Candles - naked torsos

I like candles, and I like browsing Facebook marketplace.

I'm not sure if its me or not, but my god every other advert seems to be a male or female torso.

That'll be based on your search history and/or what you've been talking about close to your phone...

I've noticed these candles in lots of interiors type Instagram accounts. It's usually because a big fashion house has launched them at an eye-watering price, so plenty of replicas will be knocking about.

Well candles... that's what I am searching for, there's not much naked torso talking

What the hell? Who buys this shit?

You'll get twice as many now they know you don't like them! 😂

That female torso on a light bulb photo looked like a torso in a womb on my tiny phone screen! weird, weird, weird. What does it look like when you light the female one & it gets to boob level?? Terrible plastic surgery or breastfeeding wax?

And now you've posted about it on here you'll get even more!!

Yeah, this and naked torso vases are the latest interior trend.

One of my facebook friends sells these at £15 each and can't keep up with demand, I think they are nasty myself

My sister bought one of these for some reason! It was a chubbier one, for body positivity or something. I've definitely seen them a lot of places. Not sure why it's a trend, it's awful.

When I’ve seen these (everywhere atm) I wonder if you actually burn them or use them more just for an ornament?

UltimateBlends · 24/02/2021 11:37

I'm not on social media, and I've not seen these.

They're horrendous. Why are these even a thing?
I mean do you burn it? Watch a human body burning?! Why?!

What does it look like when you light the female one & it gets to boob level??

Or when it gets lower down and you've just got a melting crotch?

bananaboats · 24/02/2021 11:47

I have also noticed they are very popular in the interiors pages on Instagram so I think they are just having a moment, I don't like them either!

RB68 · 24/02/2021 11:51

the thing is as usual the torsos are exagerated - if they were neo classical style maybe but the bust on the female one would give anyone a permanent back injury

Pizzaandgarlicdip · 24/02/2021 11:57

I make and sell candles and these are everywhere at the moment although I don’t sell them.
Really they should be more for decoration. If you were to burn them, they’d make a terrible mess of melted wax and would only take about 90 minutes to burn all the way down.
