If you've ever flipped through the back pages of any sort of vintage "men's magazine", you likely saw ads for those hilariously pathetic, unrealistic, inflatable sex dolls, (which are basically rubber pool toys with a couple of holes already punched in, and how anyone could have any actual real fun with any of it is beyond me!) But there was always one mail-away ad in the girlie mag mix where the doll pictured seemed to be infinitely better made, higher quality like a mannequin, and apparently still made of sturdy, vinyl-like soft-skin flesh, --and this one was called The Instant Party Doll. Much more realistic looking, and designed in a very stylized, very cute cartoon girl way, TIPD had real hair, an hour glass figure, lots of other curves and adults only detail, plus a rather attractive, eyes closed face (minus the typically ridiculous "O" mouth so common with these types of dolls.) According to the ad, she had a variety of practical, everyday uses as well: in the office, club, conventions, etc, and yes, even as a mannequin, complete with a stand for displays. She was also $70, and to me, seemed a bit too good to be true, I mean, surely this was just another false advertising mail-away scam, right? But then I dug up a copy of the January 1967 issue of VUE Magazine, and lo and behold there was a 5-page, photo loaded feature article all about it...

ARGH! Somebody tell me how to clip out an order form on my computer screen, I've broken 2 pairs of scissors and 5 monitors already! That's way more money than $69.95!
I wonder if you can find one of these still in inflatable condition? Would go great along with all the mannequins!
Holy shit this is amazing! You can have an hourglass figured doll in your own home pretending to wash dishes and peek through closed curtains like a serial killer! Can you really call a man with a blowup doll a playboy though?
$70 in 1967 is the equivalent to about $625 today. Good gosh, one could "rent" a couple of real women for that (Even four or five if your standards aren't too high).

Have never seen one

Uhh, maybe? haha

It's all standards vs. options, as comedian Chris Rock once (kind of) said.
Some sexy REAL ladies coming up early next week, but first we'll be taking a trip to a haunted mansion for a mystery in need of some solvin'... stay tombed! And thanks for the comments :)
