ALERT: Plastic Public Nudity

You know the recession is bad when a store can’t even afford to spare a shirt to cover their damn mannequin. Once allowed to stand proudly with her hands on her hips (aka the signature “sassy anorexic” pose) this mannequin, due to  preventable nudity, has been forced to cover her oily grayish-brown chest in shame.

The “head-free” aspect of this mannequin really bothers me….I mean if we are going to go through the trouble of carving a belly button and abdominal muscles into this plastic monstrosity is it really too much to ask for a head? Or at least a neck that doesn’t bear resemblance to a giraffe/wayward tree branch?
