I pass an auto repair shop at least  a couple times a week.  I always look for the mannequin and to see how she is dressed.  She is kept out front in nice weather.  I was finally able to get a shot of her without stopping traffic.  Here she is:

 

She changes outfits at least a couple times a week.  They are usually leather, and always sexy.  I know hubby would love to see me in the outfit she has on in the picture!  We have always wondered where her clothes come from.  Is the owner or an employee a crossdresser? Are they borrowed from someone's girlfriend? Or are they bought specifically for the mannequin. 

Just a bit of local color for your enjoyment.

Interesting! I bet she is a local conversation piece for a lot of people who see her all the time!

That's definitely better than the bear we have in front of the art building at the University. Somebody dresses that about twice a week. Yesterday it was wearing a cape.

How neat that someone takes the time to do something like that. I bet they are glad that people are noticing their efforts.

The only thing we have close to this is the life size Betty Boop statue that is out in front of the hot dog joint.

thats great, great attention getter
I love this -- we have... (thinking hard here...), nothing! Truly. I think I'll go outside and dress something, someone or decorate a car -- at least we'd have something to look at!

I'm still trying to catch up. Just wanted you to know I stopped by.

We have a local tattoo parlor with a mannequin. She is always dressed in some far-out funky way. I will try to get a pic of her some time. It might be difficult since this place is on a very busy street.
