Mama Anders, an artist from the Netherlands. She’s cut up various blow up dolls and made them into what you might call track jackets: the kind of jacket one would wear to the track. These are not made for the club; although I’d imagine they’d be pretty water resistant and durable. Not that I have any personal experience with blow up dolls, although the word on the street is that various other members of the Manolith office might (but nobody is owning up! c’mon, guys).
Says the artist: “I customize existing tracksuit tops with parts of the blow-up dolls, the head, the breasts, the vagina, the anus. These dolls are so ugly and vulgar that turning them into something beautiful has become a challenge for me. The doll is a means to convey something else”.
Well, that’s a relief. You can contact Mama Anders here at her website or have a fun filled night making your own. Barrels of laughter will be had making these, I can assure you. Just you, your friends, maybe a game of Boggle, and 4 or 5 blow up dolls. Oh, youth. Oh, art majors from the Netherlands. Oh, you. Always giving me something to blog about.

The designer is not a 'her' it's a him. "Mama Anders' is simply the name of the firm. Get the proper info here: http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2009/03/making-blow-up-sex-dolls-fashionable.html
