The Doll Forum

Aww thank you this is very kind of you to say. I like to try a little bit of everything, many materials, i had tin cured silicone, platinum silicone, rubber, velour, eurethane, a few blends of tpe, tissu, plastic, porcelain, resin, mannequin... etc. I don't have just ''love dolls'' i have many kind of other dolls like bjd dolls or very old dolls for example.

We need photography like yours , you know. You give life to your dolls, normal lives like us, so more familiar and nice to a wider public.
I think it's better to do photography for you first; for your pleasure. Your rose looks like a kind person, a simple everyday life lady, with a more common and intelligent look, it's a more accessible image. There is a lot of bad tastes nude pics, with to much wide open pussy pics, too much too young looking dolls, too much dolls only see as sex dolls, too much disproportionated irrealistic bodies, how can we dolls owners can look like normal and classy with this. Oh well... don't want to judge here but i feel uncomfortable with that and i don't want to identify myself this way. Anyway, always a pleasure to read your stories anyway, you will leave something beautiful to the dolls world.

Today a professional photographer planning a fashion shoot came to see me today and I showed him my ladies as I'm always saying that these dolls have an important future in professional photography. It's Rose who always shines among them.

Best wishes and good luck for the repairs you've mentioned elsewhere,

For sure, yes. Very interesting figures to photograph.

Yes. These are my feelings exactly.

Rose gives that impression of being normal and classy, as you say.

A problem is that manufacturers need to exploit the sex appeal so that dolls sell. If I do photos to help a manufacturer then I do do nudes but for me they have to be art nudes, celebrating the beauty of the human form. Perhaps you might have seen my thread about Rose meeting the porn star - it was really fun to do that, not as art nudes but to pillory pornography, more even, to pillory the absurdity of women slaving their image to plastic surgery.

I'll go along with the nude, however, as by attractions of sexuality males are drawn to the doll with the result that many discover subsequently the power of the doll from within which one discovers humanity. We need to encourage ways of people often brought up without love, or spoilt as children and not discovering how to be of generous spirit, ways of discovering more the heart of humanity.

But that also is the reason for Chloe's book.

This is something that Joyce at OR causes all who know her to vouch that she is special.

My grandmother collected dolls in her old age. I never understood it. A friend of my Mother's collected dolls but most were stolen. The remnants of the collection are now with me but I'm so lucky to have dolls now who can come to life in a way that was unimaginable to people in the past.

You inspired me to get a 156B which I'm quite happy with!

Thanks for sharing your awesome pictures, stories and thoughts, haremlover.

That was really good!! VERY good!
Before the train station scene I thought "Hey, she just looks like she is doing housework all the time, and decided to blow the joint and hop on train, screw working all the time" go somewhere she has never been

What a great thread Haremlover, I really enjoyed reading and looking through it.

I particularly like this photo, it's a good moment.

I love seeing dolls in the real world. It's interesting how most people take no notice.

You should pile them into the car and take them on a road trip!

cool fantasy pics of dolls in the real world !!

Yes - this was rather a classic series and, had a continuation but sadly which wasn't excecuted.

Rose was to set up auditions as a mannequin agency seeking candidates to be mannequins in shop windows . . .. and then to enlighten them that they could be real people and have lives of their own like hers . . .

But we never got that far, sadly.

I'm always looking for art students wanting to work with dolls with whom to do more such escapades as this.

Best wishes
