Last Thursday night, Una and I were enjoying post-work bloggy drinks when BFF and fellow Commune resident Zac came to join us. As we were walking out of the bar, we saw two mannequins strewn haphazardly across a trash pile and Zac and I gasped in disbelief at our ridiculous luck. Two questions loomed large. First of all, who throws away mannequins? Secondly, how are we going to get these home?
We decided to house them in my office for a night so we could properly transport them uptown the next day. Then Friday we lugged them up to 104th on the 6 train, and it was a surprisingly easy trek. For now, Mannie is in my bedroom - he will move to the living room eventually, but my roomie is in the process of moving and I don't want him to be in the way - and yesterday I decided to do a little iPhone shoot with him. (Aaaaaand that brings me back around to point one: creativity maxim in action.)
The frame on the wall is also a recent addition; I'm eventually going to put a piece of fabric or something in it, but I'm not sure exactly what yet, so for now it's empty. Pretty green wall is showing through.
How fun! (And I kind of like the frame empty.)
ReplyDeleteI think the frame is cool the way it is... U will have fun w/those mannequins- a great piece to throw your hat, purse or scarf on!. lol
ReplyDeletesounds like the perfect roommate. Does Mannie have a job? Or is he an unpaid intern?
ReplyDeleteThis has made my day. And my boss' day. And my cubicle buddies' days.
ReplyDeleteThat would kind of creep me out in my bedroom. I always think coats and clothing thrown strewn about look like evil clowns in the middle of the night.
ReplyDeleteCareful you don't wake up in the middle of the night and mistake it for an intruder! Hilarious post as always, I'm loving your blog!
ReplyDeleteAgreed...I like the frame empty (not that you know me or care for my opinion). :)
ReplyDeleteWell it's definitely unique, haha! Love it.
ReplyDeleteOk, first of all, Hipstercrite is going to love this.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, I think you need to make the frame a mirror, to admire your new do.
He looks so nice put together! I can't wait to visit him.(Oh, and I, too, like the frame empty.)
