I laughed out loud when I went into our garage to find my wellie boots this afternoon. There, propped against the rear door, was a full sized, armless, rather beautiful mannequin! I immediately knew what had to be done, but then wondered what the story was! After questioning hubby, it turns out that this beauty is to be the local 'plastic' policewoman in our village, to deter people from speeding. Allan, the Braemar plastic policeman has been in the news, radio 2 in particular, since his recent kidnapping. Not only has a replacement Allan been found, but a couple of new plastic policemen have been found and so our village is to benefit from one of them. Hubby had picked this one up from our local Councillor. She does still need a uniform, however! For Flash of Red February, Week 3 - Portraits.
LOL - what a fun capture and narrative! FYI - if I go to the garage today and see an armless mannequin, my first impulse will not be to laugh...the neighbors will easily hears my screams ☺
@salza They do, to a certain extent. For people who don't know the village, at least. From a distance they can be very realistic. Although this one will need some face paint to make her look real!
I had a horrible thought that you were the Allan stealers....has he been found I wonder? This one looks very glamorous.. a Twiggy look alike to be sure! Instead of monuments or other collections of attraction you are having plastic policemen ...great story & perfect timing for the theme!
A serious looking policewoman. But nice portrait of her.
I think it's funny to see mannequins in the cars at the side of the highway. Anymore, they don't bother to put the mannequins in, just part the car.
