Caruso’s eyes aren’t freaky enough for that doll to be him. . . but I could be persuaded if it comes equipped with a pack of really terrible one-liners.

#4 Skate Reborn is when they make a doll look exactly like a real baby so people(usually old creepy people) can take care of them without having to worry that they’ll grow up. They usually don’t look as creepy as this though…

Yeah, I watched a BBC special on “reborn” babies. You have to see the documentary to even remotely understand what is going on here. And then you can die knowing you’ve been properly disturbed.

And according to the “reliable” source of TMZ, David Caruso has lil’ photo autographed cards he can just hand out to people. He keeps ‘em as a timesaver. I think the seller should contact Mr. Caruso, as I’m sure he’d be eager to send a card for the proud parent of this doll.

oh, people who are into these dolls often push the baby dolls around in strollers and talk to them, I met one once. There was a screen, so it looked like a real baby at first, but then you noticed it wasn’t moving. If someone asked about how old it was, or if it was a boy or girl, the lady would talk about it as if it were alive. She would admit it was a doll eventually, which led to people backing away slowly and getting as far from her as possible. So fucked up.

It reminds me of a stillborn :-/ Scary! Also, my mom used to look after this elderly lady that had a whole collection of these she “looked after”. They had their own room and everything. She was kind of nuts though. She never married and lived alone and kept the babies for company. I later found out that she had been sexually assaulted when she was younger by a relative which explains why she had issues but it was still creepy to come into her house and see all those dolls staring at you^_^

While I find the reborn baby idea disturbing in general, I have seen some from other makers that look like happy, healthy, vibrant babies. After looking at her entire inventory, several of her “reborn” babies look like they are terribly sick, dead, or they look like they have been physically abused. I don’t think it’s a good sign when the first thought that comes to mind is “hey, this baby looks like it’s been beaten!” or “hey, this baby looks like it’s in a comatose state!” Sad.

#117: it’s really worse. My ex randomly decided to collect those pics. Got sick of them just as suddenly. So I kind of became caretaker of the photos. It felt OK because I felt like the people in the pics (including infants) were loved so much by someone at some time. These dolls, if they’re loved like that, it’s beyond creepy. Plus none of the pics were open-eyed. Or in full grotesque color (most just black & white, some had coloring done to the photo itself).

I found the pictures to be sad and often in somewhat bad taste but photography back then was costly so these pics were sometimes the only photos people had of their loved ones. Kind of a touching tribute in a way, or a twisted souvenir (we even had some that were made into postcards).

As for people collecting these- how is it any different that collecting realistic action figures of Johnny Depp ? Some people may be wacky (no argument there) but MAYBE some people love to collect dolls that are realistic and not just simplified versions of real babies.

Nobody wants to remember how splotchy their precious newborn was, they want to remember how beautiful and perfect it was! Even if it wasn’t–they want to live in denial!

Largely more sane ways to satisfy that biological ticking clock rather than carrying a lifeless soulless baby look-a-like:

1. Do the dirty. Depending on the dude this can take less than 2 minutes and the whole process is pretty auto-pilot from then on. 9 months later, no need to fake it with creepy-assed dolls anymore!

2. Adopt

3. Become a foster parent

4.Work in a place with babies, change some crap-filled diapers, remember the pros to a baby-less life and cure your neuroticism.

When I look back at the newborn pics of my kids, the ones that you snap as soon as they are born, I will totally admit they are not cute! Newborns are all wrinkly, have blotches, and are just odd looking. The time they look the best is about a week after birth! Then they are totally adorable!! But that first week… Only the parents think they are the best looking little angels ever ;)

From the original artists website:

“The process of reborning a doll is being able to create as realistic baby as possible.

This is achieved by firstly buying or creating a baby corpse to make a doll mould from. It is then neccessary to begin peeling the skin off of the baby’s head, body and limbs through a variety of different techniques to give the doll a very realistic human skin effect. ”

OK, I may have made a few slight modifications to the text…
