Here’s something I found while digging through my vast archives of unedited… stuff. I took this photo about a bajillion years ago in the Fontbonne University sculpture studio. I’m not sure if this lady is still hanging around there, but judging from the amount of random junk she was stored behind it seems very possible. Chillaxin. Mannequin style.

hmmm….that’s a little scary!
Indeed! Just imagine turning on the lights when you’re the first one to the studio… all of a sudden there are very quiet, very still ‘eyes’ staring at you from all over the place! 🙂
Very lifelike! And I agree, a bit creepy – though she looks startled herself. LOL
I remember the first time I noticed her…
it nearly scared me half to death, because one moment I thought I was alone and the next eyes were peering out at me from a dark corner! *dun dun dun* 🙂
She does have an intense stare. Nice framing using the ladder (?) I really like the composition on this one!
That is very kind of you! That ladder seemed to good an opportunity to pass up! Thank you very much for your kind comments (as always), sir! 🙂
when the image popped up on my reader, i was a bit creeped out. 😉
Sorry, J.G. – I can see that…
🙂
I feel sorry for her, trapped behind that ladder forever…
And all that clay dust, too. A thankless job, I’ll tell ya’! 🙂
Creepy…in a good way.
Thanks so much, Y.A.W. I appreciate that very much! 🙂
Eeek!!! Scary!!! (But I like it anyway!)
Not to worry, Annabelle – she’s a friendly enough mannequin. I hope. 🙂
That’s just bizarre & a little disturbing. No, a lot disturbing. Looks like a dead head & torso in the bottom of a closet…
Hahaha… don’t worry, Tony…
no mannequins were harmed or mistreated in any way during the production of this photograph. 🙂
OK, you’re just freaking me out a little here! OMG, it looks disturbing like Andrew McCarthy…
Hahaha…
maybe I should Photoshop a mustache on this so it looks a bit more like Terry Kiser… seems like he’d be better suited for this role…
🙂
Mannequin…Weekend at Bernies….Mannequin….Weekend at Bernies …. and the winner is?????
Yes! Yes! Yes! I love it, SIG! I love it! I definitely feel inspired to drag out my dollies for that play date now. 😀
WONDERFUL!
I was hoping you would like this one, S.E. – I had you in mind when I posted it! 🙂
🙂
Very haunting and beautiful. Brilliant!
Thanks so much, SDD –
I was very happy to hear that you liked this one! 🙂
I’ve never seen a smiling mannequin. Is there some rule that says they always have to be creepy and serious?
Hahaha!
Agreed! Mannequin factories must be awfully serious places! 🙂
I think she was framed!
It’s real enough to be pretty creepy. And I’m glad she in the university, and not in your closet.
It certainly seems ‘set-up’!
Hahaha… nah, only skeletons in my closet, Binky! 🙂
I just love the way she smiled for you. By the way did you get any damage fro the tornado. I want to send a prayer out to the people of Joplin for the ones that were saved and for the ones that still don’t know about there family.
She was probably just happy to have someone to talk to besides that ladder! 🙂
No, we were very fortunate to miss the whole thing…
I feel just terribly for everyone whose getting hit with all these storms… it’s such a terribly devastating thing…
Is that a sculpture or a mummified corpse of one of your victims??? RUN ANNABELLE!!
Hahaha…
I swear I’m not responsible for this one…
just trying to bring the situation to light… 🙂
save it for the cops
Hahaha…
don’t worry about me, Bearman…
I’ve had plenty of time to put together my story…
🙂
I call for a reenactment with a real lady of your choosing! Maybe this mysterious Annabelle.
Details… details…
🙂
cool picture! a little creepy at first glance, though….
Thanks, Marina!
It’s a little unusual… that’s just how I roll sometimes!
🙂
WOW, and I thought I felt trapped….
Hahaha…
I know that feeling (and clearly she does, too)! Judging from that layer of clay dust, this mannequin had been stuck for quite some time! 🙂
You mean I didn’t comment ont his post? I thought I did.. *sigh*
That happens some times Lynn – it was probably my fault (I’m not always the best about making sure my spam filter hasn’t gone wild)! 🙂
