I thought I wanted to make toys.
It’s interesting that we don’t remember our first toy (which we met in our “goo-goo gaga” time), even though it’s our first experience with a toy. Generally, these toys were chosen by adults for their own self-satisfaction. And you grew up with, played with, threw, and licked these toys. It’s close, but not the same, as a monkey, a rabbit or a duck.
The world of toys is super eccentric. I like it, though. I mean, I love it. Even if a bear was wearing sky-blue fur; or an ostrich was driving a car; or a giraffe was walking on two legs; or a car had two eyes, a nose, and a mouth; or an Ultraman’s legs were twisted in a weird way…Everything is fantastic, and kids are hooked on toys all over the world.
How wonderful! I decided I’m going to make toys that will make adults happy, like eating a “Chips Ahoy!” warmed by a icrowave! I was so excited that I entered the following words into Google: “An adult toy.” There were plenty of “ADULT” toys…
I would be happy if you enjoyed with my kinky world of toys. - Chika Tamba’pa’
