Brief Interlude – Nominee at Spider Awards, an experiment: the doll as a substitute

By chance, because I am on too many art/photo/etc. related websites, get their newsletter, and admittedly not always read them, ahem, rarely, I must have missed this one, so far anyways, but nevertheless I won a mini nomination, with:

Josiane Keller - Vicky bondage 3

in the Black and White Spider Awards – 10th Gallery, in the category: Nude – Professional

I am grateful, but I have to admit: I submitted this picture as an experiment.

You all know by now, this is not a living person from flesh and blood, but a small-scale handmade puppet from ceramic, made for exactly the purpose of modelling on a photo that looks “real”.

人形  “ningyo” = doll, puppet.

Can a small scale puppet be “nude”?
(Obviously, “she” can. And YES, of course I find Vicky very sexy myself.)

To compare: this is a real girl:
