My wife doesn't take much interest in what I produce using Poser. She occasionally makes a comment if she's passing the room; she thinks the fairies are too "grown up" (she prefers the ones in the "Flower Fairy" books) but the robots are acceptable. I pointed out that if I made the fairies like the ones in the books then I'd be posting pictures of children - and that is rather dangerous ground nowadays.

She does, however, recognise the fact that it "keeps me out of mischief", though Lord knows what mischief I could get up to nowadays, aged 70!

Playing with dolls, eh? Well, I blame my sister; she used to get me to help her cut out the paper dolls and their dresses from the newspapers (just after the war).
