Boing Boing Staging

Desperately Seeking Lily

My brother found this mysterious proto-porn gadget while cleaning out a neighbor’s garage. I’m trying to figure out what the hell it is. Can you help me? Click on thumbnails for full-size; link to movie at end of post.

Here’s what I know. She’s blonde, nude, stacked, made of gummy polymer, and her name is “Lily,” as you can see from the stamp on the back side of the petri dish thing in which she resides. But what’s totally insane about her is that there’s this tiny metal crankshaft sticking out of her ass. When you turn the handle, she gyrates a seductive little gyro-dance. The images sketched on the reverse side depict bottles of perfume and bubbly scented girly stuff — trapped inside this transparent disc, she’s doomed to endless command performances from her bathtub.


The date on the back — 1952 — indicates this tease toy might have been manufactured for GIs during the Korean War. Remember, there were no internets. Lily was a sort of analog hothot camgirl — only with better tit bit depth and finer frame rate than free adult site previews of today.


Using the “record movie” feature on a Canon Powershot S50, my mom helped me stage and shoot a short movie of Lily dancing her “come-hither-beeg-sailor” dance. I realize that’s kind of weird. And if you knew how respectable and unlike me my mom is, you’d *really* think that’s weird. But I discovered that shooting a gadget porn movie with your mom can be an oddly bonding experience. Like when she drove me to my first big punk rock concert, Bad Brains and the Dead Kennedys, way back when I was 12. She knew that was weird, too, but she loved me. So, thanks mom.

Anyway — have you seen another Lily before? Do you know where she came from? Whose pockets she lined?
