Japanese Scientists Recruit Antarctic Love Dolls

[Nick]

From The Tokyo Reporter:

"The improvement in the design of our products over the past 30 years,” says showroom manager Yoshio Nakamura of Orient Industries, one of Japan’s leading love-doll manufacturers, “has been done by listening to our customers.”

[...]

"The president of Orient, which also has a showroom in Osaka, is Hideo Tsuchiya, who got his start in the industry in the 1960s. He made a name for himself when Japanese scientists stationed at the Showa Base in Antarctica recruited two of his early blow-up gals, named Antarctica I and II, to help thaw the local chill."

At pole in the early part of this decade, the guy in charge of the powerplant had a love doll.  He carried everywhere; usually drunk too.

Apparently he had his face painted black with sharpies on the flight to McMurdo.  I remember him proudly showing me the bag of Valium the MD had given him for "flight jitters". He was stone drunk when he got on the C-130, with the doll under his arm.
