Just when you thought celebrities couldn't be exposed enough, Pipedream Products brings you ... celebrity blow-up dolls. Packaged in innuendo-laden boxes, and—after some inflating—ready to fulfill your dream of reenacting that scene from Dukes of Hazzard. After all, one night with Jessica Simpson might be out of the average guy's reach, but if you're willing to settle for a synthetic alternative, the doll inspired by the pop star will only run you $26.99. CEO of Pipedream Products and creator of the dolls, Nick Orlandino recently engaged in a little pillow talk with Radar and shared the finer points of his craft. Orlandino is like a Hugh Hefner presiding over his harem of plastic hotties. He loves 'em and leaves 'em ... at the office, swearing he never takes any of his 11 fetish dolls home with him. Why no male dolls? "We can't use porno guys [as models], because they're disgusting," says Orlandino, "but girls are a dime a dozen, so it's no problem at all"How did the dolls project get started? Do you have an emotional attachment to the blow-up babes? What doll floats your boat the most? We've sold over 100,000 of them. Sales for all of them have been consistent with each other. There isn't one that sells better than the others or worse. I'm hoping the Sarah Jessica one will be popular. We're releasing it around the time the Sex and the City movie comes out. I liked that show a lot, actually. Have you gotten any flak over the dolls? How long have you been in the business? Is there any celebrity you're dying to add to the collection? Why no man dolls?
