A lifestyle blog by Buffy Charlet on The Whole 9

Buffy Charlet grew up on a hippie commune and then fell in love with hip hop. From Teepee to Easy E, there’s really no explaining it. She’s been everything from a hand model to an editor at Hustler Magazine to a bartender. Now she’s just livin’ the dream, between shifts.

I’ve had some strange encounters in the last week (what else is new?) and I think there must be a common thread. Maybe you can help me put the pieces together.

First, at my commercial shoot a fellow actor started telling me about this BBC documentary called Real Dolls. Have you seen it? If not, put down your pastrami and youtube that shit. And don’t blame me for the queasy feeling afterwards.

Real Dolls are high-end sex dolls. The cheapest one you can get is $6,000. The cheapest.

The documentary follows a few guys who have completely substituted Real Dolls for real women in their lives. Their dolls are their wives, mistresses, and only friends. I guess he doesn’t have to worry about PMS mood swings or her drinking his last beer.

My perverted brain became fascinated with these dolls and found the Real Doll web site. (The site provides hours of entertainment while avoiding work and house chores.)

When choosing your own doll, you have many options. Here’s some snap shots from the site:

I’m going to go with Britney (she looks especially fuckable loveable, no?) with tanned skin, violet eyes and hmm…perhaps slate eye shadow. Yes, yes, I think that will look lovely with her skin tone.

It goes on to ask your choice in eyeliner width, nail length and color, mouth size and color and other perhaps more important features such as pubic hair style and color and if you would like the vagina to be permanent or removable…oh to have a removable vagina! The places it could go! The sites it could see!

Now incase you were wondering (I was) yes, they DO have male dolls. God Bless America. I have some qualms with the male dolls though, as will be evidenced below.

First of all, both types only come in 5’9”? Not to be rude to the averagely heighted man, but I’m paying close to $10,000 for this doll, I want him to be at least 6 feet tall, for the love of god. I want to be able to wear my heels around him and not shatter his silicon doll ego. Bullshit.

Also, why does the second guy’s dick swing right? Again, that’s cute in real life, but this is Real Dolls; I want a straight shooter.

And why in the hell does the darkest skin option only go to “Light African” – I’m not gonna get all MLK here, but really? I mean, really? If I’m getting a Real Doll, I sure as hell want dark chocolate as an option.

Furthermore, Michael, Nick and Nate? I’m sorry, but could we have a guy who doesn’t have more manicured brows than I do and look like he wants to borrow my nail polish?

And my final quandary about the male doll are the penis options. (Minors and family members, I apologize in advance for below.)

Whywhywhy. Flaccid and small? I might not choose the donkey size, but again, this is fantastyland people. Clearly these Real Dolls are made by real men. Sorry dudes, if there’s choice involved, I ain’t choosin whatchya already got. I’m surprised they don’t have balding and beer gut as an option.

Continuing down the site, for the particularly freaky out there, on either a male or female doll, you can opt to get elf ears…no comment. And if you just can’t decide if you want a male or a female doll, then why don’t you get the Shemale? Oh yes, they don’t discriminate (except against black people apparently).

As for any questions regarding your Real Doll, please refer to the FAQ section of the site. These are my particular favorite questions and answers:

I’m sorry, did I read that right, you can remove the face? Just eww. And you have to transport the doll via wheelchair? Wow, sexytime.

Yes, please do tell me more about the doll’s “entries.” And how convenient that the tongue can be removed. And incase you lose it, you can buy a replacement tongue for $100.

Honestly, my hips hurt just reading that one.

Aight, I’m all wiped out from choosing my new friends, but next time we’ll get into the other fakesters that rocked my boat this week. Hopefully together we can figure what the hell the universe is trying to tell me. Because so far all I’m getting out of this is a deep desire for elf ears.

  1. My doll just farted. It’s a cross between beach ball, Tupperware that’s been put in the microwave, and new car. I suspect the new car smell will disappear after a while. That’s what I get for feeding it fiber, but I wanted the realistic breath. Next time I’ll have to use a teaspoon, as I inadvertently triggered the optional gag reflex with the tablespoon. It scared me and naturally I turned to the Heimlich. Hence the fart. (You didn’t think it was actually the fiber, did you?)

    The whole thing was sort of disconcerting. My wife gave me that look, you know the one — ‘I don’t think a threesome is going to work.’ I know what you’re thinking, that Miley Cyrus is still on a path straight to hell. And you’re still probably right. But what you should be thinking is, ‘Why the Tupperware smell if she isn’t . . . apparently . . . air tight?’

  2. Agodoy: High-larious!!!

  3. There is a puddle on my desk right now — it’s from the tears rolling down my face from laughing so hard (so stop right there Anthony).

    Jeez Buffy…you have truly outdone yourself on this one.

  4. Watch Lars and the Real Girl. You will love it.

  5. for once almost speechless, the fact that people will spend that kind of money to not have a true intimate relationship, and frankly as sad as it is I can’t stop laughing.

  6. Awaken: You are far too kind!! Thank you!! xoxo

    Celeste: Seen it, love it!

    Jonathan: Right?! Same here.

  7. Well, it’s a lot better than what I was used to.

  8. agodoy: Haaaaa! Yeah, I guess at least the Real Dolls have heads!

  9. I posted this on my FB and someone asked if I was buying one…what the hell??!

    It’s all so funnily bizarre.

  10. Great post, Buffy. Reminds me of that Woody Allen joke, in which his father was fired from his job and was replaced by a gadget that can do everything his father did but ten times better and faster … the bad news was the next day his mother went out and bought the gadget.

  11. But can I get mine Samoan sized? That’s all I want to know… :)

  12. BTW, ya’ll think this is bugged out… well I got news for ya! The Japanese are already well ahead in trying to corner the Fembot market…

    http://singularityhub.com/2010/01/04/robot-look-alikes-go-on-sale-in-japan-video/

  13. Grool If I had extra mulah I would definitely invest in the fembots. That is the future. I wonder what disease they’ll carry…probably one of those new fangled computer virus’ that crash your system when you walk by. lol

  14. I’m blaming Lisa for me laughing while my man is talking on the phone. I am beginning to really Love the 9..speaking of 9 how about 69? Do the dolls come in flavors? Now that would be awesome pizza and beer for the guys and pasta with Merlot for the gals…lol

  15. LMFAO!!! Gonorrhea V 2.0 possibly?

  16. It causes insanity… and hard drive crashes.

  17. Also… @agodoy that disturbing sort of acceptance look on your face dancing with that mannequin is PRICELESS. …

  18. The real money to be made from these poor saps who have decided to make life size Barbie their fultime playmate is in the pregnancy kit. How else will they be able to prove themselves worthy to their plasticine lovers if they cannot impregnate them. The pregnancy kit will come complete with a full range of 3-9 month uterus attachments and a zip lock pouch bag that will break in 9 months.

    But wait there’s more..just before giving birth, the manufacturers of the Real Doll will send out babyshower invitations to other Real Doll owners thus creating animosity and driving up sales of the pregnancy kits and perhaps one day making it possible to create…dare I say it…the Octo Mom Real Doll. Your choice: fertile or tubes tied.

  19. LOL!!!

  20. I’ve read that to simulate the full dynamic range of human touch (and of sexual interaction) would require a cybertronic humanoid robot to have, among other things, upwards of 6,000 lbs. per square inch of pressure available in it’s fingers, hands and other pertinent places. Wouldn’t want that “doll” to break down or run wild on you; could get messy.

  21. @grool – she said something off color, but it didn’t ruin the evening.

  22. Hey everyone, I love all of your comments!! I sprayed tea outta my nose laughing!

  23. “Good business it where you find it…”

  24. This is so disturbing that I don’t even want to think about it.

    However, I do have to second the recommendation for ‘Lars and the Real Girl’. Despite the subject matter, it is nothing like you would imagine! It’s a beautiful and very sweet movie about relationships and family and intimacy. It doesn’t celebrate this type of thing as being normal or healthy, but it also avoids the juvenile humor you’d expect to find in a movie dealing with the subject. I’m not even sure how I even came to rent it myself. It’s certainly not a topic that I am normally interested in. In fact, I didn’t realize such things even existed. (To be honest, I wish I could go back to that ignorance.)

    Rent it. You won’t believe how emotional and non-sleazy/exploitative it is.

  25. Yeah, it’s a great movie. I saw a screening of it before it came out and Ryan Gosling was there to do a Q&A. He was very insightful and humble. Great movie and great acting!

  26. So apparently that character in the movie “Mumford” was real too? The one who was building life-size sex dolls. It seems that we just have to merge a few technologies and teledildonics can keep the spice in your long-distance relationship.
