basically as in the photo's on Cloud Climax.
Still many weeks away though.
I will have to let her settle in and choose some nice clothes first then take some photo's.

:welcome Tex, I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.

As others have said, dolls are amazing for helping tough times get better and are superb companions. I have two, both purchased from Cloud Climax last year, and I can't fault them, I got superb service.

Hope the wait for Amy won't seem too long, and will look forward to seeing her when she has settled in with you.

Dolls are a lot of fun and it's definitely a good distraction from "real life". There's a really nice crowd around here, finding this forum was a pleasant surprise. There are so many aspects to the hobby, different people get kicks out of dolls in different ways.

Beware though - it's easy to go crazy on treats - my girls have been here for less than 18 months and their wardrobe is getting more than a bit ridiculous. I'm starting to think I got them because I really just wanted someone to look after and buy presents for.

Hello Tex and :welcome Sorry to hear about your loss :( Dolls can be a good way of helping fill a void in one's life and certainly were for me.

Cloud Climax were very helpful to me when ordering my second doll last week, so I think you'll be OK; just have to wait a few weeks now.

It's selling words. Not everyone buys their dolls for companions, but for sex dolls. We on this forum however have actual relationships with our girls and treat them with the respect they deserve. :tu

Oooh, don't let the standard members of society hear you say that, they will often say we are the bogus ones:21


Seriously though, many of us don't see it as a hobby anymore, more a lifestyle, we enjoy it, we harm nobody, we don't care if some outside of our community get needlessly offended:rolleyes: This is for us, as individuals and for the forum.

congratulations on the very nearly purchase Tex.

So, its the Amy head that you are going for but with which body? Have you stuck with the 156? Personally I get whiplash every time that I catch sight of the TPE 174 on his site.

Have fun trawling those options. She may seem expensive but she doesn't eat a lot :D

Welcome to the forum,

Shamus.

Tex
25-01-2022, 08:36 PM
Hi Shamus,

thanks for the welcome.

I have gone for the 156cm Silicone body, she should be exactly as in the advertising photo's.

Theory has it that she will fit reasonably well in her new flat (wardrobe). If she keeps banging her head and gives me grief i can always take the hanging rail out. I did go for the weight reduction option but i don't know how much effect that will have.

She will be allowed to roam the house when there are no visitors.

I'll give it a coupke of months and then i bet you'll hate putting her in a wardrobe. I bought an ottoman bed when i first got Emma. Put her in it once for a property inspection and felt guilty as hell for the whole day. Shes never been in it since so now i store all my stuff in there as the girls have taken over all my wardrobes. Seriously you wont believe the effect they have on you. :tu

Lol, I've got something similar to an Ottoman which ended up as a wig box... just wigs... Nothing else... And requires at least one girl sat on it to keep the lid down!

Tex

Only if you want her to stand up for more than a couple of minutes a month.
Without she's going to mess up the soles of her feet if you stand her up for more then very short infrequent periods.

I have a girl with Sanding feet and she's never stood up a second in her life. it all depends on what you want from her :)

26-01-2022, 12:44 PM
...should i have selected the standing feet option???...

With the standing foot option, generally, the bolts can be removed, so as not to cause issues on the horizontal.

Not sure about Starpery however, you may need to check.

Photography wise, standing feet with bolts not really an issue, as they are easy to edit out.

Adam&Emma
26-01-2022, 02:25 PM
It does depend on what your plans are for your new lady. If she's gonna live in the bed then she can do without foot bolts. They aren't pretty but for me personally they are essential. If nothing else it makes it easier to dress them when standing.
Plus it depends on the type of person you are.. I bought my first girl thinking she was gonna be an amazing sex toy, and she was for a while. Then i got attatched. Now i have 3 (which is a tiny amount compared to some of the guys here, you'll soon learn about tommo :p) and they all live a life of luxury being constantly spoilt with clothes shoes and jewellery. Nice clothes means i wanna look at them a lot so they are either sat on the sofa or standing in the living room to be admired and photographed. So what im saying is i think foot bolts are a good idea. As for them destroying socks and tights then there are ways to avoid that. There is so much to learn lol

The very best way to go lingerie shopping is as follows :

Wear a brown Mac, preferably mid calf length, with shorts and T-shirt underneath. Yhe best footwear is either sandals or Crocks, both with wool socks.

Whilst in the lingerie section ensure that you make eye contact with every security guard and staff member you encounter and hold it for 3 seconds longer than it comfortable.

Mutter things like "custard may stain that", or "that'll never hold it all in" as you wander around.

For advanced level additional fun, occasionally sniff the items....

Totally relate... Also on occassion you will see a woman walking around with an outfit that you know is just perfect for your girl so you rush home and spend hours trying to find where you can get exactly the same look for your girl from.

Big question. Have you discovered Primark yet???? It's like Mecca for us. Colours don't stain (in my experience), the xxs tops are like made to measure for our girls, they do stretchy white jeans and their lippy's cost nothing for actually pretty good quality stuff... And on top of that when I go in there I find mix and match outfits for all of them and still walk away with change from £50.... T shirts, £1.80! FFS, I can't even haggle street vendors down to that price in Thailand.

Hi Tex, I am a little late to the party, but congrats on your doll order. I hope she arrives at your front door vary soon.

Before long, cloths shopping should become second nature for you. When I first started out, I was going through the ladies and girls sections with a tape measure to see what would fit, and telling everyone that I was trying to find period and costume outfits for a life size doll. now I can usually tell wether or not something will fit and look good by looking at it.

Some of the storekeepers in town know about my dolls and mannequins now, so I am quite tempted to take a doll shopping in a wheel chair some day, so that she can try on clothes right in the store.
