[Q_BE]

I used to claim that i was allergic to water just to get out of **94** it. i don't care what anyone says it DOES have a taste, and it tastes like sucking on the end of an iron slab (not that ive ever done that O.o)
these days though ive gotten past the gag reflex when i drink even tap water, though i do prefer bottled or filtered. green tea is my best friend <3 love it to death and heck its an antioxident so its like two in one.

Have you tried going to WebMD to categorize your water-aversion? A metallic taste to water might be a symptom of a deeper medical condition...not that I want to make you a hypochondriac or anything like I am.

Oddly enough, I don't really obsess over WebMD myself in spite of my mild hypochondria. Anyway, I say you're not a hypochondriac if you're really sick. It was my hypochondria that alerted my family to my hormonal condition that had been affecting me for years and we never knew...

Ladon, it sounds like your 'alien' creation is quite the clever creation.

I look forward to to seeing pics of the 'aliens' out of costume, so to speak.  I'm trying to fully understand how they were constructed.  I think I've got it, more or less, but....

Btw, clever usage of the **39** material + water.

[Ladon]

Why thank you MDF, I thought so.  I've thought a few times about figuring out an adhesive that sticks to the silicone better, and rigging up a way to make them inflatable, for a bit of BE fun.

She's been feeling ill since we returned from the show, she's still had a feeling of congestion and frequent headaches since that bout back in what..January?  Two courses of different antibiotics, prednazone, and random OTC solutions, nothing has really helped much.  Anyway, she said I could get some pics soon, but she wasn't up to it the last few days.

I did get some "out of costume" pics of the falsies, as MDF put it.  Here they are.  This one is how they usually fit in her bra, she'll usually have me help fasten the band for her while she holds the cups in place.

For some reason, the silicone sealant I use doesn't make a firm grab on the silicone of the shell, so eventually they have to be re-sealed.  Probably just a different kind of silicone, I'm not a chemist.

You can see the 'nipple' of the toy here, the collar made it pretty easy to avoid tearing the silicone when I turned it inside out.  This stuff is amazingly stretchy.  You can also sorta see how supple they are, once she's wearing them I'd challenge almost anyone to guess they aren't real.

Here's a comparison with one of the jumbo ones I made for fun, they're quite a bit firmer, and a LOT heavier, but she still likes to cram them into a worn out wire-free bra now and then.  It's a pretty breathtaking sight when she does.

Last one, this is a smaller version of the toy we used as the shell.  With the tendrils turned to the inside, there's absolutely no sloshing to be heard, and she'll happily wear them to **82** in and everything.


On a tangent:  We went into a Lane Bryant at the mall in Sacramento during some free time after the show.  She was actually WEARING a 40H, and it fits the combined volume of her falsies and her breasts perfectly.  The saleswoman *measured* her and said she should be in a 36DD.  That's like...her normal size without the 1000cc stuffers.  What gives?  She indulged the woman, and tried them on...not even close.  Then again, we knew that.  Why don't they accept "I'm wearing a 40H, I'd like to try a 38H" at face value?  They lost a sale when she laughed at the sizes she was offered, we'll just try Lady Grace next time.

Very cool construction there, Ladon.

I'm trying to think of a way to help the silicone's adhesion.  Perhaps using some sandpaper to roughen up the surface where you plan to apply the silicone...?

The only other thing I can think of at the moment is using a bicycle tire patch kit.  The glue may not quite work right on that material, but....

[Ladon]

Yeah, it might be worth a try, but usually I think that uses a vulcanizing agent which wouldn't have the right effect on silicone.  The trouble I've had is that the toy silicone is super stretchy (I can blow one of these up to 300% of the shown size, or more, with air) while the silicone sealant is much less pliable.

Anyway, they work great most of the time.  I've got a few new pics coming now, forgive the low quality, I forgot my HD ZI6 doesn't take native HD pics.

By the way, the headaches I mentioned last week...turns out the CT scan showed sinus polyps.  Doctor says he's fairly certain that they're the root of the issue.  Gave her some Vicodin for the time being until she can get in to have them corrected. 

I don't know what that involves but it sounds...uncomfortable.  I keep imagining the nasal equivalent of a colonoscopy.

I know someone who started with sinus headaches one time.  I don't want to get into too many Internet-searchable details, but suffice it to say that the stuff they did to his head would make the nasal equivalent of a colonoscopy look like a walk in the park.    His story was an astonishing one, in more ways than one.  Even if I could relate his story to the best of my ability, it would pale to his ability to tell it himself.

Long story short, definitely get those polyps taken care of.

[Ladon]

Definitely.  The real pain has only been a couple weeks, she was just complaining of a 'stuffy head' for a while, ever since she was mostly well from being sick.

She's to the point she can't really cope with the pain, so there's no choice but to deal with it.  Hopefully she'll be on the mend by next week, doctor has surgery day on fridays and wednesdays.

We were quite concerned when the stuffiness didn't go away for so long, and then started to hurt again.  I've never heard of such a thing so I was worried about cancer or worse!  Is there worse?  o.O  Anyway, thankfully the doctor sounds confident everything is under control.

From what little you said, I'm glad we got it checked out. I read a few posts from people with similar symptoms, and several couldn't find any cause for their pain, no polyps, no inflammation, no infection...just pain and pressure.  The body is a funny thing sometimes. 

Reminds me of a subject written about it a psychology book I read.  He had ringing in one ear, even AFTER they went so far as to remove the eardrum or something like that.  Turned out it was a psychological symptom with secondary benefits.  Long story short, hypnotist asked his subconscious to communicate by paralyzing his arms instead.  No more ringing!  Next time someone asked him to do menial work instead of his job, his arms went numb.   

But I do believe, in this case, it is, literally, all in her head. *rimshot*

I was looking at your falsies and I had to try to make a pair for my wife. She's interested in a BA but not until after the next **09** is done with them first. Anyways, back to topic I used the alien balls you found and a tape from cableas

 http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pod/standard-pod-wrapped.jsp?id=0028443&navCount=1&parentId=cat20150&masterpathid=&navAction=push&cmCat=MainCatcat20075-cat20150&parentType=index&indexId=cat20150&rid=

It's called Tear Aid and it was ready to go immedeatly. I accidentally put them in the washer too and they're fine. We made a larger set out of a silicone punching balloon and that worked really well. It was pretty hard turning it inside out but after that I was able to roll the little thing you blow it up with down and stick it in the balloon and tape over it with the tear aid tape. We've only had them made for about 3 days so I guess time will tell how well they work.

Good luck with your trip guys. Thanks for sharing too.

[Ladon]

Glad to know there's another pair out there!   Keep us informed on your experiments!

Now that I think about it, I wonder if there's been any experimentation on using thicker, soft silicone shells for the 'real thing', even when filled to an ideal point with water, they seem to feel very similar to her natural breasts.

I'm definitely no expert in the field tho.

[Ladon]

OK, another update on the "falsies".  Harmony no longer wears them all the time, but that's fine by me.  She surprises me with them from time to time and it makes much more of an impact anyway.

I discovered that the 'alien' toys I've discussed in the past ARE NOT SILICONE!  They're a hot-melt thermopolymer.  Silicone won't melt at any reasonable temperature, that's one of its useful traits.  I discovered that these toys might not be silicone after all, and in fact they are much more like the 'sticky hands' or 'wall crawlers' you find in gumball machines.  The substance is super stretchy and melts at a kitchen-achievable temperature. (350 for the commercial product http://www.monstermakers.com/product/elastigel-cyberskin-hotflesh-thermal-gel-polymelt.html)  I melted a few of the strands left over from my latest experiment and they cooked right down and I was left with a stretchy puddle of rubbery stuff.

The reason for this experimentation?  Our friend asked for her own pair of fake boobs!  She was an exotic dancer in her teens and twenties but got severely overweight during a long depression caused by her fiance's death.  She said she was fat but her boobs were proportionate.  When she started losing the weight, the first thing to go was the boobs, to her dismay.  We had a LONG talk about implants and stuff (she also has PCOS, for which induced lactation can be helpful) and it was really great.  She admired Harmony's falsies and asked me for a pair.    She might even be one to enjoy BE in a fantasy sense as well.

Will soon post a full tutorial for the Mark III boobs!  I found a local, easy source for super absorbent polymer!
