Unless you are uncomfortable, you won't move Fantasies are very private experiences, but when we so desire we all have the potential within us to do odd, or socially unacceptable, things. Welcome to the House of the Virgo Dolls, it's quite simple to join. There is a website involved, like a sophisticated dating agency but much more advanced. The Doll Collector (42 years) places the advert for Virgos, female, looking for a new life: imagine six months away with a group of other Virgo women in a rich paradise by the sea? You don't forget that first glimpse of the Icing Sugar House bathed in soft pinkish-orange light, hidden behind tall, screening trees, through a vast electronic gate. You've been interviewed and accepted by the Chaperone, Kristen-Jane: early 30s, large warm brown eyes, her words City of London perfect, she's made you feel at ease. But life is complex, and behind appearances people are not always what they seem. The first rule must be to collect dolls you like. The year is not important. The day is: first Sunday of their new life. The House contains deep secrets: secret (and unmentioned) creations set up for the benefit of those damaged and disillusioned women looking to re-find their lives there. So we meet the Virgo Dolls: Redhead Doll Paolina (33); African Doll Kenisha (27); Japanese Doll Aiko (36); Left-Handed Model Doll Caitriona (30); Blonde Doll Udnie (24); Silent Doll Kiki-Lola (41); Tart Doll Shanika (42); Virgin Doll Natasha (29); S&M Doll Lucinda (44); Lesbian Doll Katchina (22); Virgo Extra Doll Elaine (29). Each is a survivor of sorts, but about to face the biggest challenge of all: what it is exactly to be a woman among woman - and a Virgo at that? The Dolls, their collective vitality: the Chaperone takes it in, watching them to the smallest degree, noting their detail, mind-mapping their scintillating sexuality. 'Every one of you is terribly special, ' she tells them: 'that's why you are here.' The House of the Virgo Dolls is potentially a paradise by the sea, but as relationships are tested to the full, it's not only human beings that go wrong - machines can break down too. The Virgo Dolls is a romantic fantasy set partly around advanced created beings. We search and we find; and we have and we hold; and we grab and we lose. But the best and deepest love sometimes comes only without total human control. In the end though, at the hands of the ultimate woman creator, are these Virgo women only human dolls after all?
