Mannequin


I recently acquired the coolest thing ever: a mannequin from Steve and Berry's. The Steve and Berry's in the Quad Cities is going out of business, and Aaron Wells and I both picked up mannequin's. In order to get mannequin's that we could bring home day of, we had to follow one of the workers into a back room full of mannequin's that was like Jefferey Dahmer's basement. An arm there, a torso there. As we were leaving, Aaron carrying the top of a female mannequin, myself carrying the top of a male, a small boy was being lead by his mother. He asked, "Mommy, what are they doing with those?" She replied, "That's none of our business now, is it honey?"
The mannequin is now in the window of my dorm room, dressed. Every now and again it startles me or scares the crap out of me. Sometimes I catch it's reflection in my TV like the alien at the end of Signs.
