Smiling
Posted: Wed Apr 24, 2024 12:02 am
I don't post often. I don't own a doll, though I am very much a big doll fan. I'm not likely to own a doll until or unless for reasons of death or disability I am separated from my wife. I'm a pretty old guy, 77. Weight reduction is important to me, but there is another thing that I think is more important and a very big part of what is attractive to those of us in the Western world who are not Asian.
Pretty women for us should smile. A great many of the Asian companies offerings do not for what i think are sound cultural reasons. I am no expert, but it seems to me that in China and Japan the modesty of women is held to be of great value. The appearance of being demure and not naturally sexually enthusiastic appears to be a cultural value.
In my own extensive reviews I feel that most Asian vendors prefer to portray their dolls demurely. That's not so true of Westerners. Several of the Realdolls display at least a half smile, including in my opinion at least half of the realdollx offerings.
There is an Asian vendor who has offered a doll who smiles with apparently great commercial effect: Fanreal's Maria.
I am posting here in the Zelex forum because I greatly admire the aesthetics of all the Zelex creations except for the absence of this Western Smile.
Am I bonkers fellow doll lovers? Or do I have a point.
