Human


Under the careful management of George González, the JAMIEshow Muses line features a handsome cast of coded-as-male, 1:6th scale, BJD characters made of beautifully matte resin and subtly hand painted countenances. 

Dolldom appreciates the attention to detail both anatomical as well as structural that allows for a doll unlike any other in that scale in the market. The fashions offered by the company focus lavishly on the fantasy of current trends, but, luckily, the sobriety of a well-cut black suit has occurred twice since the line's inception. It is in this style, refreshing with the absence of shirts and combined with complementary garments by The Confusion83 and Integrity Toy's Fashion Royalty, that Dolldom constructs this October entry. From suits to jackets to underwear, it's a tribute to the severity of the color of the night, for it is at nighttime and amongst the shadows, that the Muses by JAMIEShow express their willingness to engage in the emotional maelstrom of the ultimate human pursuit.

The Human League's 1986 hit and sempiternal classic, "Human", beautifully contextualizes this photo portfolio.

Come on, baby, dry your eyes.
Wipe your tears.
Never like to see you cry.
Won't you please forgive me?


I wouldn't ever try to hurt you,


I just needed someone to hold me,
To fill the void while you were gone,
To fill this space of emptiness.

I'm only human,

Of flesh and blood I'm made.
Human,
Born to make mistakes. 

So many nights I longed to hold you,

So many times I looked and saw your face

Nothing could change the way I feel,

No one else could ever take your place.

I'm only human,

Of flesh and blood I'm made.

Human,
Born to make mistakes.
(I am just a man) Human
(Human) Please forgive me.

The tears I cry aren't tears of pain,
They're only to hide my guilt and shame.
I forgive you, now I ask the same of you,
While we were apart, I was human too!

(Human, human)

I'm only human,
Of flesh and blood I'm made
(I am just a man!)
Human,
Born to make mistakes.
(Human, human).
