What would you do if you found a RealDoll in someone’s closet? Chances are the person just bought you an extravagant dinner (RealDoll’s start at $6,500), so try not to make too much of a fuss. Photographer Anoush Abrar captures the creepiness of these expensive latex women quite well. Not that it’s hard.

I just watched the most amazing, beautiful, surprising movie the other night called “Lars and the Real Girl” starring Ryan Gosling whose character buys a real doll… very unexpected consequences as his small community embraces “Bianca”, definitely worth a watch…. however the doco mentioned by Zoe gives a more realistic view of the kind of people who order them!

Sure, President Obama is just as human as the rest of us, and there is a certain excessiveness to the extent to which he’s been idealized, but I’d rather have a President the world views as a secret agent ninja than one the world views as a bumbling, ignorant fool. Can you imagine an action figure like this one by Hong Kong-based DID Corporation made of Dubya? If they did make one, it’d probably be along the lines of Maxwell Smart.
I spent the formative first six years of my life in Wellington, New Zealand, a beautiful windswept city framed by a magnificent harbour in one direction and a stunning collection of green, rolling hills in the other. It was here, on a return visit many years later and deep amongst the clipped accents and ruddy faces of the weather-beaten locals, that I stumbled upon the vast catalogue of the then Dunedin based record label Flying Nun. And what a roster of acts they housed — The Chills, The Bats, The Clean, Tall Dwarfs, The Verlaines, and my favourite guitar-pop band, Straitjacket Fits. Read more
