The first time I saw a toy by Clara Raurich was through a mutual friend and former teacher of both, the great Juan Puig.
I was immediately struck by the beauty of her beautiful bell-shaped puppets, with their beautiful round butts, very narrow waist and also narrow torso. All that matched perfectly with the concept of my own toys. But besides that, there were also her little faces, sweet and naughty at the same time, those kind of expressions that make you smile and bite your lip at the same time when you see them.
I spent some time trying to figure out how my girls would be through the eyes of Pussie Toys until contacted her and we could make it happen. She created for SomeStrangeThings both versions of the original dolls ThreeTimesNever and Obskure, and its own version of TTN in latexxx. Three beautiful Pussie Toys dolls.

Hmmm... What happens when a naughty pin-up pixie meets a gamer pixel? Well, we don't know exactly what happened because the result is a bit censored, but anyway we get Pixieled!
Pixieled is a naked sculpture. Her body was carefully pixelated by the expertise hands of the pixelmaster vuitbits and tattooed at the most pure SomeStrangeThings style with several references about the video game world and other stuff. Pixieled 's gamer headset is removable (nothing more to remove here!). And she has long legs! XP

This is a special commissioned work made for a good friend Reese, the artist behind Artifex Kindred & twigling.com
When Reese discovered Obskure-Death-Is-Punk, she was impacted contrast of the frontal strength of the skull face behind the hood with the feminine curves visible from behind.
She envisioned it as the concept of a feminist punk rock wraith to give even more power to this sculpture, who apart from her obvious nod to Lizbeth Salander, already oozes of equal parts memento mori and the Witch King’s famous last words: No man can kill me
She is of course Death-Is-Punk #13 out of the edition of 25.
The Feminazgûl logo is a modification of the original by designer Annan Åkerman to mesh with the styling of Obskure-Death-Is-Punk.
