Manninkin Order
Well, I suppose Randie could’ve just put them on sale (with approval from a manager-type person)… Sticking it to Grace is more fun though.

Oh, that poor mannequin! I accidentally broke mine after having it only a few days. I was mortified… Luckily for me, a friend who lives in the same building is much handier with tools than I, and little Oscar* is back in one piece again…
* I called him Oscar because when he was in the box, he looked like the statue 🙂
I have two of those! Such fun. Poor Randie. At least she’s not sick anymore!
Why would someone need thirty mannequins? Art teacher perhaps?
I love how all the other manikins look slightly ill at ease…they know they could be next!
Quite possibly the best use for the little guys. :0
I had it in mind that Mrs. Tinkle is an instructor at the nearby Cypress Bay Peninsula College.
I don’t find that the wooden mannikins are all that helpful though. You can’t really get very good posing from them .. but there are these plastic, better jointed, and entirely realistic mannikins… They remind me of the Bionic Man doll I had as a kid (therefore I call him Steve) … Buck I think is what’s on the product (as in Buck naked).
ABJD/BJD’s are fantastic for posing.
Obitsu even supply plenty of plastic models that pose wonderfully. They do cost quite a bit initially, but they are hardy little models and make for interesting displays.
http://www.parabox.jp/eng/ – Parabox stocks Obitsu made dolls and they stock many different head styles. It might be worth a look since the money i spent on wooden models i might as well have thrown on a pyre… or bought one of these straight away!
Funny! I don’t use them either but I having them around makes the place seem a bit more “artsy.” Makes me want to buy a few just for show.
Wow… Those Art S. Buck ones are impressive… Not a bad price, either (I didn’t do much of a search to see if I could beat $31.19). I rather wish I had one of those ones, now. Still, Oscar will have to suffice for now 🙂
OMG yes, there are images that I have never really liked that have won contests.
