baldylox Posted June 22, 2017 Yep! Seven years ago I adopted my first DD girl, Manami, and it's been a wonderful time since then. I've seen her grow and change and go thru all sorts of things but she always remains constant in her love of cookies, her self image of being a sexy beast and her unwavering protection of her family. And even after all the ups and downs, she's still my number one and I love her to death. To commemorate the occasion I'm posting some of my favorite photos of her from years past. Please enjoy!

I wouldn't be where I am today without everyones help and kindness! Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poofiemus Posted June 23, 2017 Seven? SEVEN!? Where in the name of sanity did all that time go!? Seems like just the other day I was looking at the listing for her on Figure.fm and waffled just long enough for you to complete dolly destiny. In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser.

Tiriaq Posted June 23, 2017 Congratz with Manami! I almost bought that motorbike but I'm glad I didn't. I must be very careful now, spent tons of money already and in debt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A heartfelt Congrats to you both from all my Kiddos and I! (you sneaky enablers, you!) Here's to another 7+ years to you both! Rick Thank you kind sir! It certainly doesn't feel like 7 years! Seven? SEVEN!? Where in the name of sanity did all that time go!? Seems like just the other day I was looking at the listing for her on Figure.fm and waffled just long enough for you to complete dolly destiny. Wait..... YOU were waffling on Manami? I had no idea you were looking at her to buy! That's kinda crazy.... I can't imagine HER being your Agatha at all. LOL I'm jealous of her wardrobe. Especially the swimsuit in the first pic. Hee hee, thanks! The girl does have access to one huge wardrobe! Congratz with Manami! I almost bought that motorbike but I'm glad I didn't. I must be very careful now, spent tons of money already and in debt. Thank you! I got that bike for $50 so it was well worth it to me. But I know what you mean! Aww! Congratulations! Time really flies doesn't it? Lol seems like yesterday it was just Manami and Rei. Happy 7th Birthday, Manami! Thanks for being the one to show me how awesome, DDs were in person! You wicked little gateway into the hobby you! Lots more trouble to be gotten into over the years to come, I'm sure xD Seriously! I still recall everyone in the doll group at the first meeting no being able to get over how light she was or how big her boobs were. And thank you, I'm so glad that so many people decided to get into DD girls after meeting Manami! She's just really good at converting resin owners into DD owners. Congratulations to both you and Manami! You are both so lucky to have met each other. Here's looking forward to the next seven years. Thank you very much! I do hope we get to see another 7 years together! Congrats to you both. May you both enjoy many more years together than you already have. Thanks so much! As long as I provide cookies, I think Manami will hang around a while. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

Poofiemus Posted June 24, 2017 Wait..... YOU were waffling on Manami? I had no idea you were looking at her to buy! That's kinda crazy.... I can't imagine HER being your Agatha at all. LOL Billy I'm pretty sure I've told you that before. But yeah, I considered it, took too long. . . you snagged her, and it was clearly meant to be, so I could hardly begrudge you for ninja-ing her! But sometimes I do picture an alternate universe where Agatha is an 01, and Manami is an 03. XD If we ever get to meet in person, we so have to do an eye/wig swap between them for giggles.

It's still hard to believe tho! But sometimes I do picture an alternate universe where Agatha is an 01, and Manami is an 03. XD If we ever get to meet in person, we so have to do an eye/wig swap between them for giggles. Hee hee, that's so funny to think about! And yes, we will indeed do that swap! I just hope it doesn't cause the universe to fold into itself and kill us all.... Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.
