I remember I mentioned this during class one day and decided I should post the pictures. There's an antique store in my hometown--they've since reorganized--that used to have these broken, painted mannequins all over the place. One day I happened to take a bunch of pictures...
First, the wall of mannequins, from far away. They were all standing on a very top shelf that's much taller than me--this was taken from the other side of the warehouse-like room.
Next, my friend and I ran into this lovely lady in the middle of the room of old clothes. She was just in the middle of everything, and when I saw her over my shoulder I thought she was another human. Then my friend said she was much too creeped out by her painted eyes...
...so I covered her up with a veil. I don't know if this actually makes it any better. Maybe it's worse this way because you can't see her face clearly.
Hat model. She's not creepy, just amusing.
Now, this one is really painted pretty horribly, and the nose is just wrong. Creeeepy.
Lastly, some mannequin friends, seen from beneath where they were set upon the high shelf.
Note how they're missing various appendages. Kind of macabre.
Aaaaaand that's all for now! Hope I haven't terrified anyone! ^^;
