That's wild. I don't know, though, it kind of creeps me out. :/ I can see how someone might find that appealing, though.
It creeps me out too, Kari. It's amazing how real she made it though. The starting price was $9.99 the winning bid was $3,051.99! She deserves it for all the work she must have put into it, but I couldn't imagine spending that much money on a doll. Wow!
:eek: Never in my life would I buy one of those, way too creepy.
I have to admit, they're cute - but they must be awfully hard to take proper care of. And I suspect they're popular with folks who need to masquerade as new parents for not-exactly-legal reasons. Not sure what to make of "real skin."

So they're actualy baby dolls that look just like your baby??
And what's with the "real skin":eek::confused:
That's kind of weird.
The artistic aspect of it is amazing. But my question is - what would you do with it? Unless you put it in a glass case or something it's just going to collect dust. That's the only thing that :confused: me. I mean, do you keep it in a bassinet in your bedroom? It's just kinda weird, IMO.
I find them very, very creepy. The person who creates them does an amazing job, they're very realistic, but very creepy. I don't understand the desire for something so life-like, but I've got my own real baby so maybe that's why I don't understand it.
I think they are sick. Probably used by people that can't have children to play "make believe" which just drives them farther into psychosis.
I'm nowhere near psychosis level.
I cannot have children for medical reasons.
If I had the money, I might buy one... but then again, I might spend the $3k towards adoption. If I were to pass the rigorous home inspections that is.
Please don't stereotype those of us that God did not bless with the ability to have children.
edit: yes, it's a very touchy subject
I don't see how it is different from collecting old antique dolls?
I don't necessarily think Devin was implying that all people that can't have children are psychotic. She herself, recently had a miscarriage, that I'm sure she's still reeling from. :(
Personally, if buying these dolls will keep people from cutting a baby out of mother's stomach, and killing the mother, then I'm all for it.
That's what I consider psychotic.
that's just my .02 cents for what its worth.
I could be way off base.
I think the work done on these babies is amazing. My aunt actually has one, not by this lady. She got hers years ago when this was something "new" and so it did not cost her $3k to get it. She keeps her in a bassinet and said that she would be her grandbaby since it looked like she'd never have any human ones. Well, my aunt has a grandson now, and spoils him rotten. But she still loves her doll collection. Including her "real" looking one.
