forget everything you knew about dolls

I absolutely love this video, found via Inspiration Across the Ocean... I always thought there's something a little bit creepy about dolls.
And... I kind of saved the best for last, 'cause today by total coincidence -there seems to be a doll theme today-  I came across this other website - Enchanted Doll, via my bestest of friends over at Humbaya. I spend hours browsing through all the pictures of these truly enchanted dolls...Please do the same, they're amazing, you'll love them especially if you enjoy a little bit of twisted/fetish details :P

corset - it holds the figure erect

Now when I say I would've liked to be a Victorian lady I certainly don't mean I would've liked to be strapped with tight lacing and stiff corsets. I just want the part with the country house, tea in the rose garden and going to balls. But I guess every era has its beauty ideals and its women desperate to match them. And the romance of the corset lingers on... thanks god for lycra, hehe...
'cause hey, admit it...there is a little fetishist inside of you that kind of likes this...

The Vanities Girls

OK guys so you all know I have a guilty pleasure for pin-ups...so here's moooore from Vanity Fair


Since 1992, Vanity Fairs Vanities section has opened with a full-page portrait of a promising young star. In September 2006, they tweaked the format: the Vanities opener now features an up-and-coming actress in a 50s-style pinup shot. These shapely ingénues are on the cusp of fame or have just hit it big; they have names you need to know and faces you won’t have trouble remembering. Here’s a look at all the bombshells who’ve struck a playful pose in the new retro style.
