The Fake Baby Fad
An increasing number of childless women are taking fake babies to the park, out to eat, and even hosting birthday parties for them. Forty-nine-year-old Linda is married with no children of her own. Now, she says she feels like a mother because she has Reborns -- dolls made to look and feel like the real thing. Women interested in this "hobby" can spend a few hundred bucks to over a thousand on the faux infants. The owner of Reborn, Lachelle Moore, offers this unintentionally chilling line, "What's so wonderful about Reborns is that, um, they're forever babies."
Idle seems to be getting stranger and stranger content. This one just made me wince, though... It was pretty much the same wince I had when I saw realdolls back in 2001. The word 'creepy' comes to mind, and I'm not talking about the fake humans.........
No sig for you! Come back one year!
