I hardly drink at all, but I actually have a hangover from two glasses of wine last night. I can hardly move around today and really could have used this new invention to get up the stairs with my breakfast this afternoon.
Ayumi (pictured above), random shop girl and part time barber at Patricia Field boutique, punched my best friend in the nose outside of Midway bar on avenue B (the old Save The Robots) a couple of years ago in a drunken rage. My friend was trying to break up a fight (in heels mind you) between Ayumi's bad news boyfriend and someone else when all of a sudden notoriously dangerous nut job Ayumi flew at her. My friend pushed her off into the gutter, but Ayumi flew back and popped her in the nose. Blood everywhere. The police witnessed the altercation and asked my friend if she wanted to press charges. My friend declined as she thinks that once you get embroiled in legal disputes, you never get out, leaving yourself open to to others disputes. Nevertheless. the police made Ayumi do community service picking up garbage and turd around the city. My friend has since had to have two corrective nasal procedures and still contains herself and acts like a lady when at events where she is just a few feet away from the spaz. Ayumi was sitting in front of us the other night and stood up to beckon to her friend with her (once bloody) hand and HELL YEAH I took a picture of her right in her face. Don't be messing with my girls, bytch! R
Ayumi has a history of violent accomplishments: She apparently once went to open the store some early morning completely naked and threw all of the merchandise out on the street. Additionally, she was once arguing with her boss and snatched her bosses sandwich and threw it at her! She still has her job to this day. Stop by and ask her all about it! :->
OK - they are totally demented - but are they an outrage? I guess it depends on what you do with your rubber automaton baby, right? First of all, they make even more complex dummies for medical training purposes. I would also like to defend future robots of the world who wouldn't be reading this without our having made them in our image. Attached to the email about these babies, was a letter from the senders colleague who had a chip on her shoulder the size of a cabbage patch and a Betsy Wetsy complex. Her grave support of fantasy repression then turns against men's (non baby) sexual fantasies.
I was charging the battery on my new camera and downloading things while waiting out a personal grooming treatment, so I decided to join the riveting debate of controversy over rubber babies - and read whoever wrote this about depriving demented people of their creepy rubber babies!
HER RANT:
The cost of these disturbing dolls is more than it would cost you to sponsor a real child in a Third World country – to provide vaccinations for real under-privileged children to offset sometimes certain blindness or other disabling disease or death.
That being said – those who choose to "love" these inanimate plastic objects – have done the world, the human condition, a huge favor by understanding – and indeed – accepting – their own intellectual and emotional limitations – their fundamental inability to actually love a human being and deciding instead to love a pretty, pretty piece of plastic. .
These women who buys these dolls – are like the unattractive men who buy porn – dreaming of something they will never and should never have – and honestly, do not really want since they would not know what to do with the real thing.

MY SNARKY COUNTER-RANT:
you're colleague needs to pull that 15 ft stick out (his or her).
sure the dolls are demented and ill, but they are sculptures. they are just fake babies. why do we have to compare everything that isn't a necessity to starving children? Is your colleague spending their spare time picketing madame toussads as well? nice dime store freud - looks like YOU are struggling with your own intellectual limitations. & don't major in psych!
and why shouldn't attractive and especially unattractive men buy porn? why shouldn't they dream and why should they especially never 'have' their fantasy? be happy that men do thus and accept that they probably don't do this thinking of you. additionally, i'm sure they would come up with something to do with the real thing. anyway, how would you know are you 'the real thing' hot stuff?
