If Blow-Up Dolls Could Talk …

Catherine StrawnOctober 13, 2009 //


Blow-up dolls have feelings, too, you know. They’re not simply inanimate objects that lonely men can have their way with. At least that’s the premise behind the Japanese film “Air Doll.” Based on a manga, “Air Doll” tells the story of an inflatable sex doll who magically comes to life and explores the world after her owner leaves for work each day. She even starts dating a man she meets in a video rental store. The movie, which was shown at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, isn’t available on Netflix quite yet, but we’ve already added it to our queue in anticipation of its U.S. release. Keep reading »

“Lars And The Real Girl”-Inspired Jackets

Blowup dolls will keep you warm — especially when they’re turned into fresh track jackets. Dutch designer (and über hottie) Sander Reijgers has had his way with a whole lot of blowup dolls and then repurposed them into stylish, if unusual, threads. The Mama Anders line is made for both women and men, and the clever craftsman from the Netherlands isn’t shy about using the nether regions of these dolls for decorative small pockets. He also uses the fishnet stockings for pattern and the dolls’ noggins make nifty “eyes in the back of your head” hoodies. These are really the only blowup dolls we’d be cool with our significant other slipping into. [World of Wonder] Keep reading »

Crime Blows Up In Thief’s Face

Wow, some people really will do anything to get laid. In Australia, a particularly desperate man broke into an adult toy shop to have sex with blow-up doll. Apparently, he smashed the store windows and, um, squeezed through the tight hole. The shop owner say this isn’t the first time he’s broken into the shop and had his way with their merchandise, claiming there’s been at least one unreported break-in before this. “He has been taking the dolls out the back and blowing them up and using the dolls and leaving them in the alley,” he reported. Specifically, he’s been “using” a doll named “Jungle Jane,” which he’s stolen on both occasions. And if that isn’t enough of a gross-out image for you, consider this: the burglar “also had the ‘weird’ habit of cleaning up the mess he had made after entering the building.” Thankfully (?), he didn’t clean up nearly well enough; traces of DNA were left on the doll to help police track him down. “It is a real concern that someone like that is out on the street,” the shop owner said. We couldn’t agree more. [News.com.au] Keep reading »

Celebrity Sex Dolls Make Us Barfy

They say one of the signs that you’ve “made it” as a celebrity is when you have your own action figure — but what about your own sex doll? Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria, and Lindsay Lohan’s likenesses are among those that have been replicated as blow-up “love” dolls. Of course, since none of these women have authorized these products, the dolls only use their first names. The Lindsay Fully Loaded Love Doll bears the slogan, “She’s no love bug, she’s a fiery red … who never says no and is always up for a good time.” If your idea of a good time is being a complete loser and humping an inanimate object that you can pop with a thumbtack, that is.
