Interesting article and of course great photos. Looking forward to the 'B side' photos when it all got carried away...

Nice interview! Never stopped to think that they aren't "in person" any more - but it makes perfect sense.
Huh

- redundancy non personal interview on non person subjects

I've seen it, and it still boggles my mind.

It was a great interview, and came out very positive as well, i.e. no creative editing to put a sensationalistic spin on it (at least you and I have both learned to not talk to the British tabloid press

).

And the latter certainly doesn't help the case against the former.

'Course, you're not gonna convince a hard-line "feminist" that dolls don't belong in her misandrist worldview any more than you could change an elderly Klansman's opinion of ethnic minorities. But I'm glad it was brought up, because the belief that doll owners choose synthetic partners out of hatred for women seems to be just as prevalent as the idea that we're creepy perverts who can't handle human interaction (if not more so), and both notions need to be dispelled.

Meanwhile, consider the possibility that some of the people here who dislike you do so not because you're female, but because they're jealous that their photos will forever pale in comparison to yours...

I've been trying to read you interview,but for some reason half the page is messed up.

When I opened the page the first time it was 1/2 messed up as well for me. I closed the window and reopened it and it worked just fine the second time around. Now it is time to review the interview.

Nice work; a cool, open, and friendly article. IMO, excellent for the doll community.
Thanks for posting this.

Hi Stacy, I really hope you´ll find an editor for the book you are working on. I´ll hurry to get it once it´ll be out.
Thanks a lot, I think I´ve never seen a pic I didn´t like.

Loved the interview (you are going to hand out free autographed editions of your book at the next meet, right?

) and was quite pleased about the mag's unprejudiced handling of it. Of course your photos are exquisite, as always. I would love to spend a few hours with you; in your studio learning how you do it, the make-up, lighting and photography, that is. Oh you know what I mean!

It's funny how people can react to a doll, yet if you were to have the exact same 'woman' in the exact same pose but sculpted from some other material like granite or bronze and it would probably be considered fine art and end up in some fancy museum like the Louvre.

Hi Szalinski,
you are just right, but there´s one thing. I prefer my Brigitte to lie in my bed instead of ending in a museum.
I know I´m an egotist, but I´m sure she prefers it as it is as well.
Best regards,
Chris
