I started by designing a skeleton that would mimic most of the key hard points of the female anatomy, hip bones, shoulder blades, thigh bones etc. and it’s scale is of an average woman.

At the same time I tried to keep the design basic enough that it can be reproduced. She has two major torso pivots, one for front to back and the other side to side. I angled her thighs to what I think is an optimum angle for most sexual positions, I used friction hinges so they spread nicely.

Next I began assembling and carving foam forms that fit to the skeleton. it was at this point that I was struck by the idea of keeping Vixen modular in design. I wanted to be able to disassemble and reassemble her at any time, so I carefully mapped out the seams in the foam to follow natural body lines of the anatomy. She has four foam parts that slip onto or attach to the skeleton. This approach has the benefit of allowing the entire form to move easily with no concerns of tearing.

The outer skin is the finishing touch which is made from a knit spandex, however, it could be made from a variety of fabrics and colors, plush, microfiber, pvc, spandex, vinyl. you name it. My main thought was to make it removable, washable and more importantly, replaceable.

I never in my life thought I would get into pattern making and sewing. However, when you have to accomplish something, you get motivated! I actually ended up enjoying the process.

Vixen’s breasts are a part of the outer skin, they’re around a D or DD cup size. Originally I carved them out of memory foam which I hollowed and added a denser foam inner core, I’ve found this combination mimics real breast fairly well. However, I found a great deal on some silicone breast forms on ebay, that fit perfect. They added a little weight, yet they give her a very nice giggle! They’re worth it:o)

I hope my sharing this will inspire others to share their skeltons in the closet. .
