驚かれるかもしれませんが、ラブドールやダッチワイフを購入する人は、必ずしも忍び寄ったり変質したりするわけではありません。私自身のダッチワイフショップは、ラブドールとのセックスではなく、それらを使用して最も美しくエロティックなアートを作成するというコンセプトを提供している数少ないショップの1つであるため、直接の経験からあなたに伝えることができます。 ラブドールは多くのポーズをとることができ、ドレスアップしてお好みの衣装を着ているのを見るのはとても楽しいです。私の顧客の中には、たくさんのポーズをとることができ、好きなように着飾ることができるという理由だけで、お気に入りの人形の写真を撮るのに何時間も費やすことができます。 これらの人形を使って作られたエロティックアート(写真/ビデオ)は、女性の姿へのオマージュだと思います。女性の姿はどれほど美しいか..それは賞賛し、永遠にするものです。 人妻リアルドール 何百もの異なる衣装を試してみることをいとわない見事な女性を見つけるのは非常に難しいです。多くの種類のポーズをとることをいとわないと同時に、あなたが写真を撮ることを気にしない人。おそらく、写真を編集/フォトショップして個人のコレクションに追加したり、オンラインで共有したりすることもできます。そのようなことをするために本物の女性から許可を得てみてください。この種の許可を得るのは簡単ではなく、そうすると女性の評判を傷つけることさえあります。 そうは言っても、これらのラブドールは、女性の形へのオマージュとして意図されたアートを作るのに最適です。私からラブドールを買う人は、通常、エロティックアート、女性の形、美しさ、セクシーな服に情熱を持っている文明的で普通の人です。私が彼らに売っている人形は、彼らが建設的な方法で彼らの趣味を楽しむことを可能にします。 今回、バイヤーが私に近づいてきて、彼が新しい家を飾るのを手伝ってもらえないかと私に尋ねました。彼は最近引退し、彼の妻は数年前に亡くなりました。彼は大きな家を購入しましたが、一人でそこに住むつもりでした。彼は、いくつかの愛の人形が彼の新しい家で彼をより孤独に感じさせないかもしれないと感じました、そして彼らの美しさは彼に喜びをもたらすでしょう。それはうまくいきました..彼は、彼らが想像以上に美しく、実際に彼らの資金を増やしたと私に言いました。彼は引退し、一人だったので、この新しい趣味を始めるまで、それほどすることはありませんでした。彼は人形の写真を作り始め、人々が人形について話をしたり写真を共有したりするオンラインコミュニティを見つけました。前回私が彼に話しかけたとき、彼は人形が本当に彼に多くの喜びと何人かの新しい友達さえももたらしたことを私に明らかにしました。 私が言いたいのは、これらの人形はあなたの人生を豊かにし、セックスだけでなく素晴らしいものにも使えるということです。また、私たちは情熱を持っていることから喜びを引き出していると信じています。女性の姿、美しさ、写真に情熱を持っているなら、きっとこの種の人形はあなたに喜びだけでなく多くの喜びをもたらすでしょう。 Independent Drilling Engineering AssociateS

What do you think the following have in common: fire alarms, burglar alarms and telegram delivery services? You might be forgiven for thinking 'not much'. If you look at the modest beginnings of ADT home security, you will find that there is a link though. During the latter part of the 19th century there were a large number of small telegram delivery services doing business in the USA. To enable them to make use of economies of scale, all of them amalgamated in 1874 and formed a single company called American District Telegraph, or ADT. The company's main business was still to deliver telegrams. With the ever increasing popularity of telephones, the market for telegrams started to dwindle. The telegram ÍøÒ³°æ company went through difficult times and wasn't able to find alternative sources of income. This led to it being taken over by AT&T during the first few months of 1909. Now they had sufficient capital behind them to start a process of diversification and they soon ventured into burglar alarms and fire alarms. This led to exponential growth in the US market. During the 'fifties they also moved into the United Kingdom Market and from there to numerous other countries. Right now the company has branches or franchises in over 50 countries around the world. ADT derives most of its profits from installing, maintaining and monitoring alarm systems. Something that lures a lot of customers to them is the fact that they don't normally charge an initial fee when installing an alarm system on your premises. You sign a fixed length contract and everything is included in your monthly payment. When you have an ADT alarm installed on your premises and it's triggered, whether by someone breaking in, a fire, a medical emergency or manual activation, the signal goes to one of their control rooms. There it is evaluated by a monitoring specialist and he then takes the appropriate action. Depending on what type of signal was received, he will either phone you back, or directly contact the police, fire brigade or medical services. If you are therefore living on your own and you suffer from a life-threatening medical condition, you can have a special system installed which will respond to any medical need that might arise. Should you have a large house with a lot of valuable property, you most likely want to monitor it visually on a permanent bases. The company will then fit a home video surveillance system at your premises which is connected to their control room seven days a week. This way you can rest assured that ADT is aware what's going on both inside and outside your house at all times. The company can most likely ascribe a large part of their success during the past hundred years to the fact that new employees are trained to meticulous standards. Knowing what to do in an emergency situation is of the utmost importance. They also have written rules on how employees should handle certain situations. Another factor contributing to their success is the fact that ADT Home Security only utilizes state of the art technology in their security systems. For the home owner this should bring peace of mind, knowing that his property is protected by the best there is, not by a system already known inside out by every burglar in town.
