DOLL PARTS


This picture almost qualifies for the "Disturbing Images That Are a Turn On" category, but not quite. Maybe because it is what it is - doll parts in a plastic bag, an image merely to show interested parties what they would be purchasing, nothing sexual or fetishy, or even artistic, is intended.

It happens all the time though, doesn't it - we see images that are nothing out of the ordinary but have the ability to spark something inside us. Every image has the capacity to be turning someone somewhere on.

This particular photograph obviously exploits two things close to my heart - the doll and the enclosure. The fact that the doll is in bits reminds me of my own self - the deconstruction of me, the woman, in order to achieve dollstate, then the deconstruction of the doll to bring me back. There is no body in the bag - this leads to thoughts of how, when dollified, I have no control over my body, have no physical feelings as such.

The plastic bag, not simply the bondage and encasement factor, but also symbolic of the impenetrable bubble that I as doll reside in for the period of time I am being played with.

I can't relate to this - in that - i haven't experienced it and don't feel any of that tug or pull when i read about it - but i do love your descriptions, the glimpses you give of your transformations are fascinating.

For someone like you I can imagine a doll-outfit made to look like that and made to fit you, along with a pretty pink latex derss. Sometimes the owner might forget to disassemble his doll before putting her away in a transparent latex bag for the night. Huh?
