I worked with E-va today both on the lunge line and with the long lines. It gave me a pretty good idea of where all of her holes are ( Read more... )

She will (mostly) stand to be fly sprayed so long as you have a hand on her mask. This is about the stage Charm-N was when we first got her so being as she's 13 years younger than Charm-N was I think we should be able to make ( Read more... )
