Ailuran Odalisque (with a little help from her friends)

Photo session! Of a sort. I'm carefully staging the giant furry sex toys I've been building, the Foam Furs, so that they look lifelike.

I take care--they can't just be good record shots. I need GREAT photos--because truly convincing shots can summon the real spirit of that being to inhabit the soft sculpture and animate it. The statue comes alive!

I'm conflicted about the staging, though. I like sexy, revealing poses--after all, the Foam Furs aren't kids' stuffed toys, but anatomically complete furs. But I worry any sexuality will offend or repel others--maybe even the spirits I want to lure into them! What if a spirit feels she's being offered an incarnation as a sex toy ONLY? I don't want that any more than I want sexless teddybears!

So for balance I try to shoot some modest pictures too. But that turns out to be hard. Because these bodies were built to flirt. They want to show off!

I'm posing Ailura the catgirl, modestly, and she keeps wiggling around, waving her cunt and begging. Trying to seduce a strong soul to... enter her.

Bodies have their own agendas.

DREAM NOTES

• Staging photos: not just about the Foam Furs! I'm staging more Cendancer dioramas, photos of centauroid dancers, this batch non-Barbie ones (of three species, natives to an alternate Earth called Abyssia), with sets by my housemate Lily--fabrics, decorated treebranches & miniquilts... Seems my dreams love the idea.
• Sexual versus sexless: I just saw the Celtic animation Song of the Sea--for kids, kept carefully sexless, but beautifully stylized and quite mystical. In contrast, the disc had an ad for an animated feature about a clique of girls in Monster High School. Sexy but pedestrian-looking--like all they HAVE is sex! No art, no politics, no intellectual or spiritual lives, nothin'.
• ACTION: try staging photos when the light improves next week (I use natural light, and it's stormy today). And shoot whatever the figures want, from chaste to blatant, in the same session. Why not? Don't let humans decide what's tasteful! Always a terrible idea.
