I try to keep an eye out for mannequin parts for a friend of mine who likes to play with photography that involve body parts-n-such-stuff.... so far I've passed up a $1 Michael Jackson mannequin at an auction last summer (sad, I know --- i still think of him as "the one who got away" as this was right nearby in deerfield!!) .... i also passed by a set of small children mannequins in Ventura, CA (only $30 each!)because I couldn't figure out how to get them home with me on a plane (small child-like mannequin in suitcase? creepy. small child-like mannequin in overhead compartment? also creepy. both very good
stories buuuuuut...... it was determined a no-go mostly because they wouldn't fit in my suitcase and I wasn't going to have time to buy a suitcase after 5pm on a saturday when my flight was leaving at 6am the next morning. i also wasn't sure i could convince my old roommate to send them in the mail. opening a big box to find two children in it? also creepy ;) but fun!
