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

battrastard Posted June 23, 2017 Wow.... just wow, dude. Hard to believe it's been that long, but, I'm sure there's many more years to go with both of you! 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 "Madness takes it's toll, Please have exact change!"

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

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 ToriaCrux said: 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! Tiriaq said: 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! keijogirl said: Aww! Congratulations!

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.

I do hope we get to see another 7 years together! sinclair said: 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.

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.
