I finally figured out where my love of sex dolls comes from: I was maybe 7 years old. We were traveling to Louisiana and flew into New Orleans international airport. In the airport there was a Mardi Gras store and in the window were a trio of plush dolls, maybe 24 to 30 inches tall. All of them were women dressed in Victorian style clothes, but very risque. Low cut corsets, stockings showing with the front of the dress pulled up (can-can style), massive cleavage, etc. Just sexy as hell. Even now, I am getting a boner thinking about it.
I've been in love with those types of dolls ever since. Of course, I've matured and prefer full size sex dolls, that I can dress up. So, my plan is to buy or reverse engineer Velour Vixens and start making dolls. I know I can streamline his process and make more dolls. Maybe not as perfectly "custom" as his, but at least get something faster and better out the door, than Teddy Babes.
