Round Robin Challenge: Mannequin

The challenge this week is Mannequins; Carly, author of the blog, "Ellipsis" selected the challenge:

So, grab your cameras and hit the malls and trendy little shops, and show me the mannequins you find most photogenic. Show me a mannequin that is weird, or maybe one that is very common. Headless mannequins would be interesting, so would themed mannequins, such as ones depicting fictional characters. Mannequins dressed to reflect the season's apparel, like a mannequin in a beach outfit. For that matter, if you have a mannequin from any of the holidays in your files, that would work, although I would love to see you get out with the camera and find something new and current. Let your creativity flow... don't be afraid to be bold with your choice, but keep in mind the Round Robin Challenges is a open to all ages, so please try to be appropriate.

I do have a current mannequin picture, but I don't like it NEARLY as much as the ones that follow:

You see...I'm a Halloween freak! It's my FAVORITE time of year, my FAVORITE holiday! I saw this mannequin in a store in Salem, MA (the best place to visit on Halloween) and just had to take a picture :-)

Here's a couple of mannequins that waited a REALLY long time to get married ;-)

And here's a mannequin that's lost it's head!

How COOL! You took a favorite holiday and tied it in beautifully!
That headless one sort of weirds me out, but hey, it's art, right?

Hi Janet :)

Sorry it took me so long to get by. I love the Halloween themed mannequins. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and your entry has really put me in the mood. I can't wait. The Pumpkin Head mannequin is my favorite, although the last one is disarming. Fabulous job!!!
