Well done Benita!

We found this bald guy in a red shirt to carry Faina down the stairs.

I gotta go and comb my thick wavy hair now...

Although some sites focus on sensationalism, I expect having these pictures in public will help to get dolls more accepted ... in the long run.

What strikes me, is that sites like the dailymail that focus on sex, calling our dolls 'sex dolls', just have narrow-minded replies, bashing doll owners (and they do allow that :evil: ).
Sites that are calling our dolls 'life-like dolls' have a few thoughtful replies.

Please tell publishers not to call our life-like dolls sex dolls, cause they are life-like dolls and there's much more to them than just sex.
Damn right. :)

Men and hair seems to be a more Euro thing.
I had a friend of mid 50's age from the UK that used to come and visit me and some other business friends in the US. My friend spent money on all kinds of hair tonics and potions so he would not loose his hair. He was always quite shocked if he came to visit in the summer time that I and most of my friends all shaved our hair down to nubs. He look and say: Why #####, you cut all your hair off! Flabbergasted! 8O
But we were 30's and 40's vintage and had no problems growing it back by winter.
Going downtown. Gonna see my gal. Gonna sing her a song. I'm gonna show her my ding dong! C&C

Today Benita's photos are published on the website of "De Volkskrant" a 'quality paper' in The Netherlands.
This time it's about 'silicone dolls' and they don't use the term 'sex dolls' - hey UK papers could learn from this :whistle:

Here's a link: http://www.volkskrant.nl/foto/samenleve ... ~p3835507/ it's entitled "Living with silicone dolls".
Sorry, the article is in Dutch and to see all (six) pictures you have to create an account.

Haha, thanks for the pictures Deerman and Everhard. It's finally official that the pictures will be exhibited at the Copenhagen Photofestival, as well there will be a doll from Abyss, this June 4th-14th. I will send some pictures for you to see and of course you are more than welcome to stop by - besides the exhibition Copenhagen has nice beers and girls, I know you like both :D

Wow, congratulations, that´s fantastic! I´d love to visit the exhibition, but I guess Brigitte wouldn´t let me travel to Kopenhagen without her. :wink:
