This is a doll rant

And rant it is going to be! Probably not diplomatic about it, either.

First up I'd like to rant about Doll Chateau's Siamese twins.

While I applaud their effort on taking on a very different concept and something certainly rather unique, I really do not like their approach.

Why face to face? I guess for technical purposes so they just need to make one new piece and use existing body rather sculpt something else? Well but if they did a hip piece that allow them to joint side by side that would also only be one piece as well. My biggest problem is this: in the photo they were locked in some sort of embrace and eerily awkward glances at each other... which give me a VERY strong incestuous vibe. Oh it is possible my mind is in the gutter but in fact none of their styled pictures show them wearing any pants/skirts. There were photos showing off the body, there was no need to have them nude in those styled pictures. In fact, wouldn't it be better to show off what they can wear and/or what they look like when wearing clothings? This leads me to believe they did a sexualized image of this on purpose, and I am extremely uncomfortable about it.

Mind you, it is not that they have sculpted a doll with a physical... hm, lack of a better word, normality that bothered me. The fact the photos are portrayed in the way they are is what really really bugged me. Sorta like Dollmore when they released the Lusion doll.. .. the fact she is big and baby faced with more grown up proportions did not bother me as much as how they did the photos.

Which brings me to my next rant.

WHAT IS UP WITH LEEKEWORLD?!

Lately all of the dolls they have released have been with 3 years old faces, small shoulders with decent size boobage and huge hips. Some of those things don't go together and shouldn't go together. All with pastel colours and with too much attention to details of body blushing. What's going on? No idea, just creeped out by it and very glad that I don't deal with them anymore.

Surely. On both cases you can argue about that it is some new art concept and they are only trying to make art. Sure. If it was done and display in a museum to invite our thoughts on our concepts about sexuality and/or physical differences, sure. This is however, a product that you can buy to do whatever you please. Maybe I am being cynical here but I honestly think there are some sick minds out there doing sick things to them. I am not sure I am comfortable with promoting that sorta thing.

I am sorry once again if I offend anyone. I just do not like this and feel rather strongly about it. I appreciate if if you see this differently and my mind is just not in the right place, alas! This is how I feel on the matter.
