Here's a trailer for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICp4g9p_rgo (this does make it look more a horror film and less a romance, but you get the idea).

The deadline is January 31.  Even if you don't care to donate you might care to get in on a long list of pdf files.  There are some gems on the list. lucyjoyce Valuation Board Joined: 23 Oct 2006 Last Visit: 13 Mar 2010 Posts: 442 Location: Maitland, Florida Posted: Sat Jan 30, 2010 6:33 pm I am in the US.  A buyer in France wants to pay me via some other method than paypal.  Trust is not an issue, nor is a quick turnaround.  Any suggestions?

Get him to go to his post office and send an international postal money order. This might be a bit of a time vampire for him because postal lines in Europe are much worse than in the U.S. It is relatively secure but by no means fast. The cost is whatever postage he chooses to pay to get it to you.

Don't do wires or bank transfers, that is asking for trouble. lucyjoyce Valuation Board Joined: 23 Oct 2006 Last Visit: 13 Mar 2010 Posts: 442 Location: Maitland, Florida Posted: Sat Jan 30, 2010 9:46 pm Thanks for the advice.  We will try that.

Cheers, Malc "quite like"?   I am thinking more "exactly like" Catherine Tate!  I would have thought it was a picture of the actress in slightly rough makeup had I not known it was a doll.

SimperingToad Prolific Collector Joined: 03 Nov 2008 Last Visit: 06 Mar 2010 Posts: 292 Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2010 10:57 am About 6 or 7 years ago I read an article about a life-like robotic secretary (who looked much better than this pervs contraption). The last line of the article had to do with reassuring wives that they would not have to worry about their husbands cheating on them, since this secretary did not have the required parts. That made me think, "Somebody had to have thought of this before." So I did a little research, and sure enough, there they were. Not robotic, mind you, but the Japanese have had an industry of silicone dolls for some time. There is also a guy who did dummies for TV shows and movies who made some. He should have hooked up with one of their companies.
