Why Can’t We Be (synthetic) Friends?
My name is Polly Esther. I customize clothing for dolls (and robots), the majority of whom are made mostly of silicone and are made in factories. You might have heard the term “sex doll” before, but that’s not the term I like to use (though it’s often the term that needs to be brought up for clarity’s sake when I’m explaining what I do for a living). I like to use the terms “synthetic companion”, or “synthetic human”. Synthetic companions are NOT easy to dress and undress, and every organic human I know that has one staying with them is not comfortable leaving their synthetic companion unclothed. This is where I come in: my job is to make dressing and undressing their doll a more positive experience. Sometimes I receive a request for an elaborate, original outfit to be sewn from scratch, but clients usually hire me as their personal stylist, shopper, and seamstress. Once I’ve put together an ensemble that suits the synthetic person’s personality, I have to sew-in openings/closures in places that clothing usually does not have, which is the trickiest part of my job.
