This is a fascinating article from Salon that it is worth watching their advertisment for.
It's about Real Dolls, these life-sized, silicone, posable, fully-pennetratable, dolls that sell for over 6 grand to lonly men. Amazing. You can even buy different faces and swap them. The article is very wholistic and thankfully does not take the "oh my god , the perves!" angle.
The interesting men are those who have chosen to make the dolls the object of their love rather than just a toy. Those who have been spurned by women and will never go back. There are even tons of websites for these men to show off their dolls and all the hot sex they have convinced themselves they have.
I know, no one's surprised by any of it.
It's just all so modern.
Posted by bluprnt at October 11, 2005 08:17 PMhey rebecca milenkovitch here, just livin it up in your fine country. i went on a naked bike ride on friday with 3 lovely ladies . it was loads of fun. booze here is cheap . its friggin hot , so hot,. oh yeah i've been meanin to say that you remind me of sarah j parker from sex in the city. not a little bit but a lot. thats a complement. this house i'm in is frezzin cold cause of the ac. um just so ya know i'm not a fan of dolls, even the real life size ones. the real thing is much warmer and softer, but sometimes difficult to obtain cause of lots of variables but worth the pusuit. ok gotta go. bye
Posted by: milenkovitch at October 28, 2005 11:14 AMHi. I found your blog by pure chance. I don't have a blog, nor am I very fond of blogs. In fact I seldom visit my friends blogs. But I found yours quite interesting. I intend to visit your blog a few times more...You have interesting articles and interesting opinions. I know I agree with many of them. And I would like to know how much we have in common (ideas). I read you articles concercing politics and sex, basically.
Well...I should say something about myself now: I'm a portuguese "young man" (22), a radical left wing guy and (if you'll allow me to show you) quite open-minded (I would say "liberal" in a moral sense, but normally people identify that either with economic liberalism in europe or that "not so radical left" in the US).
I know this might seem a bit odd but I would like to exchange e-mails with you. It's always good to find left wing inteligent people and talking with them. Please, this is not some sort of "dating strategy"...I don't have a blog nor livejournal. I use MSN messenger (my e-mail adress for that is ayatollahvermelho@hotmail.com) but if you don't or you don't want to add me (which is understandable) please write me an e-mail at this adress: yasujiroozu@yahoo.com
Sorry for my lousy english and for this "not-very-orthodox aproach".
