An author used realistic photos of Hot sex dolls in an effort to 'reclaim ownership of the female body'.
Grace Banks has used pictures of blow-up dolls based on celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe to Lady Gaga in her new book called Play With Me, which features a sex-doll version of Girl With A Pearl Earring on the cover.

Further photographs depict the realistic images of sex dolls either lying in a double bed or two female sex dolls lying next to each other on a double bed.
Other pictures show a doll that resembles quirky singer/songwriter Lady Gaga, who will be starring in the new movie A Star Is Born alongside actor Bradley Cooper.

Author Grace Banks said: "This book looks at the ownership of the female nude in today's current political, economic and social climate, as well as how, through sex dolls, mannequins, CGI, nude neon reliefs and other appropriations of the female form.
"Artists are reclaiming the ownership of the female body from the pervasive male-defined tropes and spaces for the female body in contemporary art.
"The female nude is one of the most contentious topics of our post-internet age. In the spring of 2016, Kim Kardashian West Instagrammed a photograph of herself naked with two black stripes censoring her body.

"Within a few seconds, the image generated 1.7 million likes, over 336,000 comments, thousands of shares across social media, and the world, from celebrities to fans, went crazy."
Some of the first sex dolls were invented by Dutch sailors in the 17th century who needed company while isolated at sea during long journeys.
With the book, first published in 2017, Grace wanted to highlight the trend for objects often used for female objectification such as sex dolls, neon strip signs and mannequins.
The marketing for sex dolls has increased in the USA around 1992; the last 20 years have seen the development of the dolls to look more realistic and this has been evident through the internet.

The method of retail purchase has improved which has contributed to its market growth to being worth over an estimated £15.5 billion ($20 billion) worldwide and is expected to rise over £23.3 billion ($30 billion) by 2020.
Grace added: "The political activism is what I wanted to highlight in these works, so I've organized the chapters into some of the most pressing problems for women today the commodification of women's bodies, the bias for women's bodies created by men in art, the changing nature of gender binaries and what will happen to the female body in the future."
Play With Me is published by Laurence King Publishing and is available to buy now.
