Art Hath No Fury Like a Gay Scorned
This is Charlie, the handmade gay doll created by Brazilian sculptor Fernando Carpaneda in mischievous response to certain antigay leaders. The doll's body is based on Russia's most famous gay, journalist and photographer Slava Mogutin, who was chosen by Carpaneda in honor Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, who banned demonstrations of gay pride in his country. The doll's face was inspired by the Brazilian evangelical priest, Edino Fonseca, a homophobic Brazilian politician who suggested using taxpayer money to establish clinics to cure gays of gayness. Charlie's uncut penis comes in flaccid or erect modes, and the doll is included in the permanent collections of New York's Museum of Sex, the Las Vegas Erotic Heritage Museum, and London's Gay Doll Museum. Many more dolls and purchase info are at the Leslie Lohman Gay Art Foundation. Homos will want to collect 'em all!
