Horny Hounds Rejoice. A Sex Doll For Dogs Hits The Market.

In April of 2007 I blogged about the 'HotDoll', a concept design of a sex doll for dogs from a design studio named Feel Addicted. And though the Hotdoll was plenty written about, it remains a design concept and prototype that has yet to come to market.

Seems a Brazilian company has beat them to it. The Doggie Lover Doll by Pet Smiling is actually available for purchase now to placate your randy canine.

the press release:
You may know or have probably heard about these dolls for men that are very popular in Sex Shops around the world. There are inflatable ones, full-body, silicone, as well as other models. So now the first doll for dogs has been launched in Brazil. That’s right, a doll for dogs to practice safe sex. The majority of non-neutered dogs spend a good chunk of time looking for something to hump. They try pillows, furry creatures, people’s legs and even other animals.

To put an end to this nonsense and improve the little ones' lives, the enterprise PetSmiling, headquartered in Miami, United States, and in São Paulo, Brazil, is bringing to the market the DoggieLoverDoll: a female canine manufactured in soft rubber with a silicone vagina and an easy to clean reservoir. The product also comes with a tube of water-based intimate lubricant, to increase the useful life of the doll.



This doll comes in three sizes: small, medium and large, to satisfy all existing races. “I had the idea to make this doll when my Maltese started to grab everybody’s legs. I did some research and couldn’t find anything like it, anywhere in the world. I decided to make it!”, reveals Marco Giroto, owner of the PetSmiling company, responsible for this worldwide novelty. This product is exclusive and has been patented in the major countries of the world where it will be sold. Soon after it was launched, PetSmiling already got orders from several countries, including the United States, Germany and Japan.

During the doll’s test period with a few canines, including the Maltese Flock (responsible for the idea), the pets showed a better quality of life based on less anxiety, less barking, and less territorial demarcation. In other words, the dogs live a better life, satisfying their repressed sexuality, in some cases for many years.

When a dog tries to hump legs, stuffed animals and other objects, he cannot reach an ejaculation. With the DoggieLoverDoll he can. Human beings have their hands to masturbate themselves, now the domestic animals, which have practically no contact with females in heat, can alleviate themselves with a toy designed specifically for them. Dogs have a great sexual appetite and this novelty, surely will better their lives.

The Beauty Of Wisdom. Literally & Figuratively Captured By Andrew Zuckerman.

Inspired by the idea that one of the greatest gifts one generation can pass to another is the wisdom it has gained from experience, the wisdom project, produced with cooperation from Archbishop Desmond Tutu, seeks to create a record of a multicultural group of people who have all made their mark on the world.



Award-winning photographer Andrew Zuckerman's beautiful book contains stunning portraits of artists, politicians, peacemakers, actors and other well known figures dispensing pearls of wisdom and an accompanying 60 minute film comprised of each and every interview.

The Suzuki Hayabusa

Barry McGee (aka Twist) decorated a special Suzuki Hayabusa for the show:




Damien (aka DRx.) Romanelli's leather outfit for the show:
"I worked in conjunction with Alpinestars whom provided me with technical motorcycle apparel as a canvas for our contribution to the show. Using an Alpinestars racing suit, gloves , boots and Mad Max as inspiration, I deconstructed and reinterpreted the motorcycle suit. Long time collaborator and good buddy Nathan Cabrera flipped the mannequin and helped me bring the creation to life."- DRx. Romanelli
