With
their long glossy hair, heavy make-up and perfect skin, at first glance
you would think these were real life glamourous women. But look a
little closer and their vacant stares give away the fact that they are
in fact astonishingly realistic silicone love dolls, which sell for
upwards of £1,000 – N250,000.
According to DailyMail who just published the photos, the images were captured on camera by
Copenhagen-based
photojournalist Benita Marcussen, who approached the men via online
forums – one of the only places where many of them can be open about
their dolls – and spent nearly a year gaining their trust before
photographing them for her series Men & Dolls.
These
men enjoy long-term relationships with the dolls. For some of them the
life-sized dolls are their sole companion, others are married with
children, and in a few cases the dolls have filled the space left by
lost loved ones for their owners following death or divorce.
What are your thoughts about the photos?
