Dreamdoll Factory

The realistic dolls, designed, moulded and painted to fulfill the every desire of customers. And making the  5,500 euro (£4,000) dolls, which weigh just 40kg, is just all in a day's work for three people at the Dreamdoll workshop, in Duppigheim, northern France. Owner Thierry Reverdi and employees Eric and Raphaela take light-weight aluminium 'skeletons' and painstakingly add 'flesh', eyes, features, hair and clothes to bring the dolls as close to life as their customers request.The Dreamdolls website describes their products as 'a range of realistic dolls of a quality and an exceptional beauty'. But it declares that although 'planned for sexual use' the 'lovedolls' are 'also used as realistic mannequins for photo studios for the catalogues of lingerie'. The company also insists that many of their customers are collectors who see the plastic models as works of art. Each custom-made doll which makes up the more expensive US Edition range takes them a week to make, from pouring the stain-proof and non-stick silicone into moulds to painting on layers of make-up.

Scalped Part IV

A Czech woman who had her hair and scalp ripped off by a powerful electric drill has almost fully recovered after undergoing surgery that replaced the skin using grafts from her arms and legs. Mother-of-four Petra Novotna, 27, had been using the electric drill with her hair tied up in a ponytail when a few strands became wrapped up in the spinning device. Within a fraction of a second it sucked the rest of the hair around the drill bit, and then jerked her head forward - tearing off the skin of her head in straight line from her eyes and the top of her nose around to the back of her head.

The young woman from the village of Tremosna in the Czech Republic had been rushed to the nearby hospital in a critical condition after her cries raised the alarm. She was in a serious condition when she was delivered to surgeons at the clinic of plastic surgery at the University Hospital of Vinohrady in the Czech Republic capital Prague. The horrific accident had left almost half her skull exposed, but as the mangled remains of her scalp were impossible to reattach, doctors had to operate immediately using tissue from the other parts of her body.

 The head of the clinic and Petra's doctor Andrej Sukop said: 'We took an 8 to 10centimetres long vascular graft from the patient's arms and legs and we put them on her face.' Petra says she is happy that the after-effects will not be so dramatic. Now, a few weeks after the horrible accident, she can already smile again and is looking forward to going back home.
