  1. Coolest photos on your blog yet! Love the irony of showing the mechanical reality behind the emotional illusion and associative attachments inherent in the baby doll…

  2. I think that it is a perfect demonstration of the reason “uniformity” is alien to the human psyche, hence the reactions. Well done!
